Understanding AI Transcription

ParrotNotes uses advanced AI technology to convert your speech to text with high accuracy. The transcription process happens in real-time, and you can see the text appear as you speak.

Key features of the transcription include:

• Real-time transcription: See your words appear as you speak
• Punctuation detection: Automatically adds periods, commas, and question marks
• Multilingual support: Supports multiple languages within the same recording
• Language support: Works with multiple languages (see our language support page for details)

For best results, speak clearly and in a quiet environment. The AI will improve its accuracy over time as it learns your voice patterns.

Using AI Summaries and Action Items

One of ParrotNotes' most powerful features is its ability to automatically generate summaries and extract action items from your recordings. After your recording is transcribed, the AI will:

1. Create a concise summary of the main points
2. Identify and list action items and to-dos
3. Suggest relevant tags for easy organization

To access these features, simply tap on your transcribed note and look for the "AI Summary" and "Action Items" tabs at the top of the screen.
