Meeting Transcription

MeetWave is AI transcription software that captures your meetings without sending a bot into the call. Record with the Windows desktop app or the MeetWave Chrome extension (any OS with Chrome), and get accurate automatic transcription in 7 languages. The transcript becomes the foundation for AI summaries, analysis, and action items — available in the app or at app.meetwave.io.

The Problem

Traditional transcription tools require a bot to join your call, alerting everyone you are recording and changing how people speak. And the transcription itself is just the beginning — a raw transcript is rarely useful without further processing.

How It Works

Step 1

Audio capture without a bot

The Windows desktop app captures system audio and microphone simultaneously from any meeting platform. On Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS, the MeetWave Chrome extension records web calls straight from the browser tab. Either way, no bot joins.

Step 2

AI transcription

Audio is transcribed by speech-to-text AI with support for 7 languages. Speaker identification helps distinguish who said what.

Step 3

From transcript to insights

The transcript powers 15+ AI analysis types — summaries, action items, risk assessments, and more. Transcription is the foundation, not the end product.

Yes. Recordings are uploaded to your MeetWave account and transcribed on our servers; the audio, transcript and summary are stored encrypted in your account, so you can reopen them on any computer at app.meetwave.io. Your meetings are never used to train AI models.

Yes. MeetWave uses speaker identification to distinguish between participants, making transcripts easier to follow and AI analysis more accurate.
