Record. Transcribe. Ask AI
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Playbacks is your all-in-one AI powered note taking assistant.
NEW: Summarize anything, not just audio. Add PDFs, slides, articles, YouTube videos, and photos on their own or attach them to a recording, and Playbacks folds everything into one summary you can chat with. Then turn any note into quizzes and flashcards, and challenge classmates and friends on the leaderboard.
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 lets you ask the AI questions like: "What were the key action points?" or "Who mentioned the deadline?"
No recording? No problem. Upload an MP3, a PDF, a slide deck, or a photo, or paste a YouTube or article link, and Playbacks will instantly generate a summary and insights you can chat with.
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.
Playbacks is built with privacy in mind - your recordings are stored securely, and your data is never shared.
Playbacks transcribes and summarizes in dozens of languages, including English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi and many more. The app is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Dutch, Italian, and Japanese.

Combining a lecture with its slides and readings into one set of notes

Hi Playbacks family! Playbacks isn't just for recordings anymore.
Summarise Anything - Not Just Audio
Your best material doesn't always start with a recording. Now you can add PDFs, Word and PowerPoint files, web articles, YouTube videos, and photos straight into Playbacks, right alongside your audio recordings. Playbacks summarises each one, and you can chat with it just like you would with a recording.
For students: drop in the lecture slides, the assigned reading, or that two-hour YouTube lecture, and get clear notes in minutes. Snap a photo of the whiteboard or a textbook page and ask the chat to explain the parts that didn't click.
For work: add the report, the deck, or the article everyone's talking about, and get the key points without reading the whole thing. Ask the chat for the numbers, the decisions, or the one slide that matters.
Mix and match: combine files, links, and recordings in one note, and your summary and chat cover all of it.
Quizzes & Flashcards - Study Smarter
Turn any note into a study session. Generate quizzes and flashcards from your recordings and sources to test what you know and make it stick. Share them with classmates and friends, and see who tops the leaderboard.
Enjoy the update!
