Amie vs TranscribeAudio

Amie is a meeting note taker, calendar, and task app for people who spend their days in calls. It captures audio from your device without sending a bot into Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams, then turns conversations into summaries, transcripts, and action items you can use immediately.

The pieces are wired together rather than bolted on. Private notes you write before or during a call shape the summary. Action items can land in your todo lists, get scheduled automatically, or export to HubSpot, Notion, Slack, Linear, and Pipedrive with a click. The built-in chat has context from your meetings, calendar, and email, so you can draft follow-ups, create tickets, or ask what someone said in last week's demo.

Sales teams, founders, and customer-facing roles are the core audience. The app runs on macOS, Windows, and iOS, syncs Google and Apple calendars, and transcribes in 17 languages with speaker labeling.

TranscribeAudio is a Chrome extension that turns any audio playing in your browser into live text. Instead of uploading recordings or inviting a bot into your meeting, you click Start on a tab and captions appear in a floating overlay you can drag anywhere on screen.

The extension captures audio directly from the browser tab, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, YouTube, podcasts, and any other site playing sound in Chrome. Transcription runs on OpenAI's Whisper-based speech recognition and supports 57 languages.

It fits anyone who wants real-time captions during meetings, lectures, or videos without managing separate recording files or waiting for upload-based transcripts to process.
