How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Fieldy when capturing notes from in-person client or sales meetings matters most, and Meeting Transcriber when recording and summarizing teams, zoom, or webex calls without inviting a cloud meeting bot matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.
Wearable AI note taker that records in-person conversations and meetings, then transcribes and summarizes them automatically.
Open-source, local-first macOS app that auto-records Teams, Zoom, and Webex calls and transcribes, diarizes, and summarizes them entirely on-device.
Fieldy is a wearable AI note taker built for capturing real-world, in-person conversations and meetings rather than only online calls. The device is a small clip-on or pendant-style wearable that can be worn around the neck or on the wrist, capturing audio hands-free or via a button press. Once a conversation is captured, Fieldy's companion app transcribes the speech, automatically splits longer recordings into segments, and generates concise summaries. It can extract action items and reminders from what was said, and it offers an AI chat interface so users can search and ask questions about their past conversation history. Because it does not depend on a meeting bot joining a video call, Fieldy is aimed at people whose important discussions happen face to face, such as professionals in field roles, sales and client-facing workers, students, and anyone who wants a record of hallway chats, errands, and one-on-one meetings. It pairs the convenience of an always-available recorder with AI summarization so users can stay present in a conversation instead of taking manual notes. Pricing varies by plan.

Meeting Transcriber is an open-source, local-first meeting transcriber for macOS, distributed under the MIT license and developed in the open on GitHub (pasrom/meeting-transcriber) with its own product site at meetingtranscriber.app. It runs as a menu bar application that automatically detects and records calls on Teams, Zoom, and Webex, capturing the meeting app's audio and your microphone as separate tracks so that transcription and speaker separation stay clean. Transcription happens fully on-device using one of three selectable speech-recognition engines: WhisperKit (covering 99+ languages), Parakeet TDT v3 (25 European languages with a small, fast model), or Qwen3-ASR (30 languages, requiring macOS 15+). It performs dual-track diarization and can recognize recurring speakers by storing voice embeddings across meetings and matching them with cosine similarity. After a meeting, it can generate a structured Markdown protocol containing a summary, participants, topics discussed, decisions, tasks, open questions, and the full transcript, using either the Claude Code CLI, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint such as Ollama or LM Studio, or a transcript-only mode with no LLM. Because everything runs locally, audio, transcripts, and summaries stay on the user's Mac. It installs via Homebrew Cask and requires macOS 14.2 or later. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
