Functionality | 8 <p>It offers strong core AI notetaker functionality, capturing audio/video and providing insights through custom templates or its AI assistant. It also includes advanced features tailored for candidate interviews, such as side-by-side comparisons and detailed reporting on engagement and meeting stats.</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 | 8 <p>It’s easy to set up and use. The custom templates are simple to configure, and the summary can be regenerated with a single click. The assistant offers good controls to customise the output format. Interview comparisons are easy to view by selecting two interviews, and the "Views" are straightforward to set up for generating interview reports.</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 | 8 <p>The user interface is polished and well-designed, avoiding feature overload on any page. Notes and transcripts can be viewed side by side, making efficient use of space to display notes, video, and transcript together. The comparisons page is tidy, presenting side-by-side comparisons clearly by keeping the topic on one line with the two comparisons displayed below. The "Views" page is well-organised, with filters at the top, results displayed compactly, and charts neatly arranged on the side.</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 | 9 <p>The templates offer detailed control over how summaries are generated, allowing custom setups for identified topics. Both the summaries and AI assistant responses are highly customisable. The "Views" page provides advanced filtering options and extensive control over creating reports, making it easy to find meetings based on topics discussed and other criteria.</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 | 8 <p>Self-serve, no sales calls. Easy setup for ATS, Calendly, and calendar integrations. Basic setup takes 10-15 minutes. Native workflow builder is intuitive, enabling advanced workflows in 30-40 minutes.</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 | 6 <p>Has a great Help Centre with a search feature for in-depth self-help articles. Support is available via email, with responses typically 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>It integrates with major scheduling tools like Calendly, Google Calendar, and Outlook, as well as ATS platforms such as Ashby, Greenhouse, and Lever, among others. Some Zapier integrations are also available.</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 | 6 <p>Meetings and "Views" (their version of reports) can be shared via email or link with access controls. Notes and transcripts can be copied, transcripts can be downloaded as PDFs, and video recordings are also available for download.</p> | 6 <p>The summary notes can be quickly shared to integrated apps like Google Docs, Craft, Notion, and Confluence.
