A tl;dv Alternative for Recorded Files
tl;dv is a popular meeting recorder for Zoom, Meet, and Teams with AI notes and a generous free tier. For live call capture inside those platforms, it does its job well.
Jackob.ai covers the other side of transcription work: files. Interviews recorded on a phone, podcasts, lecture videos, webinar exports, focus groups, voice memos — upload any audio or video and get a speaker-labeled transcript, AI summary, and document or subtitle exports in 98 languages, with no bot ever joining a call.
