How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist CFAI when capturing private meeting notes and summaries without a recording bot joining the call matters most, and EkaScribe when producing structured prescriptions and soap notes directly into an emr workflow matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

CFAI (Cognitive Flow AI) is a Windows desktop application that acts as a privacy-focused AI meeting and call note taker. Instead of sending a bot into the call, it captures both microphone and system audio at the operating-system level, so no "recording started" notification appears and the tool works across Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Discord, and any other call. Transcription runs locally on the device using Faster Whisper, with support for many languages, and CFAI states that the audio never leaves the user's computer. From the live transcript it produces speaker-labeled notes, AI summaries, and action items, and it can build a real-time "Cognitive Map" that visualizes the conversation's topics. Summaries can be generated by Claude in the cloud, or users can keep everything offline by connecting a local LLM through Ollama, LM Studio, or Jan.ai. It is aimed at professionals, educators, recruiters, and others who want meeting notes without bots or cloud audio uploads. CFAI is distributed via the Microsoft Store with a free trial and credit-based subscription tiers.

EkaScribe is an AI-powered medical scribe developed by Eka Care, built for doctors and clinicians. It captures clinical consultations through live in-app voice recording or audio file upload, then transcribes the speech and converts it into structured clinical documentation such as consultation summaries, SOAP notes, and prescriptions rather than producing plain transcripts. The tool is built on Eka Care's in-house "Parrotlet" model and is designed for medical accents and noisy clinical environments, supporting 20+ languages including English, Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, and Urdu, and handling code-mixed speech where doctors switch between English and regional languages. It is available as a web application, a Chrome extension, and a mobile app (Google Play). The Chrome extension enables one-click insertion of generated notes into web-based EMR systems, with clipboard copy-paste for offline systems, and it integrates with Eka Care's own Eka Doc EMR. It is aimed at doctors across specialties, with a particular focus on the Indian healthcare market.
