The call is in English, and you catch half of it

You follow the words but lose the thread. Afterwards you remember the mood of the meeting and none of the decisions. Two different problems, an hour apart.

Screencast: a call with live subtitles, then the finished summary
To be shot. Until then this frame marks the spot and its size.

What it looks like

  1. 1It starts itself — for the apps and sites you name.
  2. 2Subtitles run over the call with a translation underneath.
  3. 3You read the language you think in and listen in the one they speak.
  4. 4After the call the recording turns into a summary, and you choose what kind.

Six kinds of summary

Three levels of detail, and you pick the language of the summary — English, Russian or Ukrainian — regardless of the one the meeting was held in.

StandardWhat was said, in order.
BriefThe short version, for whoever was not there.
Decisions and actionsWho agreed to what, and who owes what.
TechnicalA design discussion, keeping the names and the numbers.
Client callWhat they asked for, what was promised.
LectureA talk you are learning from, not negotiating in.

Next to what you use now

They all write good notes. The question is not the quality of the notes.

Granolachecked 08.2026Keeps the recording and the transcript on its own servers.
Otterchecked 08.2026The same: the meeting leaves your machine whole.
Fathomchecked 08.2026The same, plus an account that owns your meetings.

Here the recording never leaves your Mac. There is no account holding your meetings and no server anyone could subpoena. For a call under NDA that is not a detail — it is the whole answer to whether you may use this at all.

What it costs

Recording a meeting, the summary that follows, and live subtitles are all paid features. Plain dictation — your language in, your language out — stays free forever and needs no account. Everything on this page is opened by the 14-day trial that starts by itself once you sign up in the first-run setup.

Your speech never leaves the Mac

Recognition, translation and the summary all run on your machine. Meeting audio is not saved unless you turn saving on and pick a folder — and then it is a file on your disk, which you can delete.
