Spellar vs. Tactiq

Spellar and Tactiq serve distinctly different use cases within the AI notetaking space. Spellar excels as a communication improvement tool, offering detailed performance metrics and pronunciation feedback, making it ideal for individuals or teams focused on enhancing their speaking skills. However, its limited customization and organization features make it unsuitable for serious notetaking needs.

Conversely, Tactiq shines as a proper meeting documentation tool with robust search, organization, and customization options, though it lacks audio capture and advanced performance tracking.

Advantages of Spellar

Spellar is significantly better at performance tracking

Spellar provides comprehensive real-time stats on speaking performance, including talking speed, loudness, English fluency metrics (accent, vocabulary, volume, pace), and filler word usage. This is vastly superior to Tactiq's basic speaker time percentage tracking, making Spellar ideal for users focused on improving their communication skills.

Spellar offers superior mobile app functionality

Unlike Tactiq which lacks mobile capabilities, Spellar provides an excellent mobile app experience with seamless desktop integration. During testing, we found the mobile interface particularly user-friendly - users simply press 'Start' to begin recording and can immediately interact with the AI assistant. This makes Spellar much better suited for teams needing to capture in-person meetings.

Advantages of Tactiq

Tactiq is significantly more customizable for note-taking workflows
While Spellar only offers basic note generation with fixed formats, we found Tactiq provides extensive customization through 'Kits' (custom templates) and workflow creation. Users can set up detailed workflows with options for saving to spaces, adding labels, and writing custom AI prompts, making it particularly valuable for teams with specific note-taking requirements that Spellar cannot accommodate.
Tactiq offers far superior search and organization capabilities

Unlike Spellar's complete lack of search functionality, we found Tactiq provides robust keyword search across meetings with multiple filtering options including date, participants, tags, and spaces. This makes it much more practical for teams needing to reference past meetings, which is extremely difficult in Spellar.

Tactiq has significantly better integration options
While Spellar connects with only a handful of apps, Tactiq offers integration with major platforms including Zapier (enabling connections to 2000+ apps), Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive. This makes Tactiq much more versatile for teams using various business tools that Spellar cannot connect with.

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

Tactiq is best for

  • Businesses with low meeting volume (5-10 meetings per week) who want real-time transcription without audio/video storage
  • Who need highly customizable note templates and workflows for generating meeting insights
  • And/or who want robust search capabilities across meeting transcripts with filtering by date, participants, and topics

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

Tactiq is less good for

  • Businesses with high meeting volume (20-50 meetings per week) who need comprehensive meeting documentation
  • Who need advanced speaker identification and in-depth engagement analytics for multiple participants
  • And/or who need cross-meeting AI insights and mobile recording capabilities for in-person meetings

Stackfix Verdict
Functionality
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>
3

Functionality

3/10

<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

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>
6

Ease of Use

6/10

<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

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>
5

Look and feel

5/10

<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

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>
8

Customisability

8/10

<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>

<p>Self-serve, no sales calls. Editable note templates ("Kits") with guided input boxes for creation. Basic setup takes&nbsp;10-15 minutes. Native workflow builder allows workflows in&nbsp;30-40 minutes. Requires Chrome extension.</p>

<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

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>

Integratability

7/10

<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

Ease of Migration

6/10

<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

Ease of Migration

4/10

<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>
