The AI voice recorder, no hardware needed

From conversations
to outcomes.

VoiceMemo records where work actually happens — meetings, classes, calls, passing thoughts — and turns every conversation into a clean record: who said what, what was decided, what happens next. Speaker-separated, searchable, and private by default.

No. 1Speaker separation

Who said what,
on the record.

Multi-person recordings come back split by voice — every paragraph labeled and timestamped, up to six speakers. Tap a label to give it a real name; the AI reads self-introductions and how people address each other, then suggests who's who. You confirm, and names carry into summaries and PDF exports.

Suggestions come only from the conversation itself. Nothing is applied without you.

No. 2Personal vocabulary

It learns your words.

After each recording, VoiceMemo spots the names and terms generic engines get wrong — your colleagues, your jargon, your product names. Confirm a correction once, and every future transcript writes it properly. Accuracy that compounds, in a vocabulary that's yours alone.

People and terms live in one directory — it also powers speaker-name suggestions and grounds your summaries.

No. 3Ask your notes
What did we actually decide about pricing last week?

Ask in plain language. VoiceMemo reads across every recording you've made and answers with the exact spot it found it. Your conversations stop being files — they become a memory that talks back.

No. 4And the rest of it

A recorder that thinks.

One-press capture

Bind the Action Button, Lock Screen, or Siri. One press and you're recording — pocket, screen off, mid-walk.

Summaries with structure

Overview, key decisions, action items — pulled out of your ramble in seconds, listed separately.

Summaries you can steer

Select a passage, note what to change, keep adding notes — then apply them all in one pass.

Nothing gets lost

Lock the screen, switch apps, lose signal — transcription carries on in the background and retries on its own.

Export any way

PDF for the record, an image card for the group chat, plain text, or the original audio. Format first, then scope.

Private by design

Transcribed on your device by default. Audio lives on your phone and your own iCloud — never on our servers.

Thinking about a $159 AI recorder?

The capabilities that sell those devices — speaker separation, accurate transcription, structured summaries — are software. VoiceMemo puts them in the phone you already carry. The hardware only earns its price for phone-call recording and wearable capture.

No. 7Questions

Answered directly.

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?
Not by default. Recording and transcription happen on your device. Audio files live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud backup — never on our servers. Only if you switch a note to the cloud engine is that audio sent, over an encrypted connection, to be transcribed.
Can it turn a recording into meeting notes automatically?
Yes, in one tap. After a recording is transcribed, VoiceMemo generates a structured summary — overview, key decisions, and action items, listed separately. Summaries draw on your monthly AI minutes (60 free, 1,200 on Pro) — a recording is charged its own length once, and re-generating after that is free.
Is VoiceMemo free?
The free tier is free forever — unlimited local recording and on-device transcription, plus 60 AI minutes a month and a 100-term personal vocabulary, no account required. An AI minute is one minute of your recording being processed by cloud AI, charged once per recording. Every feature is included free; Pro ($4.99/month or $34.99/year, 7-day free trial) raises the pool to 1,200 AI minutes a month.
Can it tell speakers apart in a meeting recording?
Yes. With cloud transcription, a multi-person recording comes back split by voice — every paragraph labeled and timestamped, up to six speakers. Tap a speaker to give them a real name (AI suggests who's who from self-introductions and how people address each other), and names carry into summaries and PDF exports.
Do I need an AI voice recorder like Plaud, or is an app enough?
If your recordings happen where your phone already is, an app is enough. VoiceMemo records with one press from the Action Button or Lock Screen, transcribes on-device, and writes AI summaries — free to start, with no $159 device to buy, charge, sync, or forget at home. Dedicated hardware earns its price for phone-call recording and wearable capture; many people use both. See the full comparison →
