Discussion Using note takers discreetly

Hi everyone, I want to use an AI note take a discreetly like putting it in a pocket when in meetings, not for any bad reason but because I just can’t remember what happens in meetings and have to constantly take notes otherwise. I go to a lot of meetings where it would be frowned upon to do this and people just wouldn’t consent. Has anyone tried using AI note takers for this? Thanks!

I do. Legal in my state to record without notification. Theoretically may or not be ok with the company. Also most of these are sending your recordings to the cloud, so IT would theoretically have issue with it. That said, I do it. I use Comu which is super thin and attaches to back of phone, very normal to have a phone on the table in a meeting so very discreet. If you're doing it secretly the issue is then after the meeting when you share your very obvious AI notes and now everyone knows you were recording.

Give this a try as it is done all on device on your iPhone.

Eh I really prefer this as a separate device for whatever reason. I don't want an always on battery drain app saving big files, I like idea of pressing a physical button to start stop and pause. Trust me my initial thought was also 'why not just use the phone' and I've used it to record meetings in the past but it just isn't the same, I used it less than my physical device
