Record, import or write
Use a microphone, add an audio file, or type and paste a transcript. Recording includes pause, resume and microphone selection.
AI & features
Capture the words.
Work with the ideas.
Local speech recognition gets the conversation into text. Optional Personal AI helps you draft, ask and map. Your transcript stays close throughout.
The AI connection
Start with your transcript.
Choose where AI helps.
Current Windows Personal AI features use your own OpenAI API key. Connect with Use my key in the app, then choose an AI action. Each request asks before sending text.
Speech AI on your device
Download a speech model once, then transcribe offline. Read and correct the words before creating notes or asking questions.
Draft, ask or map
Choose optional Personal AI or work locally with editable notes, summaries, next steps, maps and library search.
Know what is being sent.
Personal AI sends transcript text and the request or selected format to OpenAI after confirmation. These requests do not send the recording. API usage may incur charges. Clinical conversations cannot use cloud AI. The shared WordHeld AI service and subscriptions are not live yet.
Draft with AI
A first draft.
A better starting point.
Choose a note format, confirm the request and let AI propose a draft from your Personal transcript. The result opens in its own review window.
- Read the source while you editSwitch between Draft and Transcript without losing changes.
- Use it when it is readyYour existing note stays unchanged until you choose Use this draft.
- Pick it up laterSwitch conversations while drafting. Return to AI draft ready, and reopen saved preview edits after a restart.
AI can miss or misstate details. Check the draft against the transcript before using it.
Ask AI · Emi
Go back to a conversation.
Get a fresh perspective.
In Search & ask, choose Ask AI to ask about the current Personal transcript. Explore an agreement, a loose end or a point you want to revisit.
The answer stays separate from your notes. Check it against the transcript; if the source changes while an answer is being made, WordHeld discards that answer.
Search library is a different, local option: find matching passages across saved conversations without sending them to AI.
Generate with AI
Turn a long conversation
into a map you can shape.
Choose a template and topic limit for a Personal AI map proposal. Review the proposed changes before applying them, then keep editing the graph yourself.
Move ideas around
Add and drag topics, edit full labels and connections, and use Fit map or Actual size to navigate.
Check the evidence
Topic details show supporting transcript passages. View passage opens the original words; older source references are flagged when the transcript changes.
Preserve your work
Your saved map stays available during generation. Manual edits are protected, and an unsuccessful request keeps the existing map.
New in the Windows preview
Meet Studio.
Find your Focus.
Transcript, Mind map and Notes share one native workspace. Studio gives you a light violet view; Focus brings charcoal, sage and cream to the same tools.
A quieter library
Find, rename and pin conversations. See when a transcript is ready, a note needs refresh or an AI draft is ready to review.
Room for your words
The workspace adapts to smaller windows, keeping the document readable and moving topic details into Topic tools when needed.
More than a note
Use editable summaries, next-step checklists, reusable templates, earlier versions and readable text exports.
Follow the source
Keep the original
within reach.
Play a selected transcript passage when source timing is available, browse Audio moments and label speakers. Recognition times stay tied to the original words; edited passages are not presented as an exact audio match.
Clinical notes use a separate local workflow. Check each note part against the transcript and audio before marking it reviewed. Changes to the source or note return it to Draft.
Cloud AI is unavailable in Clinical conversations. WordHeld is not clinically validated; use sample data for Clinical evaluation.
