Turn any recording into notes you can actually use
Lectures, interviews, voice memos — Record to Notes transcribes hours of audio right in your browser, then turns it into structured notes with chapters and summaries. Free, unlimited, and your audio never leaves your device.
Built for long recordings
Most free tools cap you at 30 minutes or 3 files a day. We tested Record to Notes on a 2-hour file: it just works — with live output while it runs.

Audio to notes →Why it's really free — no catch
Your browser does the transcription on your own device. We don't pay a cloud bill for your audio, so we don't need to cap you, charge you, or upload your files. That's also why it's private by design: the audio physically never leaves your computer.
