Playbacks is your all-in-one AI powered note taking assistant.
NEW: Talk to your recordings. Tap once and start a live voice conversation with any meeting or lecture - ask questions out loud, get answers out loud, in real time. Debrief a meeting on your walk home, or turn any lecture into a study session.
Whether you're in a meeting, class, interview, or watching a video, Playbacks captures every word, transcribes it with stunning accuracy, and delivers clear, organized notes - so you can stay focused instead of scribbling.
With one tap, Playbacks records your conversation and automatically generates word-for-word transcripts, clean summaries, and even lets you ask the AI questions like: "What were the key action points?" or "Who mentioned the deadline?"
Already have a recording? Upload an MP3 or paste a YouTube link and Playbacks will instantly generate a transcript, summary, and insights - no recording needed.
Playbacks is built with privacy in mind - your recordings are stored securely, and your data is never shared.

This app is very helpful and easy to use. It makes recording and transcribing notes simple and saves a lot of time. The AI features work smoothly and help me stay organized, especially for studying and important conversations. Definitely a great app for students and anyone who needs quick, reliable notes.
Alright, but not worth the price
schrutefarms9000
It’s a good app. Clean, easy to navigate, pretty accurate in its transcriptions. But 140 a year is, in my opinion, definitely not worth the price. You can have the exact same functionality by using any regular voice recording app, and loading it into NotebookLM (Google). Same level of transcription, same chat functionality and summary. Completely for free. If the app was maybe 5 dollars a month it could justify the convenience of having it directly on the phone, but at the moment it’s just not worth it with other free alternatives.
Developer Response
Hi there, thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We appreciate you recognizing the quality of our transcriptions and ease of use. We understand the pricing concern. The difference with our app is the seamless, all-in-one experience designed specifically for students and professionals who need real-time recording, transcription, and study tools without the friction of switching between multiple apps.

So helpful
Molly vrooman
Playbacks has completely transformed my work from home experience. I’m able to conveniently get quick notes on all of the meetings so I can focus on important things! And being able to listen to them after is very helpful as well I wish I had this in college
Like a second brain!
Corporatelindsay
I have to wear a lot of hats in my career, so Playbacks has seriously leveled up & streamline my admin work! Since it can transcript and give really detailed notes about my calls, I’m more on top of my deliverables, more attentive during the actual meetings, and have less busy work on my plate. 10/10!!
Hi Playbacks family! This is our biggest update yet.
Talk to Your Recordings — Now You Can Have a Conversation
Your recordings can finally talk back. Tap once and start a live voice conversation with any meeting or lecture — ask questions out loud, get answers out loud, in real time. No typing, no scrolling through transcripts to find the one thing you needed.
For work: debrief a meeting on your walk home, ask what you committed to, pull out the decisions that actually mattered, and prep your follow-ups before you're back at your desk.
For students: turn any lecture into a study session. Ask your professor's explanation to be broken down again, quiz yourself on the material, or dig into the concept that didn't click the first time. It's like having the lecture available for questions whenever you need it.
As always, we're building Playbacks for you. If there's something you'd love to see next, leave us a review or reach out anytime. Enjoy the update!
