For researchers, journalists and consultants

An AI Transcription App Built for Readers

TicNote turns interviews, meetings and lectures into searchable, citable text, so the material you hear gets the same treatment as the material you read.

What it actually does

The problem isn't recording. It's what happens after.

Most transcription tools stop at a wall of text. TicNote treats the transcript as a source, the same way a PDF or a dataset is a source.

120-language transcription

Chrome extension captures Google Meet, Teams and Zoom directly, no bot joins the call, no scheduling friction.

One project, every source

Meetings, PDFs and YouTube videos sit in the same workspace, so an interview and its background reading stay linked.

Claims that point back

Every generated line links to the exact moment in the source. You can check it before you cite it.

Real files, not just text

Shadow Agent turns a project into an actual report, slide deck or dashboard, not another chat reply to copy out.

300 free minutes a month

Enough to try it on a real interview or a full committee meeting before deciding whether to pay.

Built for source-heavy work

Aimed at people who attend meetings and need structured output afterward, not casual note-taking.

How it works

From recording to something you can cite

Three steps, no bot invited to the call.

  1. 1

    Record or import

    Capture a live meeting through the Chrome extension, or drop in an existing recording, a PDF or a YouTube link.

  2. 2

    Let it transcribe and organize

    TicNote transcribes the audio and files it alongside your other sources in the same project, ready to search.

  3. 3

    Generate the deliverable

    Ask Shadow Agent for a summary, a report or a slide deck built from the sources in that project, each claim traceable to its origin.

Where this fits

The interview is a source too

A researcher reading forty papers a week eventually runs into the part of the work that never arrives as text: the interview, the committee meeting, the recorded lecture. Reading efficiently means nothing if half the material is still trapped in an audio file. This is the gap TicNote is built to close, and it's a different job from summarizing a document you've already got in writing.

  • Journalists: turn a recorded interview into a searchable transcript before writing the piece
  • Consultants: capture a client call and keep it linked to the reports it informed
  • Researchers: transcribe a focus group or oral interview without re-typing it by hand

Common questions

Is this an AI transcription app or something more?
Transcription is the entry point. TicNote records or imports audio, transcribes it in 120 languages, then organizes it alongside your PDFs and video sources so you can generate reports, dashboards or slides from the combined material.
Does TicNote need a bot to join my meeting?
No. A Chrome extension captures Google Meet, Teams and Zoom directly on your side of the call, so nothing announces itself to other participants.
How much can I transcribe for free?
300 minutes a month on the free tier, which covers a handful of full interviews or committee meetings before you'd need to decide on a paid plan.
Can I trust the transcript enough to quote from it?
Every line generated from a source links back to the exact moment it came from, so you can check the original audio before you cite anything, the same discipline you'd apply to a written source.
Does it replace a tool like Aginsi for summarizing my reading?
No, and it isn't meant to. TicNote turns spoken material into text and structured files. Once that transcript exists as a document, distilling it down to what matters is a separate step, the kind Aginsi is built for.
What can it produce besides a plain transcript?
Shadow Agent can turn a project's sources into an editorial calendar, a slide deck, a dashboard or a written report, each built from what's actually in the recordings and documents you added.
Who is this actually built for?
People who attend meetings, conduct interviews or record lectures and need more than raw notes afterward: consultants, journalists, researchers and small teams producing reports from that material.
What languages does the transcription support?
120 languages, according to TicNote's own product documentation. Accuracy on less common languages is worth testing on a short recording first.
