Notta is launching Memo Pro, a small handheld recorder designed to capture meetings, phone calls and face-to-face conversations. It has a built-in colour screen that shows whether it's recording, how long it has been running and how much battery is left, so users can check everything at a glance without reaching for their phone.
One of its main features is the ability to switch automatically between recording phone calls and conversations happening in the room. This makes it easier to keep recording when moving from a phone meeting to an in-person discussion, without having to change the settings manually.
Memo Pro connects to a computer using a standard USB-C cable, which can also be used to transfer recordings. It has 64GB of built-in storage and can record for up to 50 hours on a single charge. US preorders are now open, with shipping expected in December 2026. The device is priced at $189.
At $189, Memo Pro opens dedicated recording hardware to buyers who do not want phone-led file transfers. U.S. preorder availability keeps the initial rollout tightly defined.
