What Are the Best AI Note-Taker Apps in 2026?

📄 apps/web/content/articles/best-ai-notetaker.mdx

The article is well-structured and informative overall. Main issues include: em dashes that need to be converted to regular dashes per style rules (appearing in lines 37, 65), several instances of missing or incorrect punctuation (especially period placement and comma splices), awkward phrasing that reduces clarity in several places, and minor formatting inconsistencies in section headers. The content is thorough and provides valuable comparisons between AI note-taking tools, but these technical corrections will improve readability and consistency.

Found 15 issues:

🔹 Punctuation Placement

Line 18

Until.. AI came in the picture.

Double periods (..) is incorrect punctuation. Should be a single period or rewrite the phrase to 'Until AI entered the picture.'

📋 Suggested fix (click to expand)

Until AI came into the picture.

Line 71

Full disclosure, I am Hyprnote's founder.

Comma incorrectly separates an introductory phrase from the main clause. A colon or dash would be more appropriate.

Full disclosure: I am Hyprnote's founder.

Line 112

Consider upgrading to Pro ($8/month or $59/year, save 65%) when you want cloud services included without managing API keys

Missing period at end of sentence. Also, the phrase 'save 65%' is awkwardly placed; consider using a dash for clarity.

Line 183

No permanent free tier after the 25-meeting trial period

Missing period at end of bullet point.

📋 Suggested fix (click to expand)

No permanent free tier after the 25-meeting trial period.

Line 299

$10/month (must pay $120 annually). 14-day free trial.

Inconsistent punctuation. Both statements should either end with periods or neither should.

$10/month (must pay $120 annually). 14-day free trial

🔸 Em Dashes

Line 47

An AI note taker uses artificial intelligence to help you capture, organize, and make sense of information. At its core, it applies large language models to turn raw input—whether that's typed notes, voice recordings, or transcribed conversations—into something actually useful.

Em dashes (—) should be replaced with regular dashes (-) per style rules

That's why Hyprnote exists. It runs on your device by default (local-first)—Whisper models for transcription, our custom HyperLLM-V1 for summarization.

📝 Grammar

Line 61

Tools like Notion and Obsidian weren't built for meetings, they're for personal knowledge management (PKM), kind of like a second brain.

Comma splice. Should use a semicolon to separate two independent clauses.

📋 Suggested fix (click to expand)

Line 195

The catch? The AI is bolted on, not built in.

Question mark after 'catch' creates awkward phrasing. Use 'is that' for proper grammar.

📋 Suggested fix (click to expand)

The catch is that the AI is bolted on, not built in.

💡 Clarity

Line 118

I'm obsessed with Obsidian. Their file over app manifesto hits home.

The phrase 'file over app' should be in quotation marks rather than as a hyperlink separated from the text flow. Using quotes maintains readability.

I'm obsessed with [Obsidian](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://obsidian.md/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1768759307556808&usg=AOvVaw3iVOX-hmrHgHJ6pcIa6TfH). Their 'file over app' manifesto hits home.

Line 122

The problem? You're building a system, not using an app. Every feature needs a plugin, documentation, setup. I've spent weekends tweaking themes instead of writing.

The question mark after 'problem' creates awkward phrasing. Rewrite with 'is that' for clarity. Also, 'documentation, setup' needs parallel structure with 'and' before setup.

Granola is an AI-powered notepad designed for people who prefer taking their own notes but want intelligent assistance to make them comprehensive.

Using 'them' is ambiguous. Change to 'those notes' for clarity.

📋 Suggested fix (click to expand)

[Granola](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.granola.ai/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1768759307559871&usg=AOvVaw3Ys71lW9lb82dHCgYguOEj) is an AI-powered notepad designed for people who prefer taking their own notes but want intelligent assistance to make those notes comprehensive.

Line 193

Notion, an all-in-one workspace tool, now has AI.

Awkward appositive structure. Rewrite for clarity.

[Notion](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.notion.com/product/ai&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1768759307562073&usg=AOvVaw3xCK0DnPNr8VfeqsUU-3ag) is an all-in-one workspace tool that now has AI.

Line 268

Reflect is a daily notes app with backlinks and AI bolted on.

Phrase 'bolted on' is informal and repetitive (used earlier in the article). Replace with 'integrated' for better consistency and formality.

Double space after '8.' is inconsistent with other section headers. Also, use 'Mem.ai' (the actual product name) instead of 'Mem AI'.
