Google Voice preps ‘Gemini Notes’ call transcripts, but likely for enterprise

At this point, Google Voice is primarily an enterprise service, with the vast majority of new features for paid customers. Google Voice is now working on a “Gemini Notes” capability.

About APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in case that they do ship. With that in mind, read on.


The latest version of Google Voice for Android (2025.12.28.849841638) reveals work on “Gemini Notes.” This will let you “record your call to receive a summary and transcript via email.”

This likely won’t be available for personal accounts. For starters, “alpha” presumably refers to the Gemini Alpha program to let Google Workspace organizations test AI features ahead of time.

Enterprise Google Voice customers already have access to recording from the call screen, and that has never made its way to free users. Call recording is often required for compliance reasons in businesses.

As seen in Phone by Google (and Meet), call recording is a nice capability. Transcriptions are always helpful, while summaries can be convenient. Delivering both over email rather than inline in the call log, which is the case for recordings, is a bit clunky and again points to enterprise use cases.

Paid Google Voice plans also feature three-way calling, seamless call transfers, desktop phone support, ring groups, routing, and eDiscovery.
