LiteScribe

LiteScribe records meetings, interviews and lectures, turns them into a searchable transcript, and then writes the notes: a summary, the decisions and the action items.

No bot joins the call. Unlike Otter.ai or Fireflies.ai, LiteScribe does not send a participant into the meeting. It captures the computer's system audio together with the microphone locally, so no unfamiliar attendee appears in the Zoom, Teams or Google Meet participant list. It needs no meeting link either, so in-person interviews and lectures work exactly the same way.

The desktop apps have an offline mode in which both the speech-recognition model and the language model run on the user's own machine, so neither the audio nor the transcript leaves the device. That matters for privileged, regulated or commercially sensitive recordings. To be precise: the cloud path is processed by AssemblyAI in the United States, and only the offline mode is fully local.

Transcription covers over 100 languages with automatic language detection, plus speaker separation and export to PDF, DOCX and SRT. Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, the web, and as Chrome and Edge extensions, with the interface in English plus 14 other languages.

Pricing is freemium. The free tier is permanent rather than a trial: 120 minutes a month with no card required. Paid plans start at $14.95 per user per month.
