What Notta does
Notta is an AI transcription and voice intelligence platform combining a SaaS app with dedicated hardware (the Memo AI Recorder) to capture and summarize spoken content. The software transcribes audio and video in 58+ languages with speaker diarization, produces structured AI summaries, action items, and chapter timestamps, and pushes them into Notion, Google Docs, Slack, and Salesforce. The platform handles in-person meetings, online calls (Zoom, Teams, Meet), phone calls, and recordings uploaded after the fact.
Notta's distinguishing wedge is the Memo AI Recorder, a $149 dedicated hardware device that captures conversations in physical settings (hospital rounds, sales site visits, fieldwork, interviews) without needing a phone running an app. The hardware funnels users into Notta's higher-margin SaaS subscriptions, giving the company a unique consumer-hardware-to-software pipeline distinct from US rivals.
The platform serves over 10 million users globally with strong penetration in Japan, Southeast Asia, and increasingly the US. Common use cases span sales calls, executive interviews, healthcare encounters, qualitative research, and content creation.
Who it's for
Notta targets business professionals, sales teams, journalists, researchers, healthcare workers, and field professionals who need accurate transcription and structured summaries from spoken content. The audience skews international with a strong APAC base.
Pricing
Notta offers a free tier with limited transcription minutes, Pro at $14.99/month, Business at $27.99/user/month, and Enterprise with SSO and custom retention. The Memo AI hardware retails at $149.
Team & funding
Notta was founded in 2020 by James Jason (CEO) and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The company has raised approximately $31.8M across 3 rounds from 8 investors, including a $15M Series B (¥2.3 billion) led by Granite-Integral — a partnership between Granite Asia and Integral Corporation — with participation from GSR Ventures, Mizuho Financial Group, CDH Investments, and GL Ventures.
Position vs competitors
Notta competes with Otter.ai, Fireflies, tl;dv, Read.ai, and Rev in transcription and meeting notes, plus Plaud and Limitless on the hardware side. Its bet on combining a dedicated recorder with multilingual SaaS gives it a unique foothold in non-English markets and physical-meeting scenarios where bot-based competitors can't reach.
