Hi Product Hunt ๐Ÿ˜บ, and thanks for the hunt Kat! After months of bug-squashing and working with our lovely beta users, we're sharing Perfect Recall for early public access. Perfect Recall lets you record and share bite-size clips from your Zoom calls. We got the idea for Perfect Recall while pivoting from our last startup. We were doing about 15 calls a week trying to figure out what to work on, and taking notes during these calls became a really tedious task. Worse, it was hard to focus on the call while simultaneously typing down notes; sometimes we lost important pieces of information forever. When I was trying to communicate leanings from my calls to my cofounder, I couldn't convey all the nuances from the conversations I had. And after while, our memories of old calls had mostly faded and we only had our rough notes to go off of. To solve our own problem, we built Perfect Recall to let us take "video notes" during Zoom calls. Here's how it works: 1. During your calls, run our desktop app and press Ctrl+Space to mark important moments. You can also write notes in our app, which are timestamped to the video recording 2. After the call ends, the recording will automatically be uploaded to our web app 3. In the web app, view the recording of your call, a transcription, and the highlights/notes you made during the call. You can also create highlights after the call. 4. Share these video highlights as bite-size snippets with anyone, anywhere. ๐Ÿ™‚ What makes us different from existing recording and transcription tools is that we focus on creating highlights during calls and make it easy to share these highlights with others. Watching through hours of calls to pick out the important points isn't very fun or practical โ˜น๏ธ so marking important points as they happen is our solution. Text notes can never really capture what actually happened, and we found that short video clips were way more fun to watch, and more expressive as well. Our beta users use Perfect Recall for customer interviews, design reviews, sales calls, UX research and so much more. We're still discovering the different ways Perfect Recall can be used. We'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this. If you want to try us out, we're currently onboarding our next batch of users at perfectrecall.app! ๐Ÿ˜บ

+1 for a great product! It's been huge being able to stay present in Zoom convos and not have to type notes or paraphrase soundbites from customers
David Gu
@zhangwins Thanks Winston!! That's exactly why we built Perfect Recall, to make it easy to take notes in your calls and share these clips later!
Amanda Zhu
@zhangwins We totally agree Winston. Taking notes sucks, especially when trying to have a conversation at the same time. And watching a snippet of the literal conversation conveys so much more information than a text paraphrase. :D
Neal Jean
Awesome product, great experience using it so far! Looking forward to being able to search and organize in more ways =]
David Gu
@neal_jean1 Thanks so much for being one of our awesome beta users! Looking forward to making the product even better for you :)
Yair Dovrat
Best thing about Perfect Recall is that I can stay focused on whatโ€™s important during the meeting. And quickly take my notes immediately after. Love this product.
David Gu
@yair_dovrat1 Thanks so much for your support Yair, and for being one of our awesome beta users from the very beginning!!

Love using PerfectRecall! The biggest benefit Iโ€™ve noticed is not having to worry about missing any points in the call, and being able to not waste any time during the call by taking notes that otherwise would slow down or distract me from guiding a call with my team or users! If you have any critical zoom calls you have info you need to retain from, would highly recommend this!
Amanda Zhu
@abhiroop_cvk Thanks for the stellar review Abhi! We love getting your feedback and having you with us as a beta user. You've nailed exactly why we built the product - to help focus during calls while still retaining all the important information that happens during. ๐Ÿ˜

Congrats on the launch! The video to text sync work really well and highlights and snippets are a great way to refer to key moments in your meeting.
Amanda Zhu
@jimmyechan Thanks Jimmy! We hate sitting through the whole meeting again so the snippets do become super useful to help remind you of the important points ๐Ÿ˜
Rahul Arora
Looks great. Congratulations on the launch :) All the best!

David Gu
@tieshunr Thank you so much for the support Tieshun and keep the great feedback coming!
Neal Jean
Super intuitive to use, no learning curve. Compared to similar-ish tools like Otter, much better sharing functionality
David Gu
@neal_jean1 Thanks Neal! We really believe that sharing is super important, and we're focusing on that!
Marc Hรถffl
We have used this a lot for our customer interviews. It really helps us to get a better understanding of our customer needs and in doubt easily go back to find the specific points they made.
David Gu
@marc_hoffl Thanks so much for the support Marc! I'm glad Perfect Recall has been helpful and I'm looking forward to making it better for you!
Dave Jeffery
I've been using this for user interviews. It's super easy for me to pull out the important stuff, save them as a highlight video. And then add the highlight to related issues on our product/issue tracker to give context to the team.
David Gu
@davej Thanks so much for the support Dave, and for being with us from the very beginning! Keep up the fantastic feedback!
Calum Moore

Iโ€™ be been using perfect recall for a while and one thing I canโ€™t live without is their transcription service for multiple languages! This is a game changer for international users.
Amanda Zhu
@beinglong Thanks for the kind review and being one of the very first beta users, Daniel! :)
Ishmael Samuel
Big fan of the makers! Can't wait to try this out
David Gu
@ishthedestroyer Thanks so much for the kind words Ishmael! Looking forward to getting you set up :)
Petr Nikolaev
Brilliant idea and execution! I'm one of those people who can't quickly make notes while talking to people so it's a perfect match for me ๐Ÿ‘
Amanda Zhu
@petr_nikolaev Thanks for the awesome feedback Petr! ๐Ÿ˜ We also can't really write and hold a conversation at the same time so we really get it. Happy to hear it solves your problem just like it solves ours!!
David Shi
We've been using Perfect Recall to recap all of our sales meetings and it has made our lives way easier! Not having to log feature requests and other notes is a lifesaver
Amanda Zhu
@david_shi Love to hear that you've been finding Perfect Recall useful David! Always happy to hear your feedback and thanks for being with us from the beginning!! ๐Ÿ˜
Halim Muhammad
This has got to be the most used remote working app after/along with zoom for my whole team! I tried a bunch of different note-taking apps like Fireflies/Otter, Perfect Recall beats them 100 to 1!! The ability to share clips and highlights is one of the best feature of this app. Our sales team love this for recording actual customer feedback.
Amanda Zhu
@haliminfinity We love to hear it Halim!! So happy to hear that you guys are finding the product useful. ๐Ÿ˜
