Record, then read along

Play the note with each word lighting up as it is spoken. Switch between read-along, word pop and captions.

Fix a word if you need to

Tap a word in the transcript to jump there, or edit it when the AI missed something. Your corrections stay with the note.

A summary in a few bullets

Long notes get a short summary so a recipient can see the point before they press play, or after, from the same screen.

Send the words, or just the voice

Share a link. Recipients hear the audio and can follow the transcript on the web player, on any phone or browser.

How transcription works

You record in the Black Notes app on iPhone. After you stop, the note is transcribed and a summary is written. That step needs a network connection; the recording itself stays on your phone until it uploads.

When someone opens your link, they can listen and read along. Recipients can't download this note unless you turn saving on. You can still unsend it, or set it to listen-once or disappear.

Questions

How does a voice recording become a transcript?

After you record, Black Notes sends the audio to be transcribed and summarized. The transcript shows up on the note, in the app and on the web player.

Can I edit the transcript?

Yes. You can tap a word to jump to that moment, and you can correct words the transcript missed. The corrected version stays with the note.

Do I get a summary as well as a transcript?

Yes. Black Notes writes a short summary with a few clear bullets, so you or a recipient can get the point without replaying the whole note.

Does transcription work without the internet?

Recording works on the phone. The transcript and summary appear after the note can reach our servers, so you need a connection for that step.

Can recipients copy the transcript as a file?

Recipients can't download this note, including a transcript file, unless you turn saving on.
