Hidden gem A smaller tool fewer people know yet. We list it after the main picks for each job its maker documents; we have not tested it. How we choose them
Quick verdict
tl;dv records Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls, with a bot or bot-free from its desktop app, then transcribes them in 100+ languages and writes AI notes. tl;dv Free records and transcribes without a limit on the number of meetings, up to 3 hours each, but its AI limits are for the lifetime of the account: AI notes for the first 10 meetings, then only the first 10 minutes of each. Free recordings are deleted after 3 months, and downloads need a paid plan. tl;dv Pro is $29 a month per seat, or $18 a month billed yearly ($216 a year paid up front, by our calculation), with unlimited AI notes, unlimited uploads and storage, downloads, Zapier, CRM and API. tl;dv Business is $39 a month per seat, or $29 a month billed yearly ($348 a year, by our calculation), and adds unlimited AI insights across many meetings, custom vocabulary and scheduled reports. One person can buy either paid plan. The pricing page does not say whether tax is included.
On training, tl;dv's privacy policy is clear: it does not use recordings, transcripts, notes or files to train AI models, and its AI providers do not either. It says it may use Anthropic models through Google Cloud Vertex AI. Commercial use of your recordings and notes is not verified: the terms set use restrictions but grant no license either way.
Recording other people needs their consent, so tell everyone on a call before tl;dv records it. This verdict rests on what tl;dv documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.

What it documents for each use
- Business & Productivity Connect AI to the apps I already use · Get notes from my meetings
- Audio & Voice Transcribe recordings and files
A use is listed when at least one plan documents every feature a task needs. Answer quality is a separate question: see below.
Using it day to day
tl;dv runs as a web app and a Chrome extension, as a desktop app for macOS and Windows that records bot-free from system audio, and as iOS and Android apps for in-person meetings. Each recording can run up to 3 hours. Web recordings are capped per week: 40 on Free, 80 on Pro and 120 on Business. Pro and Business allow unlimited file uploads. How many meetings you can record at once is not verified: the pricing table says 2 on Free and 3 on Pro, while the terms say none on Free, 2 on Pro and 3 on Business.
Ask tl;dv AI answers questions about your meetings and drafts follow-ups; it is not a general chat assistant and has no documented web search. Pro gets unlimited questions about a single meeting; multi-meeting questions are limited on Pro (5 on the table, 10 in a help article) and unlimited on Business. Business also adds custom vocabulary, voice prints and custom data retention.
Privacy, data and ads
tl;dv's privacy policy says it does not use your recordings, transcripts, notes, files or other data processed through the service to train AI models, and that its AI providers do not either. It names Anthropic models through Google Cloud Vertex AI as one source of summaries. Downloads need a paid plan for both the meeting owner and the downloader. Whether the apps show ads is not verified. Recording people needs their consent: tell everyone on the call before tl;dv records.
Read the vendor's own page: tl;dv privacy and data controls. We make no legal or compliance claim.
