JotMe vs Tiro

JotMe

• Meetings where participants speak different languages
• Events and webinars that share translated captions by link or QR code
• People who want notes and summaries in their own language

Tiro

• Multilingual meetings that need live translation alongside the transcript
• Recording video calls on Windows or Mac without a visible meeting bot
• Teams that want notes reachable from Claude, ChatGPT or their own scripts

JotMe

• The Free plan allows 20 minutes of live translation and 50 minutes of transcription a month and keeps only the last 5 recordings accessible.
• Paid plans meter live translation too: 200 minutes a month on Pro and 500 on Premium. A one-time $50 purchase adds 500 minutes for one month.
• The Chrome extension is for Google Meet; other platforms are covered by the desktop and mobile apps.
• Subscriptions are non-refundable once purchased, and annual plans are charged as a single payment for the year.

Tiro

• There is no free plan: the trial is a one-time 3 weeks and 300 minutes, and recording new notes afterward needs a subscription.
• Lite and Pro are capped at 300 and 1,000 minutes a month; with additional recording switched on, extra minutes cost $0.025 each.
• Speaker diarization and the Wiki start at the Pro plan.
• The web app cannot record system audio or work offline; both need the desktop app. Subscribing through the App Store or Google Play costs more than on the web.

JotMe

Live translated captions

Speech is translated into captions while people talk, with background AI agents refining meaning as the conversation develops. Fast mode currently offers 13 target languages; other modes offer 200+.

No bot in the call

The Mac and Windows apps capture audio on the computer, so nothing joins the meeting and other participants install nothing. It works with any meeting platform or in person.

Shared live translation

A host can share the running translation by URL or QR code, or show it as subtitles on camera, so teammates, clients or an audience follow in their own language.

Speaker-labeled transcription

Transcripts carry speaker labels and can cover several spoken languages at once. Audio and video files can be uploaded for the same transcript, translation and notes.

AI meeting notes and summaries

After a meeting the transcript, notes, summary, decisions and action items are saved to the dashboard, and notes can be generated in each reader's language.

Ask JotMe

Questions asked during or after a meeting are answered in the user's own language from what was said. Each use draws on the plan's monthly AI credits.

Tiro

Live transcription and one-page notes

Text appears on screen as people speak, with automatic error correction as context builds. When the recording ends Tiro creates a one-page document, a note and a full transcript.

Real-time translation

Tiro supports 15 languages, including Korean, English and Japanese. Setting different languages for the conversation and the recording shows a live translation alongside the transcript.

System audio without a bot

The Windows and Mac apps record the computer's audio together with your voice, covering Zoom, Meet and Teams calls, YouTube and lectures. No bot joins the meeting.

Templates

Ready-made and custom templates turn a note into a recurring format such as meeting minutes, an interview write-up or an evaluation sheet in one click.

Ask Tiro and Wiki

Ask Tiro answers questions about one note or all of them and cites its sources. The Wiki, from the Pro plan, organizes the people, topics and decisions found in meeting records.

Exports, API and MCP

Notes export to PDF, Word or email and can be sent to Slack, Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, HubSpot or Salesforce. The API, MCP server and CLI carry no extra charge.
