MeetNotes vs Read AI

MeetNotes records meetings and turns them into speaker-labelled transcripts and minutes with summaries, decisions and action items. Users can record an in-person meeting with a phone, or have the notetaker join Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams through a meeting link or calendar invite. Its Mac and Windows apps capture computer playback and microphone audio for those services, plus Webex and WhatsApp calls. MeetNotes says it can produce minutes in any of 110 languages and transcribe conversations that switch languages mid-sentence. Minutes can be edited and shared as PDF or Word files, including by WhatsApp or email. Web access lets users read, search and export meetings. Teams share a pool of recording minutes, but a meeting remains private to its recorder unless shared. The free plan includes 100 minutes once. Minute packs are bought once and do not expire; the 30-minute pack is ₹99 a month. Audio and transcript content is sent to third-party AI providers solely to produce transcripts and minutes.

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. Read AI was founded in 2021 and is based in Seattle, Washington, United States.
