Simeji to add meeting-minutes feature to PC AI voice input in November 2026

Simeji PC AI Voice Input is an extension of an app that Baidu Japan says has 18 years of Japanese input know-how behind it, and that history is the pitch: the service handles homophones, katakana words, Gen Z slang and emoji, strips out fillers like "ah" and "um," and even converts dialects such as Osaka and Hakata Japanese into standard Japanese. It also works with very quiet speech and adjusts tone by context, from LINE and X messages to email, meeting notes and coding.

The meetup paired that product line with the broader theme of AI agents and vibe coding — building programs from natural-language instructions. Sessions from Google Cloud's Takahiro Moriya, Digiraise CEO Masahiro Chazono and Simeji's Yu Furuya, plus a panel on how AI changes how work gets made, framed voice input less as a typing replacement and more as a way for non-engineers to take on work that previously required specialist knowledge. The sold-out sign-ups and 55 attendees suggest the topic landed with the PMs, engineers, executives and IT freelancers the event targeted.

The meeting-minutes feature is the concrete next step: it would push Simeji PC AI Voice Input from writing assistance into capturing and organizing what is said in a room. Whether that broadens the paid Pro tier's appeal is not stated; the company has only said the feature is planned for November 2026.
