Limits worth knowing in talat

  • The Mac version needs macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon, and Windows needs version 10 or later. There are no mobile, web or Linux apps.
  • After the 10 free hours, new recordings need a paid plan, though existing meetings can still be searched, exported and summarized.
  • Nothing syncs or uploads, so notes stay on the one computer where they were recorded.
  • Summaries from a cloud model require your own provider account and API key; the vendor notes that cloud models usually do better on longer meetings.
