Tuesday morning, platform 4
Okay, quick voice memo before the train comes in. Three things from today: first, the team agreed on shipping the audio recorder by Friday — that means design freeze tomorrow. Second, I need to call Sam back about the renewal. And third, remind me to pick up oat milk, the small carton, on the way home. That's it.

How it works

Three steps. Honestly, two.

01

Press record

Open notably in any browser. One button. No setup, no account. Talk for as long as you need.

02

We listen

Your voice becomes text in real time. Watch the transcript scroll as you speak. Pause, resume, keep going.

03

It's yours

A clean, searchable note appears in your library. Edit it, share it, paste it somewhere. That's the whole thing.

Features

Small surface. A lot of care.

Everything you need to capture a thought before it leaves. Nothing you don't.

Real-time transcription

Words show up as you say them. No spinner, no wait. Faster than typing, in any language.

▌ so the next step is to call Sam back about the renewal—

60+ languages

Auto-detect or pick. Mix two in one note.

Questions

Things people ask, answered.

You can take five voice notes a day right now, no account required. They live on this device, in your browser. Sign up free anytime to keep them across phones and computers.
Notably uses your browser's built-in speech engine — about 96% word accuracy on clear English audio, and works across 60+ languages including code-switching mid-sentence. Pro adds speaker labels for interviews.
Free gets you 5 notes a day, up to 5 minutes each — plenty for most days. Pro removes all limits, extends note length to 4 hours, and unlocks auto-summaries, smart tags, speaker labels, and integrations.
No. Your notes are yours. They're stored locally by default, never used to train models, and you can export or delete everything anytime.
The note editor works offline. Transcription itself uses your browser's speech engine, which streams to the network — so you'll need a connection for that part.
Yes. Every note is a normal text document. Edit, delete words, paste in additions. Save when you're done.
