Polish a note with AI
Turn a rambling transcript into a clear note - in your own words, or rewritten - without adding or losing information.
Spoken thoughts are full of “uh”, restarts and asides. Polish turns them into a clear note. The AI is told only to restructure and reword - never to add or remove information - and your original transcript is always kept.
Polish a note
- While recording: tick Polish with AI on the Record page before you start. The small options button beside it sets the style for this recording.
- Any note, any time: open it and click Polish with AI (or Polish again). Pick a style and click Polish.
- Every new recording: on the AI & automation page, turn on Polish new recordings automatically. You can still switch it off for a single recording.
A polish starts from the note as it is now, your edits included. To start over from what you said instead, tick Start over from the transcript.
Styles
- Clean transcript - keeps your own words and order. Removes filler words, fixes grammar and adds paragraphs.
- Readable note - rewrites what you said as a well-written note, as if you’d written it yourself, in the layout you pick:
- Best fit - whatever presents it best: paragraphs, lists, tables or headings.
- Paragraphs - flowing text, with lists only for to-dos and plain enumerations.
- Bullet points - short points grouped by topic, with to-dos as checkboxes.
Extra instructions take anything else, like “Short sentences” or “British spelling”. Your defaults for all of these are on the AI & automation page.
Check it
AI can make mistakes. If a polish seems to have left something out - numbers that disappeared, or a note much shorter than what you said - NoteClearly warns you above the note. Compare it with the transcript, or undo the polish.
Good to know
- The note is locked while it’s being polished; it usually takes a few seconds.
- A polish costs AI credits by the note’s length - see AI credits. Very long notes (about 8,000 words or more) are too long to polish in one go; split them into several notes.
- If a polish fails, the note is unchanged. The message says why - for example that this month’s AI credits are used up.
