Minutes that tell youwhat to check.

NoteWave checks the facts that matter most for each type of meeting against the recording, such as attendance, quorum, resolutions and due dates. Anything it could not find is listed for you to confirm.

Precise corrections
Correct one line, or fix a name everywhere it appears, with the transcript close at hand.
One section at a time
Ask Echo to rework a single section. The rest of the document stays as it is.
Version history
Every version is kept, so you can look back and restore an earlier one.

Frequently asked
questions.

Find answers to common questions about NoteWave's features, security, and pricing.

Yes. Record the meeting in NoteWave, upload an existing audio file, or let NoteWave join your online call. Once the transcript is ready, you can generate formal minutes, action minutes or an executive report from the same meeting.

Formal minutes, action minutes and executive reports are included in Pro (R379 a month) and Business (R599 per user a month). New accounts can try Business free for up to 14 days, with no card needed for the first week. Without an account, the free meeting minutes generator turns your notes into a draft.

Yes. For formal minutes, choose the type of meeting: general, board of directors, shareholder AGM or EGM, school governing body, body corporate AGM or body corporate trustee meeting. Each is written in that body's vocabulary, and NoteWave lists the facts its minutes are expected to show, such as quorum, proxies or declarations of interest, that the recording did not confirm.

Yes. Select up to four of your NoteWave recordings, for example a meeting recorded in two parts, and add up to four documents or pasted notes, such as the agenda or last meeting's minutes. The agenda and previous minutes give context, and the recordings and notes say what happened.

Yes. Start with your notes or a transcript from Teams, Zoom or another tool, then add an agenda or previous minutes for context if you have them. Choose the format, language, level of detail and tone, review the draft, and export it to PDF or Word. An agenda or previous minutes alone are not enough to say what happened in the meeting.

Yes. Correct specific wording, fix a name everywhere it appears, update the meeting details, ask Echo to revise one section, regenerate with feedback, or restore an earlier version when needed.

Yes. NoteWave exports meeting minutes as a polished PDF or an editable Word document. On Business, your logo and company name appear on the minutes.

Yes. On Pro and Business, NoteWave can join your Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet calls. On any plan you can also record a meeting in the room or upload a recording.

Yes. NoteWave transcribes 99+ languages, including meetings that switch between English and Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa or Sepedi, and it can write the minutes in any of those five. Accents, background noise and overlapping speakers affect the result, so review names and key decisions before you send.

No. NoteWave creates a strong, structured draft. Your team remains responsible for reviewing and approving the final record and for meeting any legal, governance or organisation-specific requirements.

That depends on the organisation and the type of meeting. Many governance settings require accurate records or formal minutes. NoteWave helps prepare the draft, but it does not replace legal advice or your organisation's approval process.
