Recording a long phone call, did a great job of identifying the two speakers, transcribing, and summary. Recorded a presentation to a Board meeting, again very good summary.
one thing i was hoping for is for me to reassign a speaker and than all the following or subsequent people would be changed - but that doesn’t seem to happen. As an example if i change [Person 1] to Jason - the next point still lists [Person 1] and there’s no way i can go through each conversation and correctly tag everyone. Once I change [Person 1] to Jason - the system should automatically change all [Person 1] in that conversation to Jason.

Hey @kp1 when you rename a Speaker X all instances of those speakers are already renamed if that’s something you are not seeing please gimme a message! I’ll check it out for you. Ideally what’s happening is the ai must have labeled the segment as a different speaker

My primary use is for Work meetings (zoom calls), and I am comparing meeting summaries from Notion, Granola and Pocket and so far Pocket is coming in at #3 in that list. I am still going to give it some time cause i think Pocket has the advantage of also using it for whiteboard sessions and in-person meetings (and I am rooting for the device!), but few things need to really improve:
- The transcription itself is buggy, it is not going a great job in identifying different speakers and when transitions happen. I have limited time to manually correct the transcription each time.
- The summaries have 10s of options, but i just want “Auto-detect” or “Auto-pilot” to work, pick the most suitable theme and give me a good summary (vs everytime I have regenerate and it seems like an experiment).
- The summaries are not yet at quality where I can share with others (Granola and Notion do a better job at generating these summaries so far).

I’ve been using Notion for meetings for several months. I’ve found it has speaker identification issues for me. While it does recognize that there are different speakers, it has a weird habit in one-on-one meetings (my most common use) of reversing them. Honestly, I think speaker identification is a weak area in every AI transcription system I’ve tried. I, too, am rooting for Pocket to continue to improve in this area.
There’s a least one thread floating around on the best model/summary combinations. If you haven’t read it, you might want to.

If you find this would you link to it here?
I just searched for “which model” and found these:

I have the same issue with my company name. Pocket always spells it incorrectly. I have tried to change this in different ways but it always reverts
You can manage this in Settings > Summary > Word Dictionary
Awesome, I’m doing this now. Thankyou. This was frustrating.
I do that same thing about making notes. Forget to make them.
I’m glad to see you say it has helped you.
I haven’t tried this yet. This is my first day with this new thing! It was a birthday present from my husband. I had mentioned that I thought it would be good to record my Bible classes and transcribe the notes for me. I’m hoping this will work the way I think it will. I’m anxious to try it out tomorrow.

I just started using my pocket today. A lot of it was testing. I had brunch with two friends, and they helped me test how well it could distinguish each one of us in the conversation, but also how well it would work in a crowded business. It passed with flying colors. I did not read all the transcription, but what I read was surprisingly good, in my opinion. It did not have names for the speakers, but it consistently numbered them. I started talking to Ask Pocket and was pretty thrilled with the results. It is hard for me to stop using it now and go to bed. I am very excited about the possibilities.

I use it for recording workshops I conduct but I also carry it when traveling for myself to record my thoughts and activities which I then paste into my Apple Journal with photos I have taken on the day. I find it ensures that I have time for my entries while I walk or experience new sights and sounds. It works well for my facilitated sessions too but it is nice to maximize the value by using it to record my travels.

For those of us in the corporate and consulting environment, Pocket is especially useful in bridging the gap between more structured online meetings/engagements supported by enterprise solutions like Teams/Copilot, and less structured in-person meetings/engagements not supported by those systems, like briefings/scrums/retro’s/brainstorming sessions.
It also plugs the gap for engagements where your own enterprise solutions can’t reach, like 3rd party and offsite in-person interactions with consultants, vendors or customers. That includes lectures or symposia, where you need to capture long-form content while also actively participating in the exchange.
But Pocket is not the entire solution, it can be a significant part of an ecosystem of information management - it’s most obvious utility is to replace note-taking, which is slow and distracting.
