A Better Start to 2026
We've redesigned the onboarding experience from the ground up. New users now get a guided setup that helps personalize the app—choose your use cases, preferred formats, and get introduced to features that matter most to you.
More Control Over Your Recordings
Pick your microphone — Choose which audio device to use before recording
Language selection — Set your preferred language for transcripts (yes, it's back)
Transcript refinement — Toggle AI refinement for cleaner, more accurate transcripts (on by default, currently in beta)
Audio retention info — See how many days your audio files will be available for download
Smarter Note Organization
Folders — Create, rename, and organize notes into folders with drag-and-drop support
Batch operations — Select multiple notes to move, archive, or delete at once
Tags — Add and manage tags directly from your note summaries
Better search — Search results now highlight matches and scroll right to them
Tree navigation for folders — Always know where you are in your folder structure
Improved Transcripts & Summaries
Regenerate on demand — Re-run transcription or summarization when you need a fresh take
Separate language settings — Set different default languages for transcripts and summaries
Accuracy feedback — Let us know how we did with the new transcript feedback option
A Cleaner, Smoother Interface
New icon set — We've switched to Phosphor Icons for a cleaner, more consistent look
Smooth animations — Page transitions and modals now feel more polished
Better tooltips — Redesigned tooltips that stay out of your way
Mobile experience — Mobile web is disabled for now; download our native mobile apps instead. We'll work to bring this back.
Account & Profile
Redesigned login and signup — Fresh new look with easier password management
Google sign-in — Log in or register with your Google account
Forgot password flow — Simpler process to recover your account
Safer deletions — Confirmation prompts before removing your profile picture
Notes in Trash
Read-only mode — View notes in trash without accidentally editing them
Deletion details — See when a note was deleted or archived
Hidden actions — Share and edit options are tucked away for trashed notes
30-day auto-deletion — Notes are deleted permanently after 30 days in trash
Small Fixes
Accurate save detection — The save button only activates when there are real changes
Fixed title display — Note and folder titles now show special characters correctly
Cleaner scrolling — Hidden scrollbars for a tidier look
We're always working to make Speech to Note better. If you have feedback, we'd love to hear it!
