How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Fireflies when sales call capture and crm logging matters most, and iFlyRec when journalists and researchers converting recordings to searchable text matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

iFLYTEK's Chinese AI transcription platform for recording-to-text, meeting minutes, and multilingual translation.
Fireflies.ai joins video calls to record and transcribe meetings, then generates AI summaries, action items, and fully searchable notes. Its AskFred assistant lets you query past meetings in natural language ("what did we decide about pricing?"), while conversation-intelligence features add topic trackers, talk-time, and sentiment analytics. Fireflies works across Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, transcribes in a wide range of languages, and integrates natively with CRMs such as Salesforce and HubSpot plus Slack, Notion, Asana, and Zapier. A free plan covers limited transcription and AI credits for individuals; paid tiers raise transcription and storage limits and unlock team conversation analytics, making it a strong fit for sales, recruiting, and customer-research teams that live in their CRM.

iFlyRec (Chinese name Xunfei Tingjian) is an AI transcription and meeting documentation platform from iFLYTEK, a Chinese company specializing in speech recognition and natural language processing. The platform converts spoken audio into text and generates meeting minutes automatically. It supports two main workflows: real-time recording with simultaneous transcription during meetings, and file import for batch transcription of existing audio or video, with the vendor stating that an hour of audio can be processed in a few minutes. iFlyRec identifies and separates speaker roles so that transcripts and minutes can attribute statements to individual participants, and it offers AI-generated meeting summaries that extract key points. It also provides multilingual transcription and translation, with several languages available for instant translation, and connects to iFLYTEK's broader tooling such as an AI writing assistant for refining output. Built on iFLYTEK's mature Chinese speech-recognition technology, iFlyRec is aimed at Chinese-language professionals such as journalists, researchers, and corporate staff who need fast, accurate transcription of recordings, interviews, and meetings, and it offers enterprise deployment options for organizations with larger needs. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
