A TurboScribe
alternative that
writes the minutes.

The room speaks more than one language. TurboScribe asks you to set the "Audio Language" of each file before it transcribes, and its help page says a transcript in the wrong language almost always comes from that setting. MeetNotes has no language to pick: a meeting that moves between Hindi and English, or Arabic and French, inside one sentence is the normal case, and the minutes can be written in any of 100+.

Your meetings run longer than half an hour. TurboScribe's free tier stops at 30 minutes per file; MeetNotes' 100 free minutes are enough to run a full hour-long meeting as one recording and judge the minutes before you pay anything.

You want to record the conversation, not only transcribe a file. MeetNotes is a phone app: press record in the room, or send the notetaker into a Zoom, Meet or Teams call. TurboScribe has no App Store or Play Store app; it is a website you open in the phone's browser.

You need what was decided, not only what was said: a summary, decisions, and action items with an owner and a due date, written from the recording, as a PDF or an editable Word file.

You want speaker names you confirm once and that are recognised again in later recordings.

On Android, your phone's call recordings become call notes automatically, with no upload step.

You want a free tier that renews every day for short files. TurboScribe's free tier covers 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes each, one upload at a time; MeetNotes gives 100 free minutes to start, not a daily allowance.

You transcribe media in bulk: up to 50 files per upload, files of up to 10 hours, and whole folders exported together.

You need subtitle files (SRT or VTT) for video, or you transcribe YouTube videos directly.

You want the transcript translated into a very large number of languages, or speech in another language transcribed straight into English.
