What is this tool?

The argument for this one is discretion: the transcription happens in your browser rather than through an attendee everyone can see. Two things temper that. A transcript notification is still shown by default and only the $8 USD tier lets you turn it off, and because it is an extension, it follows you into the browser version of Teams rather than the desktop app.

Read full overview

Everything about this product follows from one architectural choice: it is a browser extension, not a meeting participant. That is why nothing appears in the attendee list, why the transcript starts the moment the call does, and equally why the call has to be happening in a browser tab for it to work at all. Teams and Zoom users who default to the desktop application will find that the constraint rather than the feature.

Three viewers of the same tutorial asked, across eighteen months, whether the other people on the call can tell. It is the right question and the vendor answers it in its plan matrix rather than its marketing: a transcript notification is displayed as standard, "Disable transcript notification" is sold as a $8 USD feature, and a "Customizable in-meeting notification" is Enterprise. So the honest position is that this is unobtrusive rather than invisible, and how unobtrusive is a line item.

Volume and intelligence are metered separately here, which is unusual and useful. At $0 you get ten transcripts and five AI credits a month — a real evaluation rather than a teaser. $8 USD per user removes the transcript cap but only lifts credits to ten, so a heavy user of summaries and custom prompts hits the second ceiling quickly and moves to $16.67 USD for unlimited credits. Decide which of the two you will exhaust before you choose a tier.

Above that the purchase changes character. $29.17 USD per user adds Advanced Data Retention, SAML SSO and a customer success manager, and it is also where the MCP server and Claude connector sit in beta. That tier is bought by security review rather than by a note-taker's preferences, and the two betas are worth treating as betas: interesting, not yet load-bearing.

Is this right for you?

Quick fit check against how you actually work.

ai meeting summary tool
Choose this if
  • A visible recording participant would change how your clients or candidates behave on the call
  • Your meetings are split across Meet, Zoom and Teams and you want one searchable transcript store
  • The follow-up matters more than the recording — you want issues, CRM updates and Slack posts, not a video library
  • You run multilingual calls and need speaker-separated transcripts in more than English
  • You want to evaluate properly before paying, which ten transcripts a month at $0 and no card allows
Consider alternatives if
  • You live in the Teams or Zoom desktop applications, because a browser extension needs the meeting to be in the browser
  • You need the video as well as the words — this captures the conversation, not the recording
  • Attendees must never see any indication at all, since the notification is on by default and disabling it starts at the paid tier
  • SSO or a negotiated retention policy is a day-one requirement, which puts you on the $29.17 USD tier or above before you have tested anything

What people say

Aggregate community sentiment, summarized — not native reviews.

Mixed signals

The question viewers return to, across three separate years under the same tutorial, is whether the rest of the meeting can tell. Nobody in the thread could answer it reliably, which is itself something to settle before deploying this across a client-facing team: the discretion is real but it is partial, and the part you control is priced.

Key features

What you can actually do with this tool.

No attendee appears

Transcription runs inside your browser rather than as a participant that dials in. In client-facing and candidate-facing calls that removes the conversation you would otherwise have to have at the start of every meeting.

Sixty-plus languages with speaker labels

The transcript separates who said what, in more than sixty languages. For a globally distributed team, that turns a wall of text into a searchable record.

Credits, not minutes, are what you buy

The meter is AI credits and transcript count rather than recorded hours. Ten transcripts and five credits a month at $0 is enough to test properly; unlimited transcripts arrive at $8 USD and unlimited credits at $16.67 USD, so the upgrade you need depends on whether you run out of meetings or out of AI runs first.

Output lands in the system that owns the follow-up

Workflows turn a finished call into a Slack update, a Linear issue or a HubSpot record rather than a document someone has to reread. A Tactiq MCP server and a Claude connector are in beta at the Business tier for teams that want to query meetings from an assistant.

Governance starts at one identifiable price

Advanced Data Retention and SAML SSO both begin at $29.17 USD per user; a curated data processing agreement is Enterprise. If a security review is part of your purchase, that is the line you are actually buying across.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this tool, answered.

Will the other people on my call know I am transcribing?

Yes, by default. Three viewers asked exactly this under one tutorial across eighteen months, and the answer sits in the plan matrix rather than the marketing: a transcript notification is shown in the meeting, the ability to disable it is a Pro feature at $8 USD per user, and the ability to customise that notification is Enterprise. What is genuinely absent is a separate bot in the attendee list, which is a different and smaller claim than invisibility.

Does it work with the Teams or Zoom desktop app?

It runs as a browser extension, so the meeting needs to be open in the browser. If your team habitually joins from the desktop client, that is a workflow change to plan for rather than a setting to find.

What does a credit actually get spent on?

Credits meter AI work — summaries, action items, custom prompts — while transcripts are counted separately. Five credits and ten transcripts a month are free; $8 USD per user makes transcripts unlimited and credits ten; $16.67 USD makes both unlimited. Whichever of the two your own week runs out of first is the tier you need.

When do we need to involve security?

At $29.17 USD per user, which is where Advanced Data Retention and SAML SSO appear. A curated data processing agreement is above that, at Enterprise. If your organisation will not approve a transcription tool without those, the free and Pro tiers are for personal evaluation only.
