Voibe Work

Take meeting notes without a bot

Voibe Work captures the meeting from your Mac, in Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or any other app. Nothing joins the call but you.

1. Start notes as the meeting begins

Start meeting notes in Voibe when your call starts. No bot joins, so nobody has to admit a notetaker.

2. Let everyone know

Voibe reminds you to tell the other participants you're taking notes. Follow the recording consent rules that apply to your meetings.

3. Get your transcript and summary

When the meeting ends, Voibe writes the transcript and a summary using the template you pick for that kind of meeting. Both are saved on your Mac.

4. Copy, export or ask

Copy a transcript or summary in one click, export it as a PDF, or ask your meetings what was agreed and who owns what.

Meeting audio is processed by open-source models on zero-retention cloud providers and deleted as soon as processing completes. Nothing is used to train AI.

Voibe Work is available on Mac today. Windows is coming soon.
