What is an alternative to Otter, Fireflies or tl;dv for client advice meetings?
Updated on
Otter, Fireflies and tl;dv are good general meeting assistants: they join your video calls, transcribe, summarise, and also offer mobile apps. If what you need is a regulated advice document (IDD advice record, MiFID II suitability report), sealed and exportable for an audit, with data hosted in France, Meetingize is built for that specific case.
