AI meeting notes in Singapore.
Singapore's business runs on in-person meetings across four official languages — GetNotes captures the room, and the code-switching, that a call-bot can't.
Singapore does an enormous amount of business face-to-face despite being one of the most digitally connected places on earth. Regional headquarters host partners flying in for the day, board and committee meetings happen around a physical table, and a great deal gets settled over kopi at a hawker centre or in a client's office. Meeting-bot note-takers were designed for remote video calls and cannot join any of this — there is nothing to invite them to. GetNotes is built for the physical room: open a tab in your phone's browser, press record, set it down. No app to install, no bot, no laptop wall between you and the people across the table.
As a hub, Singapore is where regional teams converge, so a meeting can carry English as the working language while participants slip into Mandarin, Malay or Tamil — plus the everyday reality of Singlish, which blends English syntax with borrowed words and particles from several of those languages. Standard transcription that expects one clean language falls apart on this. GetNotes is designed for mid-sentence code-switching and handles 90+ languages, so a sentence that starts in English, borrows a Malay phrase and lands on a Mandarin term stays intelligible in the transcript.
Speaker attribution earns its keep in Singapore's meeting-heavy governance culture. Board minutes, committee decisions and partner-alignment sessions all depend on an accurate record of who moved what and who is accountable. GetNotes labels each speaker and generates structured AI minutes — decisions, action items, owners, open points — turning a long session into a document you can circulate the same day rather than a recording someone has to relitigate later.
Privacy here is governed by a clear, well-known regime, and it is worth being explicit about it. Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), overseen by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), sets out consent, notification and purpose-limitation obligations for handling personal data — and a recording that identifies people is personal data. This is general information, not legal advice: the straightforward, PDPA-aligned practice is to notify participants that you are recording, state the purpose, obtain their consent before starting, and use the recording only for that purpose. GetNotes stores recordings and transcripts privately to your account and gives you a permanent delete, so you can keep retention tight.
Your first meeting on GetNotes is free — test it on a real partner meeting or a hawker-centre catch-up — and Pro is $19/month for unlimited meetings once it is embedded in how your team works. In a city where relationships are still built and deals still closed in person, GetNotes captures the meeting that actually happened in the room, in all the languages it happened in.
Where it earns its keep
Regional partner meeting at a Singapore HQ
A country manager hosts partners flown in from across Southeast Asia to align on next year's plan. The working language is English, but sidebars slip into Mandarin and Malay and the room speaks fast. There is no video call to record. The manager records from a phone browser after flagging it to the room, and GetNotes returns a speaker-labelled transcript and minutes capturing each market's commitments and owners.
Board or committee meeting around the table
A non-profit's board meets in person to approve a budget and a new policy. Accurate minutes are a governance requirement, and someone usually loses an evening writing them. Instead the secretary records the session, and GetNotes produces attributed minutes — motions, who proposed and seconded, decisions and action items — that become the draft record, reviewed rather than written from scratch.
Client catch-up over kopi at a hawker centre
A consultant meets a long-standing client for a mid-project review over coffee. It is informal, in Singlish and English, and completely off any call platform. With a quick heads-up, the consultant records from their phone, and GetNotes handles the Singlish, delivering a clean summary of the client's feedback and the agreed next milestones before the consultant is back at their desk.
How GetNotes works
- Record or upload. Hit record on your phone or laptop in the room — or drop in an audio file you already have. No bot joins anything.
- It writes it down. Every word transcribed, every speaker labelled, in 90+ languages including ones that switch mid-sentence.
- Share the minutes.Summary, decisions, and action items with owners — ready before everyone's back at their desk.
Questions, answered
Which data-protection law applies to my recordings in Singapore?
Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA), overseen by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), governs personal data, and an identifiable voice recording is personal data under it. This is general information, not legal advice. The PDPA-aligned habit is to notify participants that you're recording, state the purpose, get their consent before you start, and use the recording only for that stated purpose. GetNotes keeps recordings private to your account and lets you delete any meeting permanently.
Does it cope with Singlish and switching between English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil?
Yes. GetNotes is built for mid-sentence code-switching and supports 90+ languages, so a sentence that mixes English with Mandarin, Malay or Tamil terms — or runs in Singlish — stays coherent in the transcript rather than being flattened into one language.
My meeting is in person with no video link — can I still use it?
Yes, and that is the whole point of GetNotes. Bot-based note-takers need a call to join; an in-person meeting doesn't have one. GetNotes runs in your phone browser so you record the room directly — no app, no bot, no meeting link needed.
How much is it, and is there a free option?
Your first meeting is free with no card required. Pro is $19/month (billed in USD, roughly S$26 at current rates) for unlimited meetings.
