OLVA is a meeting assistant that provides live transcription, question detection, contextual answers, coaching prompts and searchable meeting memory. Desktop OLVA captures audio from the user's device without appearing as a meeting participant, and works alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles and Webex. Users can add notes and PDF, text, Markdown, DOCX or PPTX files as meeting context, subject to a plan's shared word limit. The listing states 87 transcription languages; the default Soniox speech provider supports 60 spoken languages with automatic detection and multiple selected languages. Calendar integrations are available. Pro and Ultra include Notion, Slack, Google Drive and outbound webhooks; Plus does not. The iOS and Android apps use the microphone for in-person conversations, but do not capture another app's system audio. OLVA says meeting audio and video are not stored on its systems, while transcripts and other materials are handled under its Privacy Policy. Plus costs $14.99 a month, Pro $24.99 a month and Ultra $99.99 a month. The maker describes Pro as suited to heavy meeting weeks and customer-facing roles, among others.
