Speaker diarization and timestamps for meetings (March 21, 2025)
We’ve introduced timestamps and speaker labeling for your meeting recordings. Each speaker is identified (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.), so you’ll always know who said what and when.
This feature is enabled for all meetings, giving you structured, readable transcripts right out of the box. It’s been one of our most requested features, and with this update, Voicenotes has become the most affordable and intuitive app for recording any kind of meeting.
Calendar View on Mobile Apps (March 18, 2025)
We’ve replaced the old Streaks UI with a new calendar view, giving you an intuitive way to browse notes by date and track your habits. This popular request is shipped first on mobile apps. Use the calendar to select a date and view your notes from that day.
Tap “View Highlights” to see key moments from the month. At the bottom of the calendar, you’ll still see your note-taking streak and ranking: “You are on a 15-day note-taking streak. You rank 111 out of 200k note-takers.”
Team Channels (March 13, 2025)
We’ve introduced Team Channels to help you organize and share notes within specific groups in your team. For example, if your team is called Alpha, you might create channels like Growth, General, or Design.
Channels appear alongside tags, letting you share notes with the right teammates and keep discussions focused. Just head to your team settings to create and manage channels, and join relevant channels to collaborate actively.
Auto-tagging (February 18, 2025)
Tags are automatically applied to new notes if you have added a tag description, requiring no extra effort on your part.
Key Updates:
Auto-tagging: If you describe a tag, Voicenotes automatically applies it to relevant new notes.
New Tag Creation: You can create a new tag with a description at any time, without attaching it to a specific note.
Note Suggestions: After creating or updating a tag, a pop-up appears with suggested notes you can select to add that tag.
Bulk Note Tagging: The suggestion pop-up includes a search function, allowing you to tag multiple notes at once.
UI Enhancements: The tags dropdown in each note’s options has been refined for a smoother user experience.
Suggest a fix to edit transcription (February 18, 2025)
We’ve deployed the “Suggest a Fix” feature, allowing you to quickly modify any transcript through simple text or audio prompts (e.g., “Change ‘Joy’ to ‘Joey’ and fix punctuation”).
How it Works:
Accessing the Feature: Select Suggest a Fix from the dropdown menu beside the note. This opens a modal where you can:
Enter your prompt: For example, "Change ‘Morgan’ to ‘Megan’ throughout the note and remove filler words like ‘um’ and ‘ah.’”
Record a Suggestion: Once recorded, the suggestion is transcribed in the input area, which you can review and edit if needed.
Updating the Transcript: Click Done to see the regenerated transcript.
Review & Undo: If the result isn’t satisfactory, you can undo the changes and regenerate a new version with an updated prompt.
Team pricing goes live (February 12, 2025)
We introduced Team Billing, allowing multiple users to share one plan and collaborate more efficiently.

Summarize long recordings (January 31, 2025)
You can now choose to display a concise summary for recordings over 5 minutes, instead of the full transcript.
By default, a new toggle in Settings is enabled. Any recording over 5 minutes is summarized, while shorter recordings display the full transcript.
You can turn the toggle off if you prefer full transcripts for all recordings.
Product of the year award (January 29, 2025)
We’re thrilled to share that Voicenotes won ProductHunt’s Golden Kitty Award in the Bootstrapped & Small Teams category—right in our very first year!
