Geode vs Read AI

Geode records audio conversations, transcribes and summarizes them, and provides translation, with on-device processing by default. Recording, transcription, and translation can work offline; on Mac, on-device summaries can also run offline. Transcription supports 90+ languages alongside live translation. Its desktop app for macOS and Windows adds speaker separation, transcript review and editing, and higher-accuracy transcription. Geode can import audio and video files, including MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, MP4, and MOV, with a maximum length of three hours per file. It can be used alongside Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack, and Discord without meeting bots or direct integrations. One account works across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and Windows, and recordings can move from mobile to desktop over local Wi-Fi. The free plan includes five hours of local transcription per month and ten local summaries per month on Mac. Pro is listed at $4.17 a year, billed annually at $49.99, or $8.99 /mo. A seven-day trial is available.

Read AI captures meetings and provides transcription, summaries and action items. Its meeting bot supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, and calendar integrations are available. The service is listed for web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and it also supports file uploads. The product listing gives a transcription-language count of 16. The free plan is always free, requires no credit card and allows five meetings per month; its plan details list support for 20+ languages. Paid plans are billed annually: Pro costs $15 a month and includes 100 file upload credits per month. Enterprise costs $22.50 a month with 200 credits, while Enterprise+ costs $29.75 a month with 300 credits and requires at least five licenses. The different language counts given for transcription and the free plan may matter when checking suitability for a particular meeting.
