Portable AI voice recorder device that records, transcribes, translates, and summarizes meetings, calls, and lectures.
Clipto is an AI-powered transcription and knowledge assistant built exclusively for Mac that functions as a fully local, searchable media library for audio and video. It transcribes and indexes a range of content including videos, audio files, podcasts, meetings, interviews, and lectures, with automatic transcription, speaker labeling, and AI summaries that condense long recordings. Its standout capability is search: users can run natural-language queries across large volumes of media, jump to exact timecodes for spoken dialogue, and surface people, scenes, and objects across their library. Processing is fully local and works offline with no cloud uploads, which the product positions as a privacy-focused architecture for creators and professionals who manage large media collections. Clipto integrates with creative and storage tools, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Dropbox, Google Drive, NAS, and local folders, and offers auto-tagging to keep footage organized. It targets content creators such as photographers, video editors, filmmakers, agencies, and marketers, but its transcription of meetings and interviews makes it relevant for capturing and revisiting conversations as well. The app is actively operating, requires Apple Silicon Macs with sufficient memory and a recent macOS version, and also offers an iOS app. Free and paid plans are referenced. Pricing varies by plan.

Mobvoi TicNote is a slim, portable AI voice recorder device paired with a companion app and cloud service for capturing and processing spoken content. The hardware is a lightweight card-style recorder (with related earbud-style recording options) built with multiple microphones for clear capture of meetings, calls, lectures, and conversations. Its built-in AI assistant, Shadow, transcribes audio in real time across more than 120 languages and generates concise summaries, meeting minutes, and mind maps from what was recorded. The device is designed to let users stay present in a conversation while it handles note-taking automatically, and processed transcripts and summaries are accessible through the TicNote cloud platform. Because it is a dedicated wearable-style recorder rather than software that joins a video call, TicNote is well suited to capturing in-person meetings, phone calls, interviews, and classes. Mobvoi positions it for immigrants and international students, journalists and reporters, global business teams, creators and podcasters, students and researchers, and sales and marketing professionals who need reliable transcription and summarization on the go without depending on a laptop or a meeting bot. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
