Meeting transcription in 60+ languages
Noter AI turns a recorded meeting into a written transcript in 60+ languages. Every line has a speaker label and a timestamp, and the app detects the language by itself. You record on your phone or send a bot to a video call, and the transcript is ready about 2 minutes later for a one-hour meeting.

Every line, labelled
How it works
- 1Capture the audio. Record in the room with one tap, send the bot to a Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex call, or import an audio file you already have.
- 2Skip the language menu. There is no language to choose before you record. Detection is automatic.
- 3Wait a short time. Processing takes about 2 minutes for a one-hour recording.
- 4Read and check. Open the note, read the transcript, and tap any line to play the audio from that moment.
- 5Rename the speakers. Change the speaker labels to real names so the transcript reads properly.
Noter AI records, transcribes and summarizes your meetings on iPhone, iPad & Android, in 60+ languages.

Sample output
This is an invented example. It shows a short part of a transcript from a Q4 launch meeting, after the speakers were renamed.
| Time | Speaker | Line |
|---|---|---|
| 00:12 | Sara | Let's start with the launch date. Are we still on for the third of November? |
| 00:19 | Omar | I don't think so. The pricing page is not finished and the payment review takes five working days. |
| 00:31 | Sara | So the tenth is more realistic? |
| 00:34 | Omar | Yes, the tenth works if I submit the review tomorrow. |
| 00:41 | Lina | I can finish the pricing page copy by Friday. |
| 00:47 | Sara | Good. I will send the new timeline to everyone on Wednesday. |
- Before you rename them, speakers appear with generic labels.
- The same note also holds a summary and action items. See AI meeting summaries.
Mixed-language meetings
Many meetings do not stay in one language. A team speaks Arabic and says the product names in English. A call starts in Spanish and moves to English when a new person joins. Noter AI handles these meetings because it does not lock a recording to one language.
Here is an invented line where the speaker changes language in the middle of the sentence. Both halves are written down as they were said:
"Vamos a mover la fecha al viernes, the client already agreed to that."
- Nothing to set up. You do not tell the app which languages to expect.
- Read it in one language afterwards. Translate the transcript into any of 46 languages. Speaker labels and timestamps stay in place. More on the translation page.
- Choose the summary language. The summary comes in the meeting's language or in a language you pick.
- Arabic meetings. Arabic is written in formal Modern Standard Arabic.

How to get a cleaner transcript
The transcript can only be as clear as the audio. These habits cost nothing and make the biggest difference.
- Put the phone in the middle. Place it on the table at a similar distance from everyone. A phone next to one person makes the others sound far away.
- Keep it out of your pocket or bag. Cloth over the microphone muffles every voice.
- One speaker at a time. When two people talk over each other, words get lost and the speaker labels become less reliable.
- Move away from noise. A fan, an open window or a coffee machine next to the phone covers quiet voices.
- Do not tap or slide the phone. Bumps on the table are loud in the recording.
- Say names out loud at the start. A quick round of introductions makes it easy to rename the speakers later.
- On a phone call, use the speaker. Put the call on speaker and keep the phone close to you.
- On a video call, use the bot. It records from inside the call, so room noise on your side matters less. See the meeting bot.
Limits and honest notes
- It is audio only. Noter AI does not import video files, YouTube links or PDFs.
- No direct phone call recording on iPhone. iOS gives apps no access to call audio. The way around it is speaker mode.
- Three hours per recording. For a longer session, stop and start a second recording.
- Mistakes happen. Names, numbers and rare terms are the usual errors. Tap the line and listen before you quote someone. Read more on how accurate AI meeting transcription is.
- Speaker labels can slip. This happens most when people interrupt each other or sound alike.
- No web or desktop app. Noter AI runs on iPhone, iPad and Android.
