Record the interview. Keep the exact words.
Roomtone records the interview — in person or on speaker — and hands back a transcript you can quote from and a write-up of what it covered.

The problems you know too well
You cannot take notes and listen at the same time
The best follow-up question is the one you miss because you were writing down the last answer.
A paraphrase is not a quote
If you need to quote someone accurately, memory and shorthand notes are not enough — you need the actual words.
Interviews pile up faster than you can type them
A backlog of unlabeled recordings is worse than no recordings at all.
What you get
The exact words
The whole interview as text, so a quote is the sentence that was said, not your shorthand for it.
Search inside the words
Find the sentence you remember, not the file you think it is in.
Correct a name or term
Fix a misheard name in the transcript and the write-up updates to match.
Summary alongside the transcript
A quick read of what the interview covered, with the full text one tap away to verify.
Export
Transcript and write-up as PDF, Markdown or plain text, ready to paste into your draft.
100+ languages
The transcript comes back in the language the interview was conducted in.
Perfect for
- Journalists
- Recruiters

Questions
Can I quote directly from the transcript?+
Yes — the transcript is the point. Correct anything the model misheard before you quote it, the same way you would check a recorder's tape.
Does a bot join my meeting?+
Only if you send one. Paste a Zoom, Meet or Teams link and a notetaker joins that meeting, visible to everyone in it. For anything else — a table, a car, a site walk — Roomtone records the room from your phone, where no bot can go at all.
Is there a free plan?+
Yes: 30 minutes of recording a month, with the transcript, the summary, the action items and a share link — no card. A recording you start with minutes left is finished in full, however long it runs, and the minutes reset on the 1st. Pro makes recording unlimited and adds the notetaker for Zoom, Meet and Teams, importing files and YouTube links, chat across all your notes, and export.
What languages does it handle?+
Over 100. The notes come back in the language that was spoken, not translated into English first.
What happens to my recordings?+
The audio is used to produce the transcript and then deleted from the server; your phone keeps its own copy until you delete it. Nothing is used to train a model.
