Wispr Launches AI Meeting Notetaker, Expanding Beyond Its $81 Million Dictation Business

Summary
Wispr’s new Notetaker records meetings with one click, shows a live speaker-labeled transcript, answers “what did I miss?” during calls, and produces post-meeting summaries with decisions, dates and next steps.
The tool aims to beat crowded rivals such as Otter, Granola and Fireflies by using Wispr Flow’s personal dictionary plus calendar and participant context to improve transcription accuracy and final summaries.
Local audio capture lets Notetaker transcribe video calls, phone calls and in-person meetings without a visible bot, but Wispr said users must disclose recording themselves and automated consent messaging is coming in weeks.
Privacy scrutiny remains central because Otter and Granola face separate California lawsuits; Wispr said it does not train models on customer data without consent, does not create voiceprints, and deletes encrypted audio after a limited period.
Notetaker is Wispr’s first product beyond its 2021-launched dictation app, is available now in the macOS version for free and paid users, and Windows support is coming soon.
