JotMe provides translation, transcription, chatbot features, and meeting notes for multilingual meetings and events across more than 200 languages. Its live translation uses AI agents to interpret speech intent and meaning as conversations develop. JotMe describes use with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and in-person meetings; it says no bot joins calls. For Zoom, it captures audio on the user’s computer without requiring other participants to install anything. It creates speaker-labeled transcripts live or from uploaded audio and video, then generates notes and summaries in participants’ languages. Memos let users add context. Live captions and voice translation can be shared by link, QR code, or on-camera subtitles, without recipients installing an app. Apps are available for Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android, along with a Chrome extension for Google Meet. The free plan includes 20 monthly live-translation or summary minutes, 5 AI credits, and 50 monthly transcription minutes. Pro is $10 per user/month billed annually. JotMe says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and recordings and transcripts are not used to train its AI models or sold to third parties.
