Languages

76 claimed on marketing surfaces (homepage, /about, teams.wave.co) BUT Wave publishes three mutually inconsistent numbers: 76 (marketing), 57 (help centre, describing the actual in-app Recording Language picker), and "30+" (App Store description). CRITICAL: no published language list anywhere names Swedish - /use-cases/multilingual-meetings names 16 languages and /tools/transcribe-audio names 15, Swedish absent from both. Previously recorded as "100+", which matches none of Wave's own figures.

Latest News

New Feature 2026-10-01

Wave Adds In-App Sharing, Audio Retention Controls and Folder-Wide Questions

Wave shipped three features. Sessions can now be shared to another Wave user inside the app rather than as a copy, read-only and revocable, and the recipient gets their own assistant tab whose answers jump to the exact moment in the recording. Recipients without an account sign up free to open a share, and sharing is free on every plan. Audio retention controls let a user have the audio deleted automatically after a day, week, month, 90 days or a year while the transcript, summary, action items and chat are kept; the setting is off by default. And questions can now be asked across an entire folder rather than one session at a time.

Update 2026-09-16

Wave Ships a Citing Assistant, ChatGPT/Claude Plugins and Desktop Photo Capture

Wave's September release train rebuilt Wave Assistant on a new engine that searches more of the library, reads full transcripts and links every session behind an answer. It also added Wave Gifts ($100 for a year of Pro), phone-to-desktop photo capture during a recording, Apple Calendar on iPhone and Mac, official ChatGPT and Claude plugins, Continue Recording, recording split, and control over how the meeting bot looks.
