What is an AI note taker?
An AI note taker is software that listens to a conversation, transcribes the speech into text, then uses AI to write a summary, label speakers, and pull out follow-up tasks. It replaces typing notes by hand and gives you a searchable record of meetings, lectures, calls, and voice notes. Memoth is a personal AI note taker built for real-life conversations, not only workplace meetings.
How accurate is Memoth's AI transcription?
Memoth uses state-of-the-art speech-to-text models with speaker diarization. Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, and background noise, but on clean recordings it routinely reaches 90–95% word accuracy. You can always edit the transcript, and the original audio is kept alongside it so you can verify any line.
Does Memoth need a meeting bot?
No. On Mac, Memoth records meetings locally without joining the call as a visible bot — no awkward 'Memoth has joined the meeting' popup, no participants disabling the recording. You can also record on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or by forwarding a WhatsApp voice message to the Memoth bot.
Is there a free AI note taker plan?
Yes. Memoth has a free tier that includes recording, transcription, and AI summaries with a monthly cap. Pro and Pro Plus unlock more recording hours, Apple Reminders sync, Apple Watch recording, Mac meeting capture without a bot, and WhatsApp transcription. See the pricing page for details.
What can I record with Memoth?
Anything you can listen to: in-person meetings, video calls, lectures, study groups, therapy sessions, coaching, doctor appointments, interviews, sales calls, podcasts you produce, voice journals, brainstorms, and ideas captured on your Apple Watch. Memoth is built to be your second memory for conversations that matter.
Who is Memoth best for?
Memoth is best for students, people in therapy or coaching, patients at medical appointments, solo founders, freelancers, consultants, journalists and interviewers, and anyone who wants to keep a clear record of important conversations without relying on a workplace meeting bot.
Can Memoth create action items from a conversation?
Yes. After Memoth transcribes a recording, the AI extracts follow-up tasks with the surrounding context so you understand why each item matters. On Pro plans, action items can sync straight to Apple Reminders so they show up in the system you already use.
Can Memoth translate conversations?
Yes. Once a conversation is transcribed, you can translate it into your preferred language. Memoth keeps the original transcript and the translated version side-by-side, so you preserve the source and can still verify any line against the audio.
Where are my recordings stored? Is Memoth private?
Your Memoth library syncs through your personal iCloud, not a vendor's database. Audio and transcripts stay associated with your Apple ID. This makes Memoth especially well-suited to private conversations like therapy, medical appointments, client work, and personal voice journals where you don't want sensitive audio sitting on a third-party server.
How is Memoth different from Otter, Fireflies, and Granola?
Otter, Fireflies, and Granola are built primarily for workplace meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, often by adding a bot to the call. Memoth covers those too, but is designed first for personal use — lectures, therapy, appointments, Apple Watch capture, WhatsApp voice notes, and in-person conversations — with iCloud-based privacy. See the dedicated Otter, Fireflies, and Granola comparison pages for a feature-by-feature breakdown.
