How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist EkaScribe when doctors generating clinical notes and summaries automatically from patient consultations matters most, and OpenOats when privately transcribing meetings on a mac without sending audio to the cloud matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

Open-source macOS meeting note-taker that transcribes calls locally and surfaces relevant talking points from your own notes in real time.
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.

OpenOats is an open-source macOS meeting note-taker, created by Yazin Akkawi (the project was previously named OpenGranola before being renamed), that sits alongside your calls and both transcribes the conversation and helps you contribute to it. It captures both sides of a meeting and transcribes audio locally on Apple Silicon so audio never leaves the device, while in real time it searches your own markdown or plain-text knowledge base to surface relevant talking points and things worth saying during the discussion. The application window is hidden from screen sharing by default, which lets it stay private during video calls, and transcripts and session logs are auto-saved locally. OpenOats supports both fully local operation through Ollama and cloud providers such as OpenRouter and Voyage AI, so users can choose between complete offline privacy and hosted models. It is written primarily in Swift, distributed under the MIT license, and actively maintained with very frequent releases. The project documents itself at openoats.com and targets users who want a privacy-respecting, self-hostable alternative to cloud meeting copilots, combining live transcription with a retrieval layer over personal notes rather than only producing an after-the-fact summary. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
