Auto-Generated Summary
Data residency matters. Most meeting tools store conversations on US servers. Under the CLOUD Act, that data is accessible to US authorities. TakeNote keeps every word on UK soil.
Most transcription tools process and store meeting data on US servers. Under the CLOUD Act, that data is accessible to US authorities. For FCA-regulated firms, that's not a risk — it's a liability.
Generic AI note-takers were built for sales teams and startups. FCA suitability notes, MiFID II retention, vulnerable customer flags — these were bolted on, not built in.
Generic tools offer podcast transcription and recruiting templates. What they don't offer: FCA suitability note structure, vulnerable customer flagging, or MiFID II retention — the things regulated firms actually need.
Core Features
Every feature designed around compliance requirements, not retrofitted onto a generic tool.
All client meeting data stays within the UK on Microsoft Azure UK South. Zero data transfer outside UK borders.
Benchmark-proven accuracy on the Artificial Analysis AA-WER. Best-in-class performance across 43 languages.
Works with background noise and overlapping speech. Designed for noisy office environments and open plan spaces.
Auto-generates audit-proof records structured to support FCA suitability and record-keeping requirements. Built for regulated advisers.
Saves advisers 45 minutes per meeting. Automated summary generation reduces manual documentation.
Your data is never used for training our transcription models or any purpose outside your business requirements.
