About this app

Recorder brings new powers to meetings, lectures, band practices, family memories – anything that you want to capture. Recorder automatically transcribes and labels what you record so that you can easily find the parts that matter to you. Save, edit, share, listen to later, or even summarize. Available on Wear OS with a dedicated watch face tile to quickly capture moments and thoughts on your phone or Pixel Watch.

Ratings and reviews

Recording works great, as does transcription. Lack of ability to access the recording files is annoying though. Unless you use their cloud sync, there's no easy way to access your own files other than sharing each recording and transcript individually. Huge pain. I don't want cloud sync, I just wanna access the recording locally, easily.

The app essentially nags you into turning privacy settings down. I don't want Recorder to be able to record in the background. I set it this way on purpose. Yet every time I start a recording, I have to go through a pop-up warning me that background recording is blocked. Yeees. Because that's what I set it to. Please allow me to dismiss this pop-up permanently.

for months now I cannot search for my own recordings. I put keywords on the search bar or even the title of the recording perfectly and it just shows "no results found" when I literally have three recordings that I just saved with those names. There's no option to add more audio to a recording already saved and other editing capabilities. I love the transcribing, useful like the cloud saving really good app but I am forced to use Samsung recorder since it has many more useful editing tools.
