ClearText vs Noted

ClearText has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Noted records audio and links timestamped notes to recordings for lectures, meetings, interviews, and conferences. Live transcription displays speech as it happens and labels speakers. Noted+ can summarize key points, decisions, and action items, with each plan allowing up to 100 summaries a month. Ask AI can answer questions about recordings and notes and jump to relevant audio, but requires a supported Apple device with Apple Intelligence enabled. Intelligent Playback detects and skips background noise and silence. Notes sync through iCloud; third-party cloud services can import files but do not sync notes between devices. The app can use the Apple calendar for reminders linked to notes. Notes can be exported as PDF or plain text, audio as M4A, and notes can be shared with non-users by web link. Noted is available on iOS and macOS and supports offline access. The free download is listed at free. Noted+ Monthly costs $9.99 a month and has no trial; a seven-day trial is listed for the yearly plan, whose price is not provided. The maker says it cannot access created content or imported files, while text or generated transcriptions are sent to Google Gemini for AI summaries.
