Notta transcribes and translates meetings and audio/video files across 50+ languages, capturing Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and even YouTube videos via its Chrome extension. It turns discussions into actionable AI notes — decisions, action items and customer insights — and exports to TXT, PDF, Word or SRT, or syncs with Notion, Slack and Salesforce. Its translation depth makes it a common pick for multilingual teams over English-first competitors.

Read the full Granola review

Granola takes a different approach to meeting notes: instead of a bot joining your call, it runs quietly in the background on your desktop (Mac and Windows) and captures system audio, then turns it into polished, organized notes at the end of the meeting. You can ask questions about past meetings, surface relevant context mid-conversation, and draft follow-up emails immediately after. It has become a favorite among founders and VCs specifically because there's no visible bot in the call.
