VocalNote
What VocalNote is
VocalNote turns voice recordings, documents, images, YouTube videos, and web articles into structured notes, summaries, and drafts. It is designed as a personal second brain for voice memos and notes from multiple sources, without meeting bots joining calls. Users can ask questions about individual notes or search saved notes and folders to combine information. It supports more than 100 languages and offers 15 custom writing styles.
VocalNote summarizes PDF, Word, and Excel files, and its image feature transcribes and organizes whiteboards, handwriting, receipts, and slides. It can convert sung or instrumental audio into ABC notation and downloadable MIDI for piano and guitar. Its REST API includes transcription and rewriting, document and YouTube summarization, image OCR, web page summarization, behavioral analytics, and PII scrubbing. The free Starter plan allows 10 voice notes per month, recordings up to 3 minutes, two writing styles, basic text export, and web access. Pro is $9.99 per month, and a 7-day trial is listed. A 2-Year Pass is $149, paid once. The site says audio is encrypted in transit and at rest, and private user data is not used to train public AI models.
