How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Clipto when creators and editors transcribing and searching large libraries of footage, podcasts, and interviews matters most, and Intelligent Summary+ when legal teams generating issue-organized deposition memos for briefing and trial prep matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

An AI-powered deposition summarization tool from Esquire Deposition Solutions that turns legal deposition transcripts into topic-organized summaries with hyperlinked page/line citations.
Clipto is an AI-powered transcription and knowledge assistant built exclusively for Mac that functions as a fully local, searchable media library for audio and video. It transcribes and indexes a range of content including videos, audio files, podcasts, meetings, interviews, and lectures, with automatic transcription, speaker labeling, and AI summaries that condense long recordings. Its standout capability is search: users can run natural-language queries across large volumes of media, jump to exact timecodes for spoken dialogue, and surface people, scenes, and objects across their library. Processing is fully local and works offline with no cloud uploads, which the product positions as a privacy-focused architecture for creators and professionals who manage large media collections. Clipto integrates with creative and storage tools, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Dropbox, Google Drive, NAS, and local folders, and offers auto-tagging to keep footage organized. It targets content creators such as photographers, video editors, filmmakers, agencies, and marketers, but its transcription of meetings and interviews makes it relevant for capturing and revisiting conversations as well. The app is actively operating, requires Apple Silicon Macs with sufficient memory and a recent macOS version, and also offers an iOS app. Free and paid plans are referenced. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

Intelligent Summary+ is an AI-powered deposition summarization service from Esquire Deposition Solutions, launched May 30, 2024. Rather than capturing audio itself, it ingests completed deposition transcripts — including transcripts not produced by Esquire — and uses patent-pending AI built on external Large Language Model providers to analyze them. The output is a single DOCX document containing the full transcript alongside several layers of analysis: a Deposition Abstract encapsulating the proceeding, one to five pages of extracted Key Admissions, a Page/Line Summary organized by topic with hyperlinked page/line citations back to the source dialogue, and a Deposition Memo that organizes the summary thematically around key legal and factual issues. The system parses deponent names and gender pronouns and applies two layers of human quality control. Esquire states the platform is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2013 certified, and HIPAA compliant, and that data is not retained for AI training. It targets litigators and legal teams assessing, preparing, briefing, and trying cases, with same-day turnaround available for transcripts received during business hours.
