Boat Note → About → Auto Transcription

Boat reads your audio, video, and photo text - making every capture fully searchable.

Boat can read spoken and written content in your media attachments, turning recordings and photos into searchable text. Audio transcription Runs automatically when an audio recording is uploaded. The transcript is stored permanently with the recording and becomes searchable across your notes - useful for meeting recordings and voice memos. Video transcription Works on demand. Tap the sparkles icon on a video attachment to request transcription of its audio track. Useful for lecture captures, interviews, and screen recordings with narration. Photo text extraction (OCR) Reads printed or handwritten text visible in a photo. Part of Image Analysis, which also generates a plain-language description of the image. Both audio and video transcription and OCR use credits. Results are stored permanently - you pay once per file.
