The problem

Recording meetings sounds easy.

In reality:

  • you forget to record

  • audio is messy

  • calls aren’t captured properly

  • you never go back and listen

And writing notes during calls?

You stop listening.

What it actually does

This is not just a recorder.

It tries to solve 3 problems at once:

  1. record meetings

  2. record calls (even with earbuds)

  3. turn everything into notes

It has different modes:

  • call recording (via Bluetooth)

  • room recording (normal mic)

  • quick voice notes

Then everything goes into the app → transcript + summary.

Our experience (realistic expectations)

What actually feels useful

• being able to record calls while using earbuds is genuinely useful
• audio quality is decent in quiet environments
• summaries help you quickly understand long recordings
• VoiceMark feature (marking moments) is underrated

If you actually review your recordings — this becomes valuable.

What people don’t tell you (but you should know)

This is where most complaints come from.

• setup is not super intuitive
• sometimes call recording doesn’t capture both sides properly
• app experience can feel unfinished
• transcription is “good enough”, not perfect

Important:

👉 this doesn’t happen to everyone
👉 but enough users mention it that you should expect it can happen

Pros

• can record calls with earbuds (rare feature)
• useful for meetings & interviews
• AI summaries save time
• compact and easy to carry

Cons

• setup takes time
• not always 100% reliable
• app could be better
• AI summaries still need checking

Alternatives

Phone voice recorder
→ simple, but no automation

Apps (Otter, etc.)
→ easier, but less flexible

Premium devices
→ better experience, higher price

Final verdict

This is a useful but imperfect tool.

If you rely on meetings and actually revisit notes — it can help a lot.

Worth it — but only if you understand its limits
