How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Daisy when recording and transcribing meetings privately on a mac without cloud upload matters most, and Omind when monitoring conversations for hipaa, pci, and other compliance requirements in real time matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

Daisy, from Addicted Studio, is a local-first meeting recorder and AI notes application for macOS that records meetings on the Mac, transcribes them on the device, and then exposes the captured conversations as a local MCP server for AI tools. It captures both microphone and system audio from any source, including Zoom, Google Meet, Telegram, and other apps, using ScreenCaptureKit, and performs on-device transcription with WhisperKit plus speaker identification via Pyannote diarization, so audio never leaves the Mac unless the user explicitly enables a cloud LLM provider. Beyond raw transcription, Daisy generates structured notes with action items and follow-ups and supports multiple summarization backends including Apple Intelligence, Anthropic, and OpenAI, as well as MCP. Because it runs a local MCP server, tools such as Claude Desktop and Cursor can read recorded meetings directly, and Daisy can export results to Notion, Linear, Attio, Slack, or arbitrary webhooks. It offers several capture modes covering meeting recording, voice dictation, and quick voice notes. Daisy is a native Mac application (not Electron) for Apple Silicon, is fully open source on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, and emphasizes privacy with no telemetry, tracking, or required account. The project maintains a product site at mydaisy.io with installation, FAQ, and support documentation. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
Best suited for
Omind is a unified AI customer experience platform whose AI Quality Management System (AI QMS) is purpose-built for contact centers and BPOs. Instead of manually sampling a few interactions, its speech analytics engine uses AI and natural language processing to automatically transcribe, interpret, and score every voice and non-voice interaction, including calls, chat, and email. It analyzes not only the words spoken but also tone, pacing, and emotional context to detect customer sentiment, surface compliance risks, and flag conversations needing attention in real time. Teams configure customizable audit scorecards aligned to their own processes, while automated audit assignment helps distribute evaluations and reduce evaluator bias. Live alerts, whisper coaching, and escalation triggers support agents during active calls, and the platform connects with existing CRM, CCaaS, and ticketing systems. Omind also offers related modules such as Voice AI, Chat AI, an Accent Harmonizer, and the Arya analytics assistant. It is aimed at enterprise contact center, CX, and quality assurance leaders rather than individual users.
