Gemini Notebook adds built-in recording on Android and iOS
Gemini Notebook has launched a built-in recording feature on Android and iOS. Users can record lectures or jot down ideas via the microphone icon at the bottom, and the recording files are saved directly alongside source notes, making it easy to converse with, cite, and edit them at any time. Starting a recording from the home page creates a new notebook, while starting from the Sources tab saves it to an existing notebook. The feature was first announced in September and is now widely rolling out; in addition, tapping the "Create New" floating button now directly creates a new notebook instead of bringing up the "Add a source" panel.
