How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Carv when transcribing and summarizing candidate interviews hands-free matters most, and PrismaScribe when generating subtitles from meeting or lecture recordings matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

Carv is an AI platform for recruiters that records, transcribes, and takes notes during interviews, intake calls, and hiring meetings so recruiters can stay present in the conversation rather than typing notes. During candidate interviews it captures a full verbatim transcript, flags any planned questions that went unanswered at the end of the call, and uses the transcript to auto-generate a candidate profile. For intake calls with hiring managers, Carv captures the requirements discussed and can automatically draft a job description in the recruiter's own style and tone of voice. Beyond note-taking, Carv positions itself as an agentic recruiting assistant that takes over repetitive administrative work, from document creation to updating the applicant tracking system, and includes an AI companion that carries context about how the user works. The platform integrates with ATS and HR systems and offers analytics and insights across recruiting activity. By turning recruiting conversations into structured notes, profiles, and documents, Carv aims to cut down on coordination and admin time so recruiters can focus on connecting with candidates and hiring managers. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

PrismaScribe is an AI transcription platform that converts uploaded audio and video files into text. It is designed to handle a range of source material including interviews, meetings, podcasts and lectures, and processes recordings faster than real time so users can get transcripts back quickly. The service supports transcription and translation across a large number of languages with automatic language detection and code-switching, which makes it useful for multilingual interviews and research recordings. PrismaScribe applies speaker identification to distinguish multiple participants in a recording and labels each speaker in the transcript, and it accepts many common audio and video formats. Finished transcripts can be exported in several formats including plain text, SRT and VTT subtitle files, PDF, Word and Markdown, so the output can flow into subtitling, documentation or qualitative analysis workflows. The product positions itself toward creators, journalists, researchers and professionals such as podcasters, media organizations and universities. PrismaScribe focuses on transcribing recorded files rather than providing a live in-meeting bot, making it well suited to teams that need accurate, multi-speaker transcripts of conversations they have already captured. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
