HyNote

Bot-free meeting transcription

HyNote transcribes Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and Webex calls live or from a recording without adding a bot to the call, with speaker identification, timestamps and more than 50 languages.

Eight kinds of input

Notes can start from live audio, uploaded audio files, video, PDFs, images read by OCR, YouTube links, captured web pages and phone calls.

Summaries and templates

Transcripts and documents become summaries, key points, action items and meeting minutes, with more than 30 templates such as SWOT analysis, interview notes and follow-up emails.

Free Mac app with local transcription

The Mac app records any app's audio plus the microphone and transcribes on the device at no charge. Local AI needs macOS 26.4 or later on an M1 or newer Mac; online AI is a paid extra.

Chat and study tools

You can chat with a single note or all notes, and turn material into quizzes, flashcards and study plans. Podcasts, slides and infographics are generated with credits.

Export and integrations

Notes export to Google Docs, Notion, PDF or TXT, and action items can be sent to Todoist, Asana or Slack. Zapier and a ChatGPT connection are also listed.

Notta

Bot or bot-free meeting recording

A bot can join Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Webex calls. Notta Desktop, a beta app for Mac and Windows, records from the device instead, so nothing joins the call.

Live transcription in 58 languages

Transcribes speech as it happens and labels speakers. Notta lists 58 languages for transcription and translation, with a bilingual mode for two languages at once.

AI Notes

Generates a summary and action items for each recording. The monthly quota is 10 summaries on Free, 100 on Pro and 200 on Business.

Notta Brain

Answers questions across past meetings and builds slides, documents and infographics from them. It runs on AI credits: every plan includes 1,000 a month, and a paid add-on provides 8,000 a month.

File and link transcription

Upload audio or video files, or paste a YouTube link, and get a transcript. Uploads are capped at 50 a month on Free, 100 on Pro and 200 on Business.

Screen recording

Records the screen with audio and camera, and a Chrome extension captures audio from a browser tab. Recording online meetings with video needs the Business plan.
