Record Audio, Get a Transcript and AI Notes

ChatGPT now has its own Record feature, but it only comes with a $20 a month Plus, Pro, or Team subscription, and it does not capture your screen. This recorder captures audio or screen from your phone or browser, then turns it into a transcript with AI notes, with no ChatGPT subscription required.

You can record live or upload a file you already have. Either way you get a searchable transcript, a summary, and the option to ask questions about the recording instead of listening back to the whole thing.

What you get with every recording:

A transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, in 100+ languages
AI notes: a summary and the main points
chapters with timestamps
AI chat with any recording
Export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each, with AI chat

How to Record and Get an AI Transcript

Start recording: Open ScreenApp on your phone or in the browser and press record. On a laptop you can record your screen along with the audio, or record audio only.
Or upload a file: If you already have a recording, upload it instead. It accepts common audio and video formats.
Read the transcript and notes: The transcript and AI notes are ready a few minutes after you stop. Search the transcript, jump to a timestamp, or ask a question about the recording.

Accuracy depends on the audio: a phone near the speaker works well, a recording from across a noisy room will have gaps. See how we measure accuracy.

Who Uses a ChatGPT-Alternative Recorder

Business professionals record client calls and team discussions, then read the AI notes for decisions and follow-ups instead of retyping meeting minutes by hand.

Students record lectures and study sessions, then search the transcript for a term or ask the AI a question about a section they missed.

Journalists and content creators record interviews with speaker labels, then pull quotes straight from the transcript instead of re-listening to the whole recording.

Researchers record focus groups and interviews, then use the transcript to compare what different participants said across sessions.

Support and training teams record screen walkthroughs with narration, then share the transcript alongside the recording so a teammate can skim the steps instead of watching the whole video.
