Different recordings need different structure. A meeting is not the same as a recipe. A reminder is not the same as a travel diary. Voice Notes AI uses note types to make each recording easier to scan and use later.
Meeting notes
Use meeting notes for calls, standups, planning sessions, client conversations, founder discussions, and project reviews. The useful output is usually a summary, decisions, owners, next steps, and open questions.
Reminder notes
Use reminder notes when speech contains time-sensitive intent: appointments, bills, medication, errands, messages to send, or follow-ups. This note type is about remembering something at the right time.
Checklist notes
Use checklist notes for shopping, packing, launch plans, event prep, housework, QA passes, and repeatable workflows. A messy spoken list becomes easier to act on when it is broken into items.
Map notes
Use map notes for places, addresses, parking, restaurants, apartments, field visits, venues, routes, and local observations. Location context makes the note more useful than plain text alone.
Idea notes
Use idea notes for product ideas, business concepts, content topics, campaign thoughts, feature suggestions, and creative sparks. Speaking is often the fastest way to preserve an idea before it disappears.
Journal notes
Use journal notes for daily reflection, mood logs, memories, personal decisions, and private progress. Voice journaling helps people capture detail without needing to sit down and write.
Lecture notes
Use lecture notes for classes, talks, workshops, study sessions, and long explanations. A transcript and summary can make review easier than replaying long audio.
Interview notes
Use interview notes for customer discovery, user research, recruiting, journalism, expert calls, and sales discovery. The useful details are questions, answers, quotes, themes, objections, and follow-ups.
Expense notes
Use expense notes for meals, taxis, hotels, fuel, parking, client purchases, and reimbursements. Capturing the vendor, amount, purpose, and context immediately prevents forgotten details later.
Recipe notes
Use recipe notes for ingredients, measurements, cooking times, substitutions, family recipes, and kitchen experiments. Voice is useful when hands are busy and timing matters.
Travel notes
Use travel notes for itineraries, gates, hotels, routes, museums, restaurants, recommendations, and trip diaries. Travel creates details quickly, and voice capture keeps them from getting lost.
General notes
Use general notes for quick thoughts, names, numbers, observations, and anything that does not fit another category. General notes keep flexible capture available without forcing the user to choose a structure too early.
The right note type helps Voice Notes AI turn audio into a useful shape instead of just storing another recording.
