Prepared Adds AI Call Recording Service Ahead Of Japan's Customer Harassment Rules
The October 1 obligation creates a compliance deadline, and Prepared is positioning call recording plus AI summaries as the answer for companies that currently rely on an employee's memory when a phone complaint escalates.

Prepared Inc. has begun handling RecACE plus, an AI service that records landline calls, then transcribes, summarizes, and tags them for review on a PC or smartphone. The company is pitching it at telephone handling ahead of rules that from October 1, 2026 obligate business operators in Japan to take measures against customer harassment, or kasuhara.
RecACE plus is aimed at a specific gap: companies that cannot confirm what was actually said when a complaint arrives by phone. The service records calls automatically, has AI transcribe and summarize them, and tags the output so staff can search instead of replaying recordings one by one.
Important inquiries arrive as push notifications through a dedicated app. Managers can pull recordings and transcriptions in bulk through app and email sharing, which the company frames as a way to keep handling from resting entirely on the individual employee and to let headquarters see what frontline staff are dealing with across locations.
- Call recording: Calls are recorded automatically so the content can be checked later
- AI transcription and summarization: AI transcribes calls and summarizes the key points
- Tagging: Summarized and tagged calls can be narrowed down without replaying every recording
- Push notifications: Important inquiries are flagged through the dedicated app
- Multi-location management: App and email sharing let managers review recordings and transcriptions in bulk
