The Windows app lives next to the clock, in the notification area, and if you like on the taskbar. It notices when a Teams, Zoom or Webex call starts, asks whether to record, and records your microphone together with the call’s sound, so everyone ends up in the transcript.
Install and set up
- Install Notulist from the Microsoft Store. In the web app you also find it under your name at the bottom of the sidebar, in Get the apps. The app needs Windows 10 (version 2004) or later, and the Microsoft Store keeps it up to date.
- Open Notulist and follow Set up Notulist: sign in, allow recording and choose which meeting apps Notulist detects, connect your calendar and turn on Open Notulist at login.
The meeting audio needs no permission on Windows. If Windows has switched off microphone access for apps, Notulist only hears the meeting: allow it under Windows Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone.
When a call starts
When Teams, Zoom or Webex starts using the microphone, Notulist says a meeting was detected. Check the calendar event and language, then choose Record or Not now. Let the others know you’re recording and that AI processes the recording.
When the call ends, Notulist asks: Stop recording or Keep recording. Without an answer, it stops after 15 seconds and uploads the recording, unless you turn off Stop automatically when the call ends under Settings › Detection.
If nobody has spoken for 10 minutes, or for 5 minutes while the PC isn’t being used, Notulist asks Are you still in a meeting? and stops after a minute without an answer.
Record without a call
Click the Notulist icon next to the clock and choose Record. This records your microphone and everything the PC plays. Under Settings › General you can also set a Keyboard shortcut with Ctrl, Alt or the Windows key to start or stop recording; it works in every app.
Calls in the browser
Google Meet and other calls in Chrome, Edge or Firefox are only detected if you turn on that browser under Settings › Detection › Detect calls in the browser. It’s off by default, because browsers also use the microphone for voice search and dictation. Notulist then asks once a browser has used the microphone for 10 seconds.
Good to know
- Windows hides new icons behind the arrow in the taskbar. Drag Notulist’s icon onto the taskbar, or turn on Show Notulist in the taskbar under Settings › General.
- With the lid of a laptop closed, its built-in microphone may record only silence. Choose your display’s or headset’s microphone under Settings › Audio.
- Recordings stay on your PC until uploaded. Transcripts and reports are in the web app: choose Open Notulist in the menu.
