Notes Feature, YouTube Downloader & More

I thought first month with a newborn would slow me down! Not at all, in fact, the opposite!

It energised me to build a new and powerful feature from the ground up, based entirely on user feedback. And lots of other features and improvements.

Here’s everything I shipped to Transcript LOL this month:

Notes Feature

Using Notes template engine, you can transform your recordings into perfectly formatted documents in the exact format you want!

Here’s a quick demo:

Say goodbye to wrestling with custom prompts that deliver half-baked results. Notes breaks down complex formatting tasks into manageable pieces, ensuring every instruction is followed to perfection.

Whether you need meeting minutes, research reports, or client summaries, simply create your template once with our intuitive editor, then apply it to any recording in seconds. Mix and match dynamic elements like transcripts, translations, AI-generated summaries, and custom metadata fields to build exactly the document structure you need.

I worked with a few of our most enthusiastic users to make sure Notes really meets their exact requirements. I’m excited to hear you feedback!
