Record candidate interviews without a bot in the call.
Sonarnote captures interviews directly from your desktop, so no AI notetaker joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams meeting. You stay in the conversation, the candidate stays comfortable, and your team still gets a speaker-labeled transcript and searchable notes.
Hit record, talk to the candidate, get a transcript.
Three steps. Zero bots. The desktop recorder does the capture, the workspace does the rest after the call ends.
Hit record on your desktop
Open the Sonarnote app, click record, and start your call as normal. Audio is captured locally on your machine.
Talk to the candidate, not the bot
Nothing joins your Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or phone call. The candidate sees only you.
Get a speaker-labeled transcript
When the call ends the recording uploads, gets transcribed with speakers labeled, and produces searchable notes and a scorecard.

How does Sonarnote record without joining the meeting?
The desktop app captures system audio on your computer, so it records whatever you hear on the call. The call platform never sees a third participant.
Does Sonarnote work with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Because recording happens at the OS level, it is platform-agnostic. The same flow works for Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack huddles, and phone calls played through your speakers.
What about consent? Do I still need to tell the candidate?
Yes. Consent requirements depend on jurisdiction. We recommend disclosing the recording at the start of every call. Sonarnote does not remove that obligation, it just removes the bot in the middle of it.
Do you need access to my calendar?
No. Sonarnote does not require calendar access to record an interview. Calendar sync is an optional convenience for organizing recordings against jobs.
What happens to the recording after the call?
The audio uploads to your Sonarnote workspace over an encrypted channel, gets transcribed with speakers labeled, and is turned into searchable notes and a scorecard for your team.
Your next interview should be on record, not in a bot.
Download the desktop recorder, hit record before your next call, and your team gets a transcript and notes as soon as it ends.
