• Transcription: Captures speech and converts it into text; supports many languages (112 supported).
• Summarization & extraction: After transcription, the system identifies key information, action items, decisions, and generates usable summaries.

It features dual recording modes: for phone calls and for in-person meetings. For example, one-press recording for calls, high-capacity storage (64GB), long standby, and dedicated hardware.
