Pain points you might face
- • Pausing every few seconds to write notes yet still missing key quotes or decisions.
- • Lecture or meeting notes scattered across files, so nothing is searchable later.
- • Sharing takeaways means rewriting the same content for classmates or teammates.
How this workflow helps
- • Readable paragraphs with timestamps—tap once to jump back and verify tone or emphasis.
- • One-click exports to Notion, Obsidian, Google Docs, or DOCX so every recap stays on-brand.
- • Add highlights, questions, or TODOs inside the transcript before you send it.
