The slim device, weighing 28 grams, is small enough to fit in a wallet or easily attach to the included magnetic ring on the back of your handset (note: it requires a special USB dongle to charge). The 64GB of storage space and 45 hours of battery life aren’t huge, but both should be more than enough to handle an entire week’s worth of interviews without any offloading or recharging, all processed through OpenAI’s GPT-5 and Google’s Gemini. The small LCD is helpful (and rare in this market), it tells you when you’re recording and offers the recording duration. This makes it much more foolproof than other notetakers, which give you nothing more than a colored LED to tell you whether it’s on or not.
Note Pro supports 113 types of languages. It will record in a foreign language and provide a verbatim transcript in the original language, but the insights and summaries will be delivered in the language of your choice. It’s not a complete solution if you need a full, straight translation, but if you need the gist of a foreign news story or speech, Comulitic can handle it adeptly.
The proof of this is in the quality of the substance and insights provided. Of all the tools I tested, Comulytic’s summaries were the most informative and least nonsense (though better than its transcripts), effectively picking out the most relevant parts of interviews and extracting the best quotes from my conversations (perhaps too many at times). It was the only tool to correctly spell the poor product alias mentioned in an interview, indicating that a more sophisticated language model may be behind the scenes.
Comulitic is not perfect. It doesn’t transcribe in real time, it’s one of the slowest products to complete analysis, and I never got its “Fast Transfer” mode to work, which meant all recordings had to be sent to my phone via a pokey Bluetooth connection, but these are minor drawbacks against an otherwise solid solution. The best part is that for a limited time, the company includes a generous three months of premium service at no charge. Even if you don’t want to subscribe, the free plan, which offers three “deep dives” and 10 essences a month, is better than nothing.
Subscription costs $15 per month or $120 per year
