4,9/5 sur l'App Store
TapeACall captures a call by merging it with a recording line, so you answer, open the app, dial and tap Merge Calls. VoxNote is the TapeACall alternative with no merge: incoming calls on your existing number are transcribed on their own through call forwarding, and you get a summary, the full transcript and a follow-up email draft after each call.

In the 1 and 2 star TapeACall reviews we read on the App Store in November 2026, a common complaint is the routine on every call: answer, put the caller on hold, dial the recording line, then merge. With VoxNote, incoming calls reach VoxNote through call forwarding, and you dial outgoing calls from the VoxNote app. There is nothing to tap during the call.
Billing is the biggest theme in those reviews: price increases, weekly plans and trouble cancelling. VoxNote's prices are on its website before you sign up: from $13.33 a month billed yearly ($159.99), or $16.99 monthly, with a 7-day free trial.
Some reviewers say a call didn't record or stopped partway, and they only found out afterwards. VoxNote has no merge step: the call reaches VoxNote through call forwarding, and you get a summary, the full transcript and a follow-up email draft, also in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Meta Muse.
VoxNote takes 5 minutes to set up through the App Store and can be ready before your next phone call.
Yes. VoxNote doesn't merge calls. Incoming calls reach VoxNote through call forwarding on your own number, so there's no hold, no merge and nothing to tap during the call. For outgoing calls, you dial from the VoxNote app.

TapeACall needs your carrier to support 3-way calling, and its App Store listing says SimpleTalk and H2o Wireless don't offer it in the U.S. Its automatic call recording works only in the U.S., according to its help center. VoxNote doesn't use 3-way calling: it works through call forwarding.
