Functionality | 6 <p>Offers all the key functionality of a good AI notetaker: recording audio and video, generating AI insights, interacting with an AI assistant, creating automated action items + emails, sharing meeting transcripts and notes etc. - all done with a good level of accuracy.</p> | 2 <p>Spellar offers little beyond pronunciation feedback and lacks core functionality such as search, organization, note editing, and custom templates. This being said, its AI chat co-pilot and meeting summaries are strong features.</p> |
Ease of Use | 7 <p>Getting started on Google Meet with the Chrome extension is quick and straightforward—simply click the blue dot and select "Start Recording" to begin. For other platforms, recordings must be started manually, as the tool doesn’t automatically detect new meetings. The web app itself is very intuitive and easy to use.</p> | 4 <p>Spellar’s limited functionality makes it straightforward to set up, transcribe meetings, and get clear feedback on your pronunciation. The feedback looks good and clearly highlights both your mistakes and the correct alternatives. However, the lack of features like meeting search, organization tools, or note customization makes it difficult to go beyond the basics.</p> |
Look and feel | 7 <p>The design is clean, modern, intuitive, and without unnecessary features. Meeting views are well-organised: the page is split in half, with the video player and notes on one side, and the transcript, insights, and AI chat on the other.</p> | 3 <p>The interface is clean and simple, but the absence of tags, colors, and a keyword search makes organization difficult and finding things challenging. Additionally, the mandatory dark mode feels overly dark, making it hard to see. On the positive side, the feature that highlights mispronounced words in the transcript is a nice touch. If your primary goal is to get feedback on pronunciation, the app serves that purpose fairly well.</p> |
Customisability | 6 <p>Includes a range of predefined meeting note templates, such as sales notes, key takeaways, and screening interviews. Alternatively, you can create custom templates with your own sections. Trackers can be set up to automatically group meetings containing specific keywords.</p> | 1 <p>Beyond choosing the length of the AI summary, customisation options are virtually non-existent. You cannot manually edit the transcript or notes, create custom templates, or organise meetings into folders, leaving you restricted to a chronological order.</p> |
Ease of Setup | 7 <p>Self-serve, no sales calls. Few note templates with guided input boxes for creation. Basic setup takes 10-15 minutes. Automations like auto-sorting are easy to set up, however, there isn't a rich library of predefined Zapier templates. Requires Chrome extension.</p> | 7 <p>Self-serve, no sales calls. No editable note templates or customization. Basic setup takes 10-15 minutes. No advanced workflows supported, no Zapier templates or native builder. Requires desktop app installation.</p> |
Customer Support | 5 <p>You can send messages via chat, typical response time is within 24 hours.</p> | 4 <p>There’s no help centre with self-help articles or an in-app support chat. Support is available via a Slack channel, where questions typically receive a response within a few hours.</p> |
Integratability | 6 <p>Some major integrations are included, such as Slack, HubSpot, and Notion.</p> | 3 <p>Integrates with some common apps like Slack, Notion, and Jira. The biggest weakness is the lack of a Zapier integration, which most AI notetakers have.</p> |
Ease of Migration | 7 <p>Audio and video recordings can be shared via a link, with the option to start playback from a specific timestamp. Creating and sharing clips is simple: just highlight text in the transcript and select "Clip".</p> | 6 <p>The summary notes can be quickly shared to integrated apps like Google Docs, Craft, Notion, and Confluence. There are also options to copy the notes to the clipboard, copy all as plain text, copy only the summary, or copy the summary as plain text. Additionally, the audio recording can be downloaded as an .mp4 file.</p> |
