Ask HN: Opinion please ― What are the best meeting transcription tools?

1 pointsmyyke1y ago1 comments

I'd like to start using a transcription tool like fireflies.ai regularly. But there are so many out there now (grain, notta, avoma, bluedot, tldv, ..., ...) that I'd love to get some guidance on which ones stand out.

What I'm most interested in:

- Stellar UX

- Very simple and reliable to integriate into all the video call platforms out there

- Great at deriving the real essentials from what was said: good summary and comprehensive action points (I don't care about the verbatim transcription (and think that should be commodity nowadays) so much and much more about the condensate)

- Good cost/value ratio (single user)

- Languages: de is a must in addition to en. Anything out there that can do swiss german?

- (Anything else I should find important but am missing here?)

Would love to get some input/opinions from people who are using one of these regularly.

Thank you!

I've been using Otter AI for almost a year now. They've added quite a few features with querying your transcription and the likes, and it just works.

Specifically on language, it sometimes goes haywire when there is Hinglish (Hindi + English) involved, so not sure if they support de natively. Cost-effective though.
