Shortlist Alice Recorder when journalists and legal professionals needing secure, verified transcripts matters most, and Microsoft Teams Copilot when catching up on a teams meeting you joined late or missed matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

Alice Recorder, from AliceApp (aliceapp.ai), is a secure audio recording and transcription tool available as a native iOS app and a web application. Users record interviews, lectures, meetings, or field notes and receive searchable transcripts, with the company highlighting fast file uploads and transcription across 100+ languages and dialects. Beyond raw transcription, Alice integrates with Claude AI to analyze transcripts and produce summaries and workflow automations, so a recorded meeting can be turned into structured notes and follow-ups. The product emphasizes privacy and security as a core differentiator, stating no analytics or tracking, no use of customer content for AI training, signal-level encryption, optional auto-delete scheduling for recordings, and enterprise compliance with HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA. It supports a wide range of export formats including PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT, VTT, JSON, CSV, HTML, and media files, and connects to tools such as Slack, Notion, Dropbox, Gmail, OneDrive, Salesforce, and HubSpot. Alice positions itself for journalists, legal professionals, and universities who need verified transcripts and strict data handling. Pricing varies by plan.

Copilot in Microsoft Teams is the AI meeting assistant built into Microsoft 365 Copilot. During or after a Teams meeting it summarizes key discussion points (including who spoke and what they said), suggests action items, and answers questions by reasoning over the conversation and meeting chat. It works in real time via the Copilot button and is also available afterward through the meeting chat and Recap tab. Transcription does not have to be running just to turn Copilot on during a meeting, but live transcription must be enabled to prompt Copilot about what was said and to access its conversation history after the meeting ends; recording itself is not required. Longer responses can be opened in Word, and table-style output in Excel. Copilot is sold as a paid add-on that requires a qualifying Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscription, and it extends beyond Teams across Word, Excel, Outlook, and other Microsoft 365 apps. A no-cost Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat tier is included for eligible subscribers but excludes the full work-grounded Teams meeting Copilot experience.
