【Hardcore Gadget Geek's Review】Notta Memo Pro Review: Out Oct 13, JPY 29,700, 64GB in a 3.9mm Card, With Automatic Mode Switching and Sync
The Notta Memo Pro is an AI voice recorder shaped like a card 3.9mm thick. It went on sale Oct 13, 2026 at JPY 29,700 (tax included). Compared with the Notta Memo, storage doubles to 64GB, and recording-mode switching and data sync are now automatic.
Key points
- Release date: Oct 13, 2026 (preorders from Sep 28). JPY 29,700 tax included
- A 77.2×56×3.9mm card with a 0.95-inch AMOLED color screen and 64GB (the old model had 32GB)
- Detects phone and face-to-face recording on its own. Syncs over trusted Wi-Fi. One button marks an important remark
[Released Oct 13, 2026] Notta Memo Pro
The Notta Memo Pro is a thin card recorder that cuts the work after recording
After you record a meeting, transferring and organizing the data gets put off. Soon recordings pile up and you stop going back to them. The Notta Memo Pro is a new model built to cut that work.
It is a card 3.9mm thick, with the body and software rebuilt from the earlier Notta Memo.
As an IT consultant (SE), I read the footnote before the headline number. Automatic sync comes with a note: it needs prior setup and a connection to the same trusted Wi-Fi network.
How I judged it
First, what changed from the old model. The screen goes from monochrome to a 0.95-inch AMOLED color display, storage from 32GB to 64GB, and recording mode from manual to automatic detection.
Next, sync. Record outside, return to a trusted Wi-Fi network at the office or home, and just set it down: the data syncs to Notta by itself. You do not need to open the app.
If you can't decide, take the Notta Memo Pro. The reason: for JPY 29,700 there is less manual work from recording to sync, and 64GB leaves room to spare.

When did the Notta Memo Pro come out? Price and specs
| Item | Notta Memo Pro |
|---|---|
| Release date | Oct 13, 2026 (preorders from Sep 28) |
| Price (tax incl.) | JPY 29,700 |
| Size | 77.2 × 56 × 3.9mm |
| Screen | 0.95-inch AMOLED color |
| Storage | 64GB |
| Connection and transfer | USB-C, Web USB, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi |
| Sold at | Notta official EC store, Amazon, Rakuten Ichiba |

How does it differ from the old Notta Memo?
| Item | Notta Memo | Notta Memo Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Screen | Monochrome | 0.95-inch AMOLED color |
| Storage | 32GB | 64GB (double) |
| Recording mode | Switched by hand | Detects phone and face-to-face automatically |
| Sync | Open the app and transfer by hand | Automatic over trusted Wi-Fi |
| Cable | Dedicated magnetic cable | Your usual USB-C |
| Key remarks | Listen back after recording | Mark with a button, then auto-highlighted after transcription |
The difference lies less in recording itself than in what happens after. The less you are in the habit of transferring after meetings, the more automatic sync helps.
Strengths and things to note
Strengths
Little work. Automatic mode detection and Wi-Fi sync bring it close to "just record".
Thin, with room to spare. A 3.9mm card, with storage doubled over the old model to 64GB.
Things to note
At JPY 29,700 it costs more than other AI recorders from the same period. Automatic sync needs prior setup and a trusted Wi-Fi network. Get the other person's consent before recording.
Who is it for?
People who use recordings of business talks and meetings every week. People who tend to put off data transfer. It also suits anyone who wants to share recordings with a team.
If everyday recording is the focus and you want to keep the price down, the JPY 19,800 iFLYTEK P1 is another way to choose.
Price and where to buy
JPY 29,700 tax included, sold at Notta's official Rakuten store and others. Over a year, that is about JPY 81 a day (29,700 ÷ 365).
If you can't decide, take the Notta Memo Pro. The reason: transfer and organizing after recording become automatic, and 64GB leaves room to spare.
