How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Anarlog when engineers and developers wanting private, bot-free meeting notes matters most, and LiveVoice when adding live ai captions and transcripts for accessibility at on-site, online, or hybrid events matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

Anarlog is an open-source, local-first AI meeting notetaker developed by Fastrepl, Inc., the team behind the project previously known as Hyprnote and Char. It is positioned as an open-source alternative to cloud meeting-notes tools and is designed for people who want to keep meeting data under their own control. Instead of sending a bot into a call, Anarlog captures system audio directly on the user's computer, transcribes it locally, and merges the transcript with short notes the user jots down during the meeting to produce structured, editable summaries with action items. Audio, transcripts, and notes are stored as files on the local disk rather than in an external service, and users can choose between running local AI models or supplying their own API keys for cloud processing. The application is available for Apple Silicon Macs and its codebase is published on GitHub under a GPL license, so it can be inspected, forked, and self-hosted. Anarlog is best for engineers, privacy-conscious professionals, and teams that want bot-free meeting notes with full ownership of their data. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

LiveVoice is a live-audio platform built for events, conferences, meetings, guided tours, and church services. It turns attendees' own smartphones and browsers into receivers, so audiences listen to interpreted audio or read live captions in their own language without dedicated hardware, headsets, or IT setup. The platform supports remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) by professional human interpreters working from anywhere through a multi-channel interpreter app, AI voice and text translation, or a combination of both. Its AI Live Captions feature transcribes a chosen audio channel in real time and can be configured in over 65 languages, displaying on the mobile app, web browsers, on-site screens, or as lower thirds in video streams. After an event, transcripts can be downloaded as text, CSV, SRT, or VTT files for sharing or repurposing. It works on iOS, Android, and Huawei devices and supports on-site, online, and hybrid events, integrating with video conferencing and livestreaming tools. It targets event organizers, conference planners, and accessibility teams.
