The answer, as recorded
I'd start with **Otter**, **Fireflies**, or **Fathom**. Which one fits depends on whether you care most about live transcripts, integrations, or cost. 1. **Otter.ai** is the default pick for teams that spend a lot of time in meetings. Its bot joins Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls by itself, and you can read and edit the transcript while the call is still going. The downsides: it's essentially English-only, and the free plan stops at 300 minutes a month and 30 minutes per meeting. ([HappyScribe](https://www.happyscribe.com/blog/best-meeting-transcription-software), [itsconvo](https://www.itsconvo.com/blog/otter-vs-fireflies-vs-fathom)) 2. **Fireflies.ai** is best if your team works in CRMs or needs to search old meetings. It logs summaries, action items and transcripts straight into Salesforce, HubSpot or Pipedrive. It supports more languages than Otter and costs around $10 per user per month. It also had the best accuracy (about 92%) in one head-to-head test. ([TechSifted](https://techsifted.com/comparisons/fireflies-vs-otter-vs-fathom-2026/), [usecarly](https://www.usecarly.com/blog/otter-vs-fireflies-vs-fathom/)) 3. **Fathom** is the best value for small teams. The free plan has unlimited recordings, transcription and storage, with no limit on meeting length. Its summaries are known for being short and useful, split into key points, decisions and action items. ([itsconvo](https://www.itsconvo.com/blog/otter-vs-fireflies-vs-fathom), [ScreenApp](https://screenapp.io/blog/ai-meeting-notetakers-comparison)) 4. **tl;dv** makes sense if people often go back to recorded calls and share clips of specific moments. It was a bit slower and less accurate than the three above in testing. ([ScreenApp](https://screenapp.io/blog/ai-meeting-notetakers-comparison)) 5. **Rev** is for when you need accuracy you can rely on, like legal work, research or published content. It offers both AI and human transcription, and the human service is 99%+ accurate, usually back in under 12 hours. ([Guideflow](https://www.guideflow.com/blog/transcription-software)) 6. **Happy Scribe** is a good fit for teams working in several languages. It transcribes many languages and lets you upgrade a file to human-reviewed accuracy. ([HappyScribe](https://www.happyscribe.com/blog/best-meeting-transcription-software)) 7. **Krisp** is worth adding if people take calls from noisy homes or cafés. Its main job is noise cancellation, which gives any transcription tool cleaner audio to work with. ([Sonix](https://sonix.ai/resources/best-meeting-transcription-software/)) Before buying anything, check what you already pay for. Zoom AI Companion, Copilot in Microsoft Teams, and Gemini in Google Meet all include transcripts and summaries on some paid plans. That may be enough, and it avoids adding a third-party bot to calls, which security teams tend to like. I didn't look these up; this is from my own knowledge. Two caveats on the sources: - Several are vendor blogs ranking their own category (HappyScribe, Sonix, VexaScribe). - The accuracy numbers come from a single test, not independent benchmarks.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
