Clova Note

What is Clova Note?

Clova Note is a voice-recording service from Naver. Record a meeting or upload an audio file, and it turns the Korean speech into text and organizes it by speaker.

• 1Turns Korean meeting recordings into text
• 2Separates speakers and generates a summary
• 3Free for individuals; business use runs on NAVER WORKS plans

What sets it apart

These are the differences we found by running the same material through several tools in our training sessions.

Same job, different approach

A two-hour executive meeting has just ended

Common uses

Who it’s for

Can we use it at work?

The questions that adoption leads and security teams ask first.

Please note: We could not confirm the monthly transcription limit or the number of AI summaries for free personal use on the official page. Check the current values in the app’s usage information. For specific standards on recording notice and consent, consult a lawyer.

10-minute quick start

1. 1

   Log in to clovanote.naver.com with your Naver account. The mobile app syncs with the same account.

2. 2

   Before the meeting starts, say "We are recording this meeting for the minutes," get consent, then turn on recording.

3. 3

   When the meeting ends, label the speakers in the transcript with names and fix any proper nouns it misheard.

4. 4

   Share only the decisions and action items with the team. Keep the long original text separately.

Copy-and-paste prompts

Replace only the [bracketed] parts, then paste it in.

To capture today's discussion accurately, I'd like to record this meeting. The recording will be used only to write the minutes, and sharing will be limited to [attendees and relevant teams]. If anyone is uncomfortable with this, please say so now.
(Note: Read this aloud before you press record, and put the same text on the first line of the minutes)

Meeting name: [Q1 2026 Training Plan Review]
Date and place: [March 4, 2 PM, 3rd-floor meeting room, HQ]
Attendees: [Team Lead Kim / Assistant Manager Park / Associate Lee]
(Tip: If you write attendee names in the note title and memo beforehand, labeling speakers by name after transcription goes much faster)

[Internal project name] / [Product codename] / [Client company name] / [Executive title and name]
(Tip: Keep a list of frequently misrecognized words here, then use find and replace to fix them in the transcript in one pass. On a business plan, add them to the custom vocabulary)

Below is the transcript of a meeting recording. Organize it into a table with three parts: ① Decided ② On hold ③ Action items (who, what, by when). Never invent anything that is not in the transcript, and mark anything unclear as 'Needs confirmation'.

Using it with other tools

Linking two or three tools changes your work more than any single tool does.

Before you start

• The moment you start recording without telling anyone, it stops being a tool problem and becomes a people problem. Give notice and get consent first.
• If you circulate the transcript without reading it, misheard proper nouns end up in the meeting minutes.
• Accuracy drops when several people talk at once or the meeting room echoes. Put the microphone in the middle of the table.
• Do not let recordings containing client names and amounts pile up in personal accounts; set a retention policy.

Pricing: personal use and work use

Plans that individuals pay for are different from plans that organizations contract for by member.

Checked 21 Sep 2026 · Business prices are per-user amounts in KRW, as shown on the official Naver Works pricing page.

Where Clova Note falls short

We don’t just list the positives. Here is what fell short when we used it.

• You can’t see how much of your quota is left

  The free personal plan doesn’t state its monthly transcription limit in numbers, so you have to tap usage status in the app to estimate what’s left. If it cuts you off during a week packed with meetings, your schedule slips.

• Even verbal tics are transcribed as spoken

  It transcribes what it hears, so fillers like “um…” and repeated verbal tics stay in. Every time, you need extra time to polish the sentences before turning them into meeting minutes.

• Attendee names are added by hand

  It separates who said what, but labels speakers with numbers instead of names, so you end up adding names by hand. The more people in the meeting, the longer that cleanup takes.
