How it works

  1. 1

    Sign in and add the recording

    Create a free account, then record live or upload a supported audio file.

  2. 2

    Generate the transcript

    HyNote turns the speech into an editable transcript with timestamps.

  3. 3

    Review and use the result

    Check names, numbers, and technical terms, then copy, save, or summarize the transcript.

Recording quality matters

Get a clearer transcript

Clear speech, limited background noise, and less overlapping dialogue generally produce better results.

Keep the microphone close

Place the recording device near the speakers instead of across a large room.

Reduce background noise

Turn down music, close doors, and avoid loud fans or traffic where possible.

Limit overlapping speech

Separate turns make conversations and speaker changes easier to follow.

Say key terms clearly

Names, acronyms, and specialist vocabulary are easier to review when spoken distinctly.

Review important details

Compare names, numbers, quotations, and technical terms with the original recording.

After transcription

Use the transcript

Keep working with the recording in HyNote instead of leaving the text as an isolated file.

Summarize it

Create a shorter overview of the main points.

Make meeting notes

Organize decisions, action items, and follow-up work.

Ask questions

Query the recording when you need a specific detail.

Save it to a notebook
