How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Fireflies when sales call capture and crm logging matters most, and StreamText when real-time captioning and translation in classrooms and lectures for accessibility matters most. Test each on your own meetings; the right choice tends to become obvious quickly.

StreamText is a real-time captioning platform that delivers live human or AI-generated captions, translations, and transcripts for events and meetings.
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.
Best suited for
StreamText is an enterprise real-time captioning platform, founded in 2003, that delivers spoken words as live captions to web pages, devices, and conferencing tools. It supports two modes: professional human captioners (using stenography, re-speaking, and text interpreting) and AI-powered automatic speech recognition (ASR), which converts speech to text in real time and produces captions, translations, and transcripts. Source audio is captioned live and streamed to an ADA-compliant viewer that works with screen readers, while AI captioning recognizes around 20 source languages and offers realtime translation into well over 100 languages. Captioned sessions can be exported as timed-text transcript files such as .srt and .vtt, and StreamCast lets organizers overlay captions onto videos and presentations. It integrates with Zoom, Webex, YouTube, and Adobe, and exposes a full API for OEM and third-party embedding. It is aimed at corporate and hybrid events, conferences, classrooms, trade shows, and legal or government settings needing accessibility. Pricing is usage-based per minute with no subscriptions or setup fees.
