How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Daisy when recording and transcribing meetings privately on a mac without cloud upload matters most, and Voiso when sales and support managers scoring agent performance and coaching from call summaries matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

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.

Voiso is a cloud-based contact-center platform built for sales and customer-service teams, combining voice, SMS, and messaging channels with AI-driven analytics in a single workspace. Its speech analytics suite processes recorded call audio through speech-to-text and natural-language pipelines, transcribing calls into searchable text across more than ten languages, including English, Spanish, French, and Arabic. Transcripts can be navigated, searched, and flagged against predefined or custom keyword lists to support quality assurance, compliance, and agent training. Beyond raw transcription, the platform applies AI to score conversations on a 1-to-5 scale, detect sentiment and emotional cues, and automatically generate concise call summaries that capture key topics and outcomes without reviewing full recordings. It is aimed at call centers, BPOs, and outbound and inbound teams in industries such as fintech, travel, retail, and e-commerce. Other platform capabilities include a predictive dialer, IVR and routing flow builder, CRM integrations, call recording, and real-time performance dashboards. Speech analytics features are available on its Pro plan and higher.
