Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 13 of the 48 other AI meeting note takers we grade
JotMe adds live translated captions, transcription and AI meeting notes to meetings and events, with more than 200 languages offered as translation targets. Its desktop apps listen to the computer's audio, so they work with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex or an in-person conversation without a bot joining the call. Translations can be shared with other people by link or QR code, and an assistant answers questions about a meeting in the user's own language.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about JotMe, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for live translation in multilingual meetings
JotMe puts translated captions on screen as people talk, in 200-plus languages, shares them by link or QR code and writes notes in each reader's language, with no bot in the call.
- 2
Paid plans start at $10 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $10 per user / month, billed annually ($120); $20 billed monthly.
- 3
There is a free plan
20 minutes of live translation or real-time summary and 50 minutes of transcription a month, 5 AI credits, 5 custom terms and access to the last 5 meeting recordings.
- 4
It runs on 5 platforms
Web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
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+.
- 6
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.
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 13 of 48
That is against the other AI meeting note takers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace JotMe you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for live translation in multilingual meetings
JotMe puts translated captions on screen as people talk, in 200-plus languages, shares them by link or QR code and writes notes in each reader's language, with no bot in the call. Pro is $10 a month on the yearly plan. Everything is metered in minutes, Pro's 200 minutes of live translation a month run out fast, notes go nowhere below Enterprise, and subscriptions aren't refunded.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $10 a user a month on the yearly plan, exactly the middle of this category, and $20 if you pay monthly. It's metered either way: 200 minutes of live translation and 500 of transcription a month, with a one-time $50 buying 500 more for a month. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Twenty minutes of live translation and 50 of transcription a month, 5 AI credits, and only your last 5 recordings stay open. That's enough to watch it work in one short call. |
| Features | C | The translation half: captions translated as people talk, 200-plus languages, shared by link or QR code, notes in each reader's language, no bot in the call. After the meeting it thins out: the Google Docs, email and Slack hook-ups are Enterprise only, so a note has nowhere to go. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but nothing to set up: the desktop app listens to your computer's audio, so nobody else installs anything and there's no bot to let in. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension for Google Meet, and it hears Zoom, Teams and Webex because it listens to the computer. What it connects to is thin, though: Google Docs, email and Slack come with Enterprise, arranged through sales. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who JotMe is for
- Fits if your meetings mix languages and people need captions in their own
- Works for events or webinars where the audience follows along by QR code
Who it is not for
- Skip it if all your meetings are in one language, because translation is the point of this one
- Tight if you translate a lot: 200 minutes a month on Pro and 500 on Premium, and Pro keeps only your last 20 recordings
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $20 for Pro against $10 a month on the yearly plan
- Not for you if you might want a refund, as subscriptions aren't refunded and yearly plans are charged in one payment
- Too light for teams that want notes sent to Google Docs, email or Slack, which come only with Enterprise through sales
Good to know
Good for
- 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
Worth knowing
- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace JotMe you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 26 of the 48 other AI meeting note takers grade higher. It costs $120 a year.
What you could not
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams among them.
What this rests on. JotMe’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
