Metaview vs. Spellar

Spellar and Metaview serve distinctly different purposes in the AI notetaking space. Spellar excels as a tool for improving spoken English, offering detailed pronunciation feedback and fluency metrics, making it ideal for non-native English speakers or those looking to improve their speaking skills. However, its severe limitations in core note-taking features make it unsuitable for serious meeting documentation needs.

Metaview, conversely, is a comprehensive meeting documentation platform with robust customization, search, and organization features, making it particularly valuable for recruiting teams and organizations requiring detailed meeting analytics and documentation.

Advantages of Metaview

Metaview is significantly better at customizing meeting notes
Metaview's custom templates offer granular control over note generation, with options to adjust length, format, pronouns, and language. Unlike Spellar, which only allows basic length adjustments, Metaview lets users create rules for specific keywords and topics, making it particularly valuable for teams needing consistent, formatted documentation.
Metaview offers vastly superior search and organization capabilities
While Spellar lacks any search functionality, Metaview provides advanced filtering in 'Views' for conversational elements, event details, and custom parameters. This makes it much easier for teams to find specific information across multiple meetings, which is essential for organizations handling large volumes of meetings.
Metaview has a more polished and practical interface
We find Metaview's interface efficiently displays notes, video, and transcript together, with clear side-by-side comparisons. Unlike Spellar's mandatory dark mode, Metaview's interface prioritizes usability and efficient information display.
Metaview provides superior integration capabilities

Metaview offers more comprehensive integration options, including Zapier support for connecting with over 2000 apps, plus native integrations with major ATS platforms. This makes it more versatile for teams using multiple tools.

Advantages of Spellar

Spellar offers superior mobile recording capabilities

Spellar's mobile app is exceptionally user-friendly with seamless desktop sync and instant AI assistance for in-person meetings. In contrast, Metaview only offers basic phone call recording without a dedicated mobile app.

Spellar is significantly better at tracking speaking performance

Spellar provides detailed real-time stats on talking speed and loudness, plus assessments of English fluency covering accent, vocabulary, volume, pace, and filler words.

Metaview is best for

  • Businesses with high meeting volume (20-50 meetings per week) conducting regular recruitment interviews
  • Who need highly customizable reports and detailed engagement analytics for recruitment meetings
  • And/or who want advanced ATS integrations and side-by-side interview comparisons

Spellar is best for

  • Businesses with teams looking to improve their English communication skills
  • Who need feedback on pronunciation and grammar
  • And/or who need basic meeting transcription with minimal customization requirements

Metaview is less good for

  • Businesses with low meeting volume (5-10 meetings per week) who need basic notetaking without recruiting-specific features
  • Who need keyword search functionality within meetings
  • And/or who need mobile app access for recording in-person meetings

Spellar is less good for

  • Businesses with teams that need to collaborate on and organize meeting content
  • Who need to customize and edit their meeting notes and transcripts
  • And/or who need to search and analyze content across multiple meetings

Stackfix Verdict
Functionality
8

Functionality

8/10

<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

Functionality

2/10

<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

Ease of Use

8/10

<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

Ease of Use

4/10

<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

Look and feel

8/10

<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

Look and feel

3/10

<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

Customisability

9/10

<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

Customisability

1/10

<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

Ease of Setup

8/10

<p>Self-serve, no sales calls. Easy setup for ATS, Calendly, and calendar integrations. Basic setup takes&nbsp;10-15 minutes. Native workflow builder is intuitive, enabling advanced workflows in&nbsp;30-40 minutes.</p>
7

Ease of Setup

7/10

<p>Self-serve, no sales calls. No editable note templates or customization. Basic setup takes&nbsp;10-15 minutes. No advanced workflows supported, no Zapier templates or native builder. Requires desktop app installation.</p>

<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

Integratability

6/10

<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

Integratability

3/10

<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
