Summary

Capacity: Moderate

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.

One complete client file, built as you work

Conversations, documents, and provider forms — captured, structured for the FCA, and filed against the right client automatically.

Every conversation, on the file

Record in person or online and get a speaker-labelled transcript with an FCA-structured suitability note, vulnerable customer flags, and the follow-up actions you agreed — filed against the client automatically.

Every document, read for you

Upload the pension statements, policy schedules, and fact-finds a client has already sent you. TakeNote reads them, pulls out the values that matter, and raises the follow-up tasks against their record.

Every form, filled and signed

Provider application forms are pre-filled from the client record you've already built, sent for e-signature, and filed back against the client when they come in. No re-keying, no chasing.

The Technology Behind TakeNote

Transcription accuracy that regulated advice demands

The TakeNote Transcription Engine combines best-in-class speech recognition with domain-tuned vocabulary for financial advice — delivering near-human accuracy at real-time speeds on enterprise-grade infrastructure.

3.0%
Word Error Rate

Lowest Word Error Rate against competitive speech-to-text models. On FLEURS (43 languages), it outperforms Scribe v2, Whisper-large-V3, GPT-Transcribe, and Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite.

69x
Real-time Speed

Fastest high-accuracy model on Word Error Rate benchmark

43
Languages Supported

Including English, French, Arabic, and Japanese

Purpose-tuned
Financial vocabulary

Built for wealth management conversations

Fastest in its class

The TakeNote engine processes 69 seconds of audio per second — delivering meeting transcripts in minutes, not hours. Your compliance summary is ready before the client has left the building.

Enterprise-grade reliability

Built on speech models trusted across enterprise deployments worldwide and refined for the demands of regulated advice. The same calibre of technology relied on by Fortune 500 organisations.

Multilingual by default

Supports 43 languages with robust handling of accents, dialects, and regional speech patterns — essential for advisory firms serving diverse client bases across the UK.

Purpose-tuned for financial advice

TakeNote layers domain-specific vocabulary training on top of our base transcription model. It understands ISAs, SIPPs, drawdown, DFMs, capacity for loss, and attitude to risk.

Benchmark-proven accuracy

The TakeNote engine achieves a 3.0% word error rate on the Artificial Analysis AA-WER benchmark, ranking among the top performers globally — and first among models operating at real-time speed. It also delivers the lowest average WER across 43 languages on the FLEURS benchmark.

Enterprise-cloud infrastructure

Hosted on enterprise cloud infrastructure with UK data centre availability, giving TakeNote the security and scalability that compliance teams require — on infrastructure you already trust.

Overall average word error rate across 43 languages (FLEURS)

Lower is better. The TakeNote engine achieves the lowest average WER across all 43 supported languages.
