Marked for you
Actions: redraft clause 14 (you, today). Review the redraft (Mei, tonight).
umm hi sarah, ah, quick one, can we move the meeting to thursday because the report isn't, wait, because the numbers aren't final yet, umm thanks
Hi Sarah,
Can we move the meeting to Thursday? The numbers aren't final yet.
Thanks.
Where did we land on clause 14?
You agreed to redraft clause 14 on 28 August, and Mei reviewed it that evening. The revised wording went to the client the next morning.
Board meetings, client sit-downs, interviews.
Open your laptop and Softspoken takes the minutes: who said what, what was decided, who owes what by when. No phone in the middle of the table, and nothing recorded ever leaves the room.
Boardroom, 9:04 am
Zoom and Teams, with nothing in the participant list.
Video call, 11:30 am
Can we bring the launch forward a week?
Only if the audit closes first.
Decision: the launch moves only when the audit closes. Ask again Friday.
Softspoken listens from your computer, so no bot joins the call and no recording is uploaded. Notes and actions are ready before you are back at your desk.
Three times faster than typing.
Hold a key and talk, in any app. Speech runs about 150 words a minute against 40 typed, so an hour of typing becomes twenty minutes of talking. The words land at your cursor, in your own voice.
Dictated into an email

Grounded answers from your own meeting library, with every claim linked to the meeting it came from. The search runs on your computer; only the lines that matter are sent for the answer, and only when you ask.
MCP support connects your meeting library to Claude and the other MCP-capable tools you already use. Ask about your meetings from anywhere you work, while the library itself never leaves your machine.
Recording and on-device transcription happen on the machine in front of you. There is no upload, no vendor holding your meetings, and nothing to leak.
