A field notes app you can talk to
On a site visit, a trail, a dig — speak the observation while your hands are full. Notabe transcribes it on-device, tags it, and keeps it searchable back at the desk.
Record observations without stopping
In the field, writing means stopping — putting down the sample, the tool, the camera. Speaking does not. Notabe lets you narrate an observation as it happens and turns it into a note, with on-device transcription that works whether or not you have a signal. The idea is captured before conditions change.
Tagged and timestamped for you
A day of observations is only useful if it is organized. Notabe auto-titles each note and applies tags, so a run of field notes sorts itself by subject and site without a filing step. When an observation runs long, a short summary gives you the gist at a glance.
Searchable back at the desk
Fieldwork pays off in analysis, and that is a search problem. Semantic search finds notes by meaning, so "the erosion near the north ridge" surfaces the right observation, and the Graph links related notes across visits. Capture on iPhone, review on iPad. Free to start; Pro adds search and the Graph.
Frequently asked
Does Notabe work when I have no signal?
Capture and transcription happen on-device, so you can speak an observation with no connection at all — nothing needs to upload for a note to be written and titled. Sync and AI search catch up when you are back online.
Can I capture observations hands-free in the field?
Yes. Speaking is the whole point — you can record an observation while your hands are busy with a sample, a camera, or the terrain, and Notabe writes it down and files it for you.
