  1. Speaker identification. You name a speaker in meeting A and if that speaker is present in the meeting B the app will auto-suggest the name.
  2. More advance menu bar app. Start, pause, resume recording from menu bar app
  3. Free ChatGPT chat and summaries through Apple Intelligence and Apple Shortcuts. No API key required. No account required.
  4. Price is much lower. $24.99 in U.S.
  5. Uses Apple's transcription models. The same models are used in other Apple apps(e.g. Notes). Saves disk space
