Phone Call— Record Conversations with Hardware or App

Q: How does HyNote record phone calls without a bot joining?

HyNote records directly from your device — either via the AI Voice Recorder hardware placed near your phone's speaker, or through the US Direct-Dial App which captures the call natively. No third-party bot joins your line, making it ideal for sensitive or client-facing calls.

Q: Why use the HyNote Hardware instead of the App?

The HyNote AI Voice Recorder (available at https://hynote.ai/ai-voice-recorder) features professional MEMS microphones and 32GB of local storage. It provides superior noise cancellation, a dedicated physical record button, and works globally — whereas the Direct-Dial App is optimized for US cellular networks.

Q: Does the hardware work for recording phone calls?

Yes. Place the HyNote device near your phone while on speakerphone, or connect via Bluetooth. The high-fidelity microphones capture both sides of the conversation clearly for accurate AI transcription.

Q: Can I use the US Direct-Dial App without the hardware?

Yes. If you are in the US, the HyNote App records calls directly without the hardware. The hardware is recommended for users who want the highest possible audio quality and a dedicated recording tool.

Q: How accurate is the transcription?

HyNote delivers up to 99% accuracy for clear speech (internal benchmarks). Accuracy depends on audio quality — the hardware's MEMS microphones provide the cleanest signal for optimal results. Background noise, speaker distance, and connection quality can affect accuracy.

Q: Can I export call recordings and notes to other tools?

Yes. Export transcripts and summaries as PDF or TXT, or push them directly to Notion or Google Docs. Direct CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot) is not yet available.

Q: How do I sync hardware recordings to the HyNote app?

Your HyNote device syncs via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Once connected, recordings upload to your encrypted cloud account for AI processing and appear across all your devices.

Q: Does HyNote work outside the US?

The AI Voice Recorder hardware works globally — place it near your phone's speaker to record any call anywhere. The US Direct-Dial App is currently limited to US cellular networks. International users should use the hardware for the best experience.

Q: Is call recording legal?

Call recording laws vary by jurisdiction. Some regions require one-party consent, others require all-party consent. HyNote encourages users to check local laws and obtain necessary consent before recording any call.

Q: Is there a free trial?

Yes. HyNote offers a 7-day free trial with full access to AI transcription, speaker identification, and note generation features.
