01
Your first recording
Start with something small. Tap the microphone, speak naturally, and tap stop when you're done. VoxNota will transcribe and structure the note while you carry on with your day.
- Tap the microphone (or press space) to start.
- Speak in your normal voice and at your natural pace.
- Tap stop when you're finished — the note saves automatically.
"Tomorrow I need to call the dentist at 10am, then pick up groceries — milk and eggs. Also: send the quarterly report to Sarah by Friday."
02
Speak to it like a person
Brain-dump first; structure comes later. VoxNota understands context, so include who, what, and when as you go. Names get tagged. Dates get parsed.
- Mention people by name — they'll be tagged automatically.
- Use natural date language: 'next Tuesday', 'end of month', 'in three weeks'.
- Switch topics in one recording — VoxNota separates them.
03
Lead with a category
Optionally start with a short label — "Work task:", "Personal:", "Idea:", "Meeting notes:". This isn't required, but it gives the curation a head start.
"Meeting notes: standup with the engineering team. Decisions: we ship the redesign Friday. Action items: I send the launch email to Sarah by Wednesday."
04
Multi-language support
VoxNota transcribes 99 languages and preserves your original — no forced English translation. Switch mid-sentence if it's natural to you; the transcript follows.
05
Date intelligence
Relative dates become absolute ones. "Tomorrow" becomes the actual date. "Next Friday at 2pm" becomes a precise timestamp. "End of Q3" resolves to September 30.
06
Searching by meaning
VoxNota's search understands intent, not just keywords. Ask conversational questions like "What did I say about the budget last week?" and get the relevant notes back.
07
Workflows that work
Three patterns that pay back the time you put in:
- Morning brain-dump: 2–3 minutes of everything on your mind. VoxNota organises it into a working day plan.
- Post-meeting recap: record a summary while it's fresh — decisions, action items, follow-ups.
- Friday review: 90 seconds on what got done, what's carrying over, and the priorities for Monday.
08
What to avoid
A few small habits that make recordings less useful:
- Over-explaining: 'Call Bob about the project' beats 'I need to remember to call Bob tomorrow about the project status update'.
- Editing as you speak: don't say 'um, no, scratch that' — just keep going. Edit later if you need to.
- Loud environments: VoxNota handles noise well, but a quiet room is best for important recordings.
