How it works

Record a meeting. Sidebar writes it down, checks the facts and hands you the notes.

Record on your iPhone.

Speech turns into text with Apple’s on-device recognition. After a one-time download, it works offline.

What stays on your iPhone

It checks while people talk.

Sidebar spots statements a public source could confirm and checks just that sentence. Disagreements show up as a coral card.

Tips

  1. Allow the microphone and speech recognition the first time you record.
  2. Keep the iPhone near whoever is speaking. Clear audio means better checks.
  3. Offline? Checks wait and run when you’re back online.
  4. Open a meeting’s Checks tab and tap Find more claims to look again.
