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 VidNotes when professionals extracting action items and decisions from zoom, meet, or teams recordings matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

VidNotes is an AI tool that transcribes videos, meeting recordings, and lectures, then generates summaries, key points, flashcards, and a chat interface in 30+ languages.
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.

VidNotes is an AI-powered transcription and note-taking tool that turns videos, lectures, podcasts, and meeting recordings into structured, searchable text. Users either upload a local file (MP4, MOV, MKV, and more) or paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Vimeo, including exported recordings from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and webinars. Under the hood it runs the audio through OpenAI's Whisper model for speech-to-text, then a large language model produces a summary, key points, timestamped notes, auto-generated flashcards, and extracted action items in the same language as the source. A chat feature lets users ask questions about the content and receive answers with citations, and transcripts and notes can be exported as TXT, PDF, Markdown, or SRT captions. It supports English plus 30+ additional languages and handles mixed languages and varied accents. Aimed at students, researchers, content creators, and professionals, VidNotes is available in the browser, as a Chrome extension, and as iOS and Android apps. The app is published by Silpho LLC.
