What Noted is
Noted records audio and connects notes to points in the recording, making it useful for lectures, meetings, interviews, and conferences. Live transcription displays words as recording happens and identifies speakers. Noted+ can produce summaries of key points, decisions, and action items, with up to 100 summaries per month on each plan. Ask AI answers questions about recordings and notes and can take users to the relevant audio moment, but requires a supported Apple device with Apple Intelligence enabled. Intelligent Playback uses machine learning to identify and skip background noise and silence.
Notes sync through iCloud; the app also uses the Apple calendar for reminders linked to notes. Users can export notes as PDF or plain text, audio as M4A, or share notes with non-users through a web link. Noted is available on iOS and macOS and supports offline access. The free Noted plan is free. Noted+ Monthly is $9.99 a month with no free trial; a 7-day free trial is listed for the yearly plan, whose price is not provided. Noted says it cannot access created content or imported files, while text or generated transcriptions are sent to Google Gemini for AI summaries.
