What is Audionotes?
Audionotes is an AI-powered note-taking app that transforms voice recordings, audio/video files, images, YouTube videos, and text into structured, searchable notes. The app uses a multi-model AI pipeline (including OpenAI Whisper, AssemblyAI, and Deepgram for transcription, plus GPT-4 and Google Gemini for summarization) to automatically transcribe speech into text, generate summaries, create relevant titles, and organize everything into clean notes within seconds to minutes. It supports 80+ languages with auto-language detection and achieves up to 95% transcription accuracy for clear, single-speaker audio.
Key features include unlimited voice and text notes, transcription and translation in 30+ languages, smart summaries, custom output templates (meeting minutes, lecture notes, blog posts, emails, SOAP medical notes, legal documents, and 100+ prompt options), chat-with-notes functionality for instant Q&A, speaker recognition to identify different speakers, quick search across all notes, folders and tags for organization, bookmarks, and export in multiple formats (TXT, DOC, PDF, SRT, HTML, COMMAND). The app also offers integrations with Notion for auto-exporting notes, Zapier for connecting to 6,000+ apps, Webhooks for custom pipelines, and a WhatsApp Bot (Pro only) for sending voice notes and receiving transcripts directly in chat.
Audionotes is built for busy professionals, executives, CXOs, founders, creators, knowledge workers, students, entrepreneurs, lawyers, medical professionals, and content creators who think and speak more than they type. It excels in meetings (generating minutes, summaries, action items), lectures (creating detailed notes, quizzes, flashcards), journaling, email drafting, content creation (LinkedIn posts, tweets, YouTube ideas, TikTok scripts), medical documentation (SOAP notes, patient entries), legal work (client meeting notes, legal documents), and brain dumps. The app is available on iOS, Android, Web, and Mac, with notes syncing automatically across all devices.
The platform emphasizes privacy and security with encrypted data transmission (TLS) and storage, no third-party sharing, no use of user content for AI training (explicitly opted out with all providers), automatic periodic deletion of old recordings, and full user ownership with account deletion options. Over 200,000 happy users have created more than 1 million notes, and the app is rated 4.9+ stars.

Frequently asked questions about Audionotes
What is Audionotes and how does it work?
Audionotes is an AI-powered note-taking app that converts voice recordings, uploaded audio files, images, and YouTube videos into structured, searchable notes. When you record or upload content, it sends through a multi-model AI pipeline that transcribes speech to text, summarizes key points, generates a relevant title, and organizes everything into a clean note. The process completes within seconds for short recordings and a few minutes for longer files, with no manual editing required.
How many languages does Audionotes support?
Audionotes supports 80+ languages with auto-language detection, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Ukrainian, Dutch, Polish, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, and many more. You can also select your preferred language for transcription if auto-detection isn't accurate.
What is the transcription accuracy rate?
Audionotes achieves approximately 95% accuracy on clear audio with a single speaker and minimal background noise. Accuracy is influenced by audio quality, background noise, speaker accent, technical vocabulary, and language. The app routes recordings through multiple transcription models (OpenAI Whisper, AssemblyAI, Deepgram) selecting the best model for each recording's language and audio profile.
What's the difference between Free and Pro plans?
The Free plan gives unlimited notes with recordings capped at 1 minute each, plus unlimited text notes, transcripts, summaries, and access to all apps. The Pro plan ($129.99/year) extends recordings to 6 hours, raises file upload limit to 500 MB, adds notes from images (10 MB) and YouTube videos (6 hours), unlocks chat with notes, custom prompts, unlimited AI generations, and integrations (Notion, Zapier, Webhooks), plus the WhatsApp Bot and priority processing.
Can I use Audionotes without an internet connection?
Yes, you can record audio without an internet connection. The mobile app (iOS and Android) stores recordings locally on the device, so nothing is lost if you're in a low-signal area. Once the device reconnects to the internet, the app automatically uploads the recording, runs it through the AI transcription and summarization pipeline, and delivers the finished note to your account. However, playback of transcribed notes and AI editing features require an active connection.
Does Audionotes record calls or support call recording?
No, Audionotes does not support in-app call recording. It captures audio exclusively from your device's microphone, not from speakers or other audio sources. You can record calls using a different app or service and then upload the recording to Audionotes for transcription and summarization.
Are my notes private and is my data used for AI training?
Yes, your notes are private by default and never visible to other users. All content is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Audionotes has explicitly opted out of AI model training with every provider (OpenAI, Google, Microsoft Azure, AssemblyAI, Deepgram), meaning your audio and text are never fed into training pipelines. They do not sell, share, or license data to third parties, and you can permanently delete your account and all data at any time.
What file formats does Audionotes accept?
Audionotes supports all major audio and video formats including MP3, MP4, M4A, OGG, WAV, FLAC, WEBM, and more. Pro users can upload files up to 500 MB, while free users have a smaller limit suitable for short recordings. You can also record directly via microphone, paste YouTube URLs, or submit images containing text for OCR extraction.
Can I integrate Audionotes with other apps?
Yes, Pro users have several integration options: native Notion integration auto-exports finished notes to any Notion database; Zapier connects Audionotes to 6,000+ apps (send notes to Slack, append to Google Docs, log in Airtable); Webhooks push note data to any endpoint for custom pipelines; and the WhatsApp Bot lets you send voice notes and receive transcripts back in the chat.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan, and are refunds available?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time through the App Store, Play Store, or web dashboard depending on where you subscribed. Changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. However, Audionotes does not offer refunds for paid subscriptions. They encourage trying the free plan first to ensure the product meets your needs before purchasing.
