How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Carv when transcribing and summarizing candidate interviews hands-free matters most, and Senstone when dictating notes and reminders hands-free for busy professionals and students matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

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.

Senstone, currently sold as the Scripter, is a wearable voice assistant: a small device worn as a clip or pendant that lets you capture spoken notes, ideas, and dictations hands-free without reaching for your phone. Pressing the device records your voice, which its companion app then transcribes into text, organizes, stores, and lets you share. The platform handles voice-to-text in 12+ languages, including English, French, German, Arabic, and Ukrainian, and uses AI to clean up transcripts with punctuation and titling. Beyond plain transcription, the app generates summaries and action items, recognizes keywords, and can create lists and reminders via hashtags. The device syncs continuously with your smartphone and stores recordings locally when out of range, and notes can be shared to apps like Gmail. It is aimed at professionals, students, writers, and anyone who wants to capture thoughts on the move and turn them into searchable text. Senstone positions Scripter as an on-demand, pick-and-choose alternative to always-on life-logging wearables, emphasizing long battery life and selective recording.
