FirstSeed Co., Ltd. has added a new recording feature to FirstSeed Note. The new feature allows users to record, transcribe, and then organize and use content within one workflow, improving the efficiency of meeting and lecture recording.
The feature uses iOS 26 and macOS 26 speech recognition to transcribe recorded audio to text in real time at no additional cost, offering high-accuracy transcription without extra fees.
By adding a recording function in-app, users can record voice directly inside the app. After recording, transcription is performed automatically and saved into a note. This removes the need to switch between a separate recording app and a note-taking app, enabling users to capture and organize information in one place.
With paid AI capabilities, users can also process transcription data further, including:
1) Transcript refinement: removing spoken redundancies and hesitations to make the text easier to read;
2) Minutes generation: structuring conversations and automatically producing organized meeting minutes;
3) Summarization: generating concise summaries for quickly understanding long recordings;
4) Action item extraction: automatically extracting tasks and required follow-ups from discussions;
5) Lecture summarization: organizing key points of lectures and classes for students;
6) Q&A and interview summaries: sorting questions and answers and structuring content for clarity.
These capabilities turn recordings into outputs that can be immediately used in practical work, rather than leaving them as raw archives.
FirstSeed Note originally focused on text-based note-taking, and now also supports voice input as a complementary input method. In situations where manual typing is difficult, users can now preserve information by recording first and then organize and reuse it.
Product overview: FirstSeed Note is a note-taking app for organizing and reusing ideas and information, combining text, tasks, and highlights to help users manage daily thinking and work efficiently. With the new recording feature, users can now handle audio capture, transcription, summarization, and task extraction in one flow, further expanding the app’s use cases.
