Wave AI Note Recorder is an AI note-taking and recording app for iPhone, Android, and Web that can record, transcribe, and summarize meetings, lectures, phone calls, and everyday conversations. Users can capture every word by simply pressing a button, without taking notes manually. The app supports use on phones, desktops, and Apple Watch and Wear OS smartwatches.
Main capabilities:
- Recording and transcription: Supports recording online meetings, in-person conversations, and real phone calls (on the Premium plan, you can use your own number to call and record both sides). Supports background recording, so audio can be captured even when the screen is locked.
- Real-time transcription: Provides real-time transcription in English.
- AI summaries: Automatically generates summaries, extracts key points and action items, and organizes content into easy-to-understand text.
- Search and Q&A: Through the chat feature, you can ask questions about recording content, find any word or sentence, and get titles, key points, and other information.
- Multilingual chat: You can talk in any language, and Wave will translate and summarize.
- Import files: Supports importing call, video, or podcast files for Wave to summarize.
- Sharing: You can send summaries and transcriptions to friends, team members, or email.
- Meeting integration: Syncs with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and others, and can join any meeting.
- Security and privacy: SOC 2 compliant, with independently audited security controls; recordings, transcriptions, and summaries are not used to train AI models; transmission uses TLS 1.2+, and storage at rest uses AES-256 encryption; you can permanently delete a single recording or your entire account at any time.
