What is the Voice Memo Island / Live Recorder?

The Voice Memo Island is M1’s built-in voice recorder designed for in-person meetings, voice notes, or any spoken notes you want to capture outside of phone calls. With just a tap, you can start recording, and M1 will handle everything from high-accuracy transcription to generating an AI-powered summary with key points and action items.


Why use the Voice Memo Island?

  • Capture in-person conversations: Never miss important details from meetings, interviews, or spontaneous discussions.

  • Stay present: Focus on the conversation—M1 handles the note-taking.

  • Everything in one place: Keep your call logs and in-person memos all in your M1 inbox.

  • Easy sharing: Share summaries via secure link, email, or copy text directly.


How to start a voice memo?

  1. Open the M1 app

  2. On the main screen, locate the red floating button labeled Voice Memo Island (it may appear as a red dot)

  3. Tap the red button to start recording

  4. A timer will appear to indicate the recording is active

  5. When finished, tap the red button again to stop

Once the recording ends, M1 will automatically transcribe and summarize the memo for you.

Can I share my voice memos?

Yes! You can share transcripts and summaries via:

  • Secure link

  • Email

  • (Soon) Slack and other integrations

This makes it easy to keep teammates or collaborators aligned—even if they couldn’t attend the meeting.


What if I forget to record at the beginning of a meeting?

No worries. Start recording as soon as you remember—M1 will begin from that point and still provide a transcript and summary of what was captured.


Can I disable the floating button?

Yes. If the floating Voice Memo Island button is distracting, you can remove it:

  • Go to the Settings tab in the M1 app

  • Scroll down to the "Customize" section

  • Toggle off Voice Memo Island


Can I use this feature on the go?

Absolutely! Whether you’re in a café, the office, or on the move, M1 is built to work wherever you are. Just open the app, tap the button, and start recording.
