Common questions

Can I use Google Meet to transcribe a Zoom meeting?

No. Google Meet only transcribes meetings that happen inside Google Meet. If you need to transcribe Zoom, Teams, or in-person meetings, use Notta instead.

Is Notta free?

Notta has a free plan that gives you 200 minutes of transcription per month. After that, the Pro plan starts at $8.17/month. The free plan is good for light use but won't cover weekly meetings.

Which tool is better for a small business owner on a budget?

If you already use Google Workspace, Google Meet is the better value because AI notes are included. If you use multiple meeting platforms, Notta's $8.17/month Pro plan is worth it for the time saved on note-taking.

Do I need to install anything to use Google Meet?

No. Google Meet works entirely in your web browser on a computer. On a phone, you can download the free app from the App Store or Google Play.

Can Notta generate meeting summaries automatically?

Yes. Notta's AI automatically creates summaries with action items and key decisions after each meeting. You can also ask the AI chat to find specific information across past meetings.

Which tool is better for recording in-person lectures?

Notta is better because you can record audio directly from your phone app and get a transcript. Google Meet is designed for online calls, not in-person recording.

Google Meet is the best free video call tool with AI notes; Notta is the best dedicated transcription tool that works with any meeting — pick based on where your meetings actually happen.

If you just need a solid video call tool that can also take notes, stick with Google Meet — especially if you're already in the Google ecosystem. But if you attend meetings on different platforms and want to turn every conversation into searchable notes, summaries, and even visuals, Notta is the better investment. Try Notta's free 200 minutes first to see if it fits your workflow.
