It's official. VidNotes for Android is live on Google Play. Android users get the full VidNotes experience now. AI transcription, summaries, flashcards, action items, and chat with citations, in a native app built for their device.
With this launch, VidNotes runs on every major platform: iOS, Android, web app, and Chrome extension. One subscription covers all of them.
What You Get in VidNotes for Android
Every feature that made VidNotes the go-to AI video transcription app on iOS and web is on Android too:
- Paste any video link. YouTube, Instagram Reels, IGTV, TikTok, Vimeo, and more
- Upload local files from your phone, gallery, or any Android share sheet
- AI transcription using OpenAI Whisper in 30+ languages, with automatic language detection
- AI summary of any video, in the same language as the content
- AI chat with citations. Ask questions about a video and get answers tied to specific timestamps
- Auto-generated flashcards for studying and spaced repetition
- Action items pulled from meetings, webinars, and tutorials
- Export to PDF, TXT, or Markdown
- Cross-device sync with your VidNotes account. Start on Android, finish on web
Why We Built It Native
We could have left Android users on the web app. It works. It's responsive. But "works" isn't enough. Android deserves a proper experience:
- Android share sheet integration. Send videos straight from YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok with one tap
- Material Design. Feels right on the platform
- Offline access to previously transcribed content
- Push notifications when a long transcription is done
- Background processing so you can keep using your phone while VidNotes works
- Native file picker for clean video imports
The app is built to feel at home on your phone, not like a ported iOS app.
