The concept

After a meeting, what was said ends up split between a recording, scribbled notes and memory. WordHeld keeps the recording and the notes together, so you can check exactly what was said before acting on a summary.

What Novasoft built

Record or import audio on Windows and WordHeld transcribes it on your computer after a one-time download. You get an editable transcript, summary, notes and next steps, each linked to the exact moment in the audio.

NovaSoft Orbit and Emi

Emi, WordHeld’s search assistant, finds the right moment across all your saved conversations. The mind map gives you another way to jump to any topic in the transcript.

Current status

WordHeld is an early Windows prototype with no public download. Recordings and notes stay on your computer, with no cloud sync. Current Windows libraries protect stored recordings and notes, though older copies and exports still need care. WordHeld is not clinically validated, so think carefully before using it for sensitive material.
