Jotted App's answer
Jotted came out of hundreds of client meetings that went badly recorded.
The usual notetakers were the obvious place to start. They work, but a bot shows up in the participant list and people talk differently once it does. Clients ask what it is. Sometimes their IT blocks it. And the recording lives on their servers, not yours, so if you stop paying it goes with them.
Screen recording was the next attempt. That gave a video file we actually owned, and usually a transcript with it. But a transcript is not a summary, and it is not a list of what everyone agreed to do. So the transcript went into a third tool to get the action items out.
Three tools, two subscriptions, and part of every afternoon spent moving things between them.
None of them were bad. They were each missing something the others had. The notetakers wrote up the meeting properly but kept the recording. The screen recorders handed you the file and left you to work out what happened in it.
Clients felt it too. They would dig through thin notes for a figure someone quoted, or ask for something to be resent because they remembered the deal differently. The meeting itself, the one thing that could settle any of it, was rarely somewhere anyone could reach.
So Jotted does the whole job. It records from your desktop, keeps the video and every word on your own computer, and has the summary and action items written by the time you hang up. One tool, one price, and the recording is yours.
