Functionality | 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> | 3 <p>Tactiq lacks audio capture and requires videos to be imported via link, so there’s no playback with synchronised word highlighting or other advanced features. It offers good functionality for AI notes with custom templates and workflows.</p> |
Ease of Use | 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> | 6 <p>Tactiq is easy to set up and start transcribing. Custom templates are simple to create, and the workflow creator is straightforward to use. The dashboard also has quick action buttons for adding meetings to spaces and sharing them via email, link, or to an integration.</p> |
Look and feel | 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> | 5 <p>The user interface is clean and fairly basic, as it lacks audio and video capturing features. The majority of the interface is for adding comments, tags, and labels, making it more like an advanced notes app.</p> |
Customisability | 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> | 8 <p>Custom templates can be set up in Tactiq, and for finer control, the workflow creator allows you to review and edit meeting information step by step. The workflow offers options such as:</p><ul><li>Save to a space</li><li>Add a label</li><li>Share to integration</li><li>Review before proceeding</li><li>Yes/no condition</li><li>AI: Write your own prompt</li></ul> |
Ease of Setup | 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> | 6 <p>Self-serve, no sales calls. Editable note templates ("Kits") with guided input boxes for creation. Basic setup takes 10-15 minutes. Native workflow builder allows workflows in 30-40 minutes. Requires Chrome extension.</p> |
Customer Support | 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> | 7 <p>Has a help centre with nearly 100 self-help articles and an inbuilt AI chatbot to answer questions. You can also chat with a human agent during business hours, with responses typically within a few minutes.</p> |
Integratability | 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> | 7 <p>Tactiq has built itself strong suite of integrations. Our favourites include AI creating tickets of in Linear, updating knowledge bases on Notion and sharing insights in Slack. </p> |
Ease of Migration | 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> | 4 <p>Tactiq cannot capture audio or video, so only the transcript and notes can be exported. These can be downloaded in .pdf or .txt format, or shared via link, email, or through quick share options for integrated apps.</p> |
