The answer, as recorded
For remote teams, "transcription" usually means meeting capture, so I'll weight that - with a couple of file-upload options at the end. **1. Fireflies.ai** - My default recommendation for a team. ~$10/user/mo (Pro), a genuinely usable free tier (~800 min), 100+ languages, and it auto-logs calls to HubSpot/Salesforce. Transcription accuracy is a notch below Otter (~90-93% vs ~93-95% in clean conditions) but the summaries and search across your whole meeting archive are what teams actually use day to day. **2. Otter.ai** - Pick this if accuracy and live collaboration matter more than price. Best-in-class speaker ID, real-time transcript you can edit *during* the call, in-meeting AI chat, and live captions inside Zoom that everyone sees. ~$8.33/user/mo annual. Weaker on non-English coverage. **3. Fathom** - The best free option, and bot-free. If your team is small or you want something that doesn't announce itself in every call, start here before paying anyone. **4. Whatever's already in your stack (Zoom AI / Teams)** - Worth checking before you buy. Zoom folded AI Companion into Zoom Workplace natively in June 2026; it's included on eligible paid plans and its "My Notes" can even capture non-Zoom and in-person conversations. Teams' built-in transcription is more limited: live meetings only, no post-hoc upload, English-dominant. Both are fine for internal reference, rough on cleanup. **5. Krisp** - The one I'd name if your people work from noisy homes, cafés, or coworking spaces. Noise removal plus real-time transcription in the same tool solves the actual failure mode: every AI notetaker degrades badly with background noise and crosstalk. **6. Sonix** - Best for multilingual or non-English audio, and strong as a file-upload editor rather than a meeting bot. **7. Rev** - Only when you need a defensible transcript. AI at ~$0.25/min (96%+), human at $1.99/min with a 99% guarantee. That's ~$1,194 for 10 hours of human work vs ~$15 for AI, so reserve it for legal, medical, or broadcast use. For normal meeting notes the gap isn't noticeable. **Practical take:** run Fireflies or Otter on a free tier for two weeks with your actual accented, overlapping, noisy calls before committing - the published accuracy numbers all assume clean audio, which remote teams rarely have.
