Notion’s meeting notes are bot-free and land right in your team’s Notion, but they need the Business plan and don’t keep the audio. recd keeps the audio, transcript and notes in your Drive, and records your screen too.
Notion transcribes and summarises meetings into a Notion page, captured by the Notion app. recd records the call on your Mac and saves the audio, transcript and notes to your Google Drive.
