Shortlist Wave when recording browser-based meetings without a bot joining matters most, and Zeemo when auto-generating and styling captions for social media and youtube videos matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

Wave is a cross-platform AI note taker and recorder that captures meetings, phone calls, lectures, and voice memos and converts them into speaker-labeled transcripts and concise summaries with key points and action items. It works without sending a bot into a call, offering tab audio capture for recording browser-based meetings, a combined mode that captures both tab audio and the microphone, and a quick voice-memo option for short recordings. Wave is available across a wide range of platforms, including iOS and Android apps, a web app, Mac and Windows, and a Chrome extension, so users can record and review notes on whichever device they are using, including in-person meetings captured directly from a phone's microphone. Transcription and summarization support dozens of languages, and the service stores recordings in secure cloud storage with encryption and states that user data is not used to train AI models. Wave is aimed at professionals, students, and content creators who want a flexible, multi-device tool for recording, transcribing, and organizing spoken content without a meeting bot. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
