AI integration has arrived on Android smartphones in a big way. Earlier this year, Samsung showcased its comprehensive Galaxy AI suite which included features like live translation, photo assist, generative photo editing, and more. The newly-launched Google Pixel 9 series raises the bar further, with an enhanced Magic Editor and a range of on-device AI functions. With Apple Intelligence lurking in the distance, Google was quick to jump aboard the live transcription and call summary ship. Here’s how you can use the ‘Call Notes’ feature to generate call transcripts and summaries on your Google Pixel 9.

What are ‘Call Notes’ on Google Pixel 9?
As the name suggests, Call Notes are quite simply the notes that supplement your phone calls. These notes contain the contents of the call in a concise and summarised manner. This eliminates the need to reach for a pen and paper to scribble the important details or take a message from the person on the other end of the call. On your Google Pixel 9 smartphone, you can create a summarised transcription with just a couple of taps.
Our favourite thing about Call Notes is how seamlessly it is integrated into the Pixel’s software. You can easily access it from the in-call menu. Once the call is over, the full transcription and summary can be found beside its entry in the call log. This is an intelligent way to go about things as it keeps all the information in one place. You don’t need to move to a different app (like Notes) and figure out which call the transcript belongs to.

Step 1: Make a call using your Google Pixel 9.
