How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist FuseBase (PRO extension) when capturing client and discovery calls into shareable transcripts and action items matters most, and TongueType when transcribing recorded audio or video files locally, such as meeting or interview recordings matters most. Trial each on a few real meetings before you commit — the better fit usually shows fast.

TongueType is a privacy-focused macOS voice dictation app that turns speech into text on-device using a local Whisper AI model.
FuseBase PRO is a Chrome extension that records online meetings silently, without adding a bot or extra participant to the call. It captures Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams sessions, then uses AI to produce searchable transcripts, meeting summaries, key points, decisions, and action items. Recordings and notes are stored in organized workspaces and can be shared via instant links, making it useful for distributing meeting outcomes to teammates or clients. Beyond meetings, the extension also handles screen recording, quick audio notes, full-page or selected-area screenshots, and file uploads, which it can analyze with its AI agents. It is part of the broader FuseBase client-collaboration and portal platform, so captured content can flow into that wider ecosystem. The vendor states the product maintains SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance through its Trust Center. It is aimed at client-facing teams, consultants, and service businesses that want clean, shareable meeting documentation without the friction of a visible recording bot joining each call.

TongueType is a voice dictation application for macOS that converts speech to text entirely on-device using a locally-run Whisper AI model, so audio never leaves the Mac. It lives in the menu bar with no dock icon, and works as a press-to-talk input method: the user holds a configurable hotkey (or uses a double-tap latch), speaks, and the transcribed text is inserted at the cursor in any application that accepts text input. Beyond live dictation, it can transcribe audio and video files (such as WAV, MP3, MP4, and MOV). It supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, with automatic language detection, plus customizable post-processing rules, overlay appearance, and microphone options. Preferences can sync across Macs via iCloud. It requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon (M1 or later). The app is aimed at people who want faster text entry than typing, professionals needing quick transcription, and users with typing difficulties (arthritis, RSI, tremor, and similar accessibility needs).
