Noted: A Notetaking and Transcription Tool

October 21, 2025

Co-workers sharing notes with each other at a meeting.

Note-taking apps have come a long way in recent years. Not long ago, students and professionals had to choose between typing their notes or recording audio and manually transcribing it later. Now, with the help of voice-to-text transcription technology, it’s possible to capture every word in a meeting or lecture without having to manually type out a single word.

We’ve already explored some great transcription/notetaking options in the past such as Otter.ai, (which still holds the top spot for voice-to-text transcription apps), but today we are going to look at another great notetaking app that deserves our attention.

Noted brings together voice recording, transcription, and note organization into a single app that is designed for students, professionals, or anyone looking to keep their information organized and accessible.

With Noted, you can record audio and automatically convert it into searchable text. Each note is time-stamped, so it’s easy to jump right to the exact moment you need to review. The app also uses machine learning to enhance playback, skipping silences and reducing background noise so you can focus on what’s important, without unnecessary distractions.

Everything you record is securely stored and synced across devices through iCloud, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even Apple Watch. Noted supports multiple export formats such as PDF, TXT, M4A, and web links, making it easy to share notes among your colleagues or classmates, or to back them up for future use.

Additional features include revision reminders, custom themes, private note locking, and home screen widgets for quick access. Noted also currently supports 18 languages, including French.

Noted also comes with built in accessibility features such as Voice-Over compatibility, custom controls, and the ability to adjust font sizes within the app.

Designed with productivity and accessibility in mind, Noted offers a clear, streamlined way to capture, review, and organize information. Whether you’re recording a lecture or documenting a meeting, Noted is a great tool for capturing the maximum amount of information with the minimal amount of effort.
