Overview

Notta, founded in 2020, transcribes and summarizes meetings across a wide range of languages, with particularly strong support for Japanese alongside major European and Asian languages, useful for international teams or anyone working regularly with non-English source audio that some competitors handle less reliably.

Beyond meetings, Notta also transcribes uploaded audio and video files across other formats, interviews, lectures, podcasts, extending past live meeting capture into a broader transcription utility for any recorded audio a user already has.

A free tier covers limited transcription minutes, and paid plans start around $8 a month for more volume. For anyone specifically needing reliable transcription across a wide range of languages, Japanese in particular, or wanting one tool covering both live meetings and previously recorded audio files, Notta's language breadth and file-transcription flexibility address both needs directly.
