The honest brief

Bluedot

Records Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls without sending a bot into the meeting — capture happens via the browser or desktop, not a visible participant.

  • No bot joins the call — less intrusive
  • Works on Zoom, Meet, Teams, and in person
  • Auto-syncs notes to CRM and Notion
  • Free tier to try it out
  • Free plan capped at 5 lifetime meetings
  • Capture is tied to your browser/device
  • Newer, smaller vendor than incumbents

Otter.ai

  • Real-time transcription with speaker ID
  • Summaries and action items per meeting
  • Auto-joins major video platforms
  • Mobile apps for in-person capture
  • Free tier caps lifetime file imports at 3
  • Transcription accuracy varies by audio
