How Wave takes notes for you

1

Record the conversation

Hit record on your phone for in-person conversations, in the desktop app for video calls (no bot joins), or from your watch when your hands are full.

2

Wave writes while you talk

The conversation is transcribed live with every speaker labeled — a verbatim record forming in the background while you stay fully present.

3

Notes arrive finished

When you stop, the notes are already done: a structured summary, the decisions, and action items with owners — plus the full transcript underneath.

Why manual note taking fails you

1

You can listen or you can write — not both

Manual notes mean you miss half the room. Wave captures the full conversation so you stay present and still walk away with perfect notes.

2

Your notes are your guesses, not the record

Handwritten notes are an interpretation. Wave gives you a verbatim transcript with speaker labels — exactly what was said, by whom.

3

Notes vanish the moment you need them

Three weeks later, nobody can find that one decision. Wave keeps every recording in a searchable archive you can ask questions of.

Available on every device

Features

What an AI note taker should actually do

Records any conversation

In-person meetings, Zoom and Teams calls, phone calls, lectures, voice memos — from your phone, desktop, Chrome, or Apple Watch.

Speaker-labeled transcripts

Wave identifies each speaker and labels every line, so the transcript reads like a script, not a wall of text.

AI summary + action items

A structured recap of decisions, owners, and next steps — pulled from the full transcript, ready before you leave the room.

Ask your notes anything

Chat with any past recording and get answers cited straight from the transcript.

Every device, one archive

Record on your phone, read it on your laptop. iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, Chrome, Apple Watch.

What makes a good AI note taker

The best notes taker is the one that doesn't ask you to choose between participating and documenting. Typing while someone talks means you're transcribing badly and listening worse. An AI note taker flips the trade: the recording is the source of truth, the transcript is verbatim with each speaker labeled, and the summary is generated from everything that was said — not the fraction you managed to jot down.

Wave's notes are also answerable. Instead of re-reading three weeks of notes to find one commitment, ask — "what did the client say about the timeline?" — and get the answer cited from the exact lines in the transcript where it was said.

Notes for every conversation, not just scheduled calls

Most AI note-taking apps are meeting bots: they only work when there's a calendar event with a link to join. But the conversations you most need notes from often aren't on a calendar — the hallway decision, the phone call, the client lunch, the lecture. Wave records from whatever device is closest: phone on the table, desktop app during a video call, or a tap on your Apple Watch or Wear OS watch.

Everything lands in one archive, searchable across months of conversations, synced to iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, and Chrome. It's free to start — 30 minutes every month with full transcription, speaker labels, and summaries, no credit card.

A job saver!

MRMcGinnis

I’m just gonna come right out and say it, I am a horrible note taker. The bad part about this is I have a job we’re all I have to do is take notes so that I can fill out reports. I will go to meetings and try to take notes but when I wrote the notes, I didn’t hear what they said, while I was writing a note.

Just What I'd Been Looking For!

I recently spotted Wave AI Note Taker. Perfect for my needs. Business meetings, doctor appointments, sermons, etc. Thank you so much for what you've created. I know that the early days involve a lot of bug fixes, and I see that you’re updating the app very frequently. Thanks for that too.

Best AI Minutes app!

LauraATX

This app has significantly improved my quality of life. I use Wave to summarize meetings for work, volunteer meetings, lessons I teach (violin/voice), rehearsals, lectures, and even medical discussions. Wave summarizes everything, turns it into plain English that anyone can understand, and separates all the topics with important points, notes, and action items.

Note Taking Magic

ChadFair

Wow…this is a magical app! I work with an offshore IT team and sometimes the English accents are tough to understand. Wave knows exactly what they are saying and summarizes every discussion succinctly.

Great Experience

KHDU1515

I have recently begun utilizing the Wave AI note taker app, and it has significantly enhanced my productivity! The AI capabilities are truly remarkable, allowing for seamless organization and retrieval of my notes and recordings as needed.

Loving it!

Ennpaerramya

I was simply fascinated by how Wave did capture all notes from the last two very complex design sessions and it very neatly clearly succinctly gave me a summary with next steps in the way it organized the notes was fantastic I’m just so tempted to become paid user and take the subscription. Great job guys!!
