For the meetings that happen in a room: client visits, 1:1s, standups and workshops. Record on your iPhone, Mac or Apple Watch, and Phrase turns the conversation into a recap of the decisions and to-dos, with the audio still attached. No bot joins anything.
Start in the app, from Control Center or on your Apple Watch. Put the phone face down and get on with the meeting.
Phrase writes a note with a summary, the decisions and the action items, plus the full transcript.
The audio stays with the note. Tap a line of the transcript to hear exactly what was said.
The assistant prepares the reminders, calendar events and update email. You approve each one.
Phrase uploads the recording and shows its progress as it writes the note: a title, a summary, and sections for decisions, open questions and action items. If a step fails, nothing half-finished lands in your library, and you can try again.
Ask the assistant to put the action items in Reminders, hold time for the follow-up in your calendar and draft the recap email to the team. It shows each step and asks before it adds a reminder or an event. Nothing sends itself.
Search covers titles, summaries and the full text of every note. Ask a question and the answer links to the meetings it came from, so you can open the note and replay the moment before you rely on it.
What did we promise Acme about onboarding?
A migration call in week one, then weekly office hours through March. Dana owns it, and the kickoff flagged it as a firm commitment.
Record the decisions and actions yourself, then print or download the draft.
Give each topic a time limit and check the schedule before the meeting begins.
A 90-second check before the room fills up, and where to put the phone so the far end of the table is audible.
One transcript excerpt beside the minute lines it produced, with the rule behind every cut.
Pick Voice Memos or QuickTime Player, check the input level in Sound settings, and keep the MacBook lid open.
No. Phrase has no meeting bot and never joins a call. It records what you can hear in the room on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch, and turns that into a structured note. On Mac it uses the microphone and does not capture audio from other apps. If you need an attendee bot for remote calls, a dedicated meeting-bot tool is the right choice; Phrase is built for in-person meetings, 1:1s, client visits, and workshops.
When processing finishes, the recording becomes a note with a title, a summary, the transcript and an organized body, usually the recap, the decisions and the action items. The original audio stays attached, so you can check any line against what was actually said.
Phrase prepares an email or message draft for you to review and send. The assistant can also create Reminders from action items and prepare Calendar events, using confirmation or system permission where required.
Recording laws and workplace policies vary by region and company. Phrase is designed for meetings you are allowed to record, so ask for consent where required.
