Overview
Cleft Notes is an AI-powered tool that assists in translating your voice memos into written notes. Essentially an AI scribe, it allows you to quickly document your thoughts, ideas, or meeting summaries simply by speaking.
Leveraging on-device transcription, Cleft transcribes voice into text while also organizing the output for enhanced readability. The conversion involves detailed aspects like the creation of headings and the structural arrangement of content.
Users can edit these transcripts fully in a Markdown format and supplement them with file and image attachments. Once your voice memo is transcribed and edited, Cleft Notes provides you with the ability to distribute it widely.
You can create public links for sharing, or export the note markdown to your preferred application. For workflow automation, Cleft Notes offers integration with tools like Zapier, and allows for syncing with Obsidian for .md files on your local machine.
The app takes privacy seriously with encrypted cloud sync, on-device transcription, and commitment to CCPA/GDPR compliance.
