What they are

Krisp

Krisp runs as a virtual audio device on your desktop, stripping background noise from both sides of a call in real time and processing audio locally so your voice never hits the cloud. It has since expanded into a full meeting assistant: bot-free transcription, AI summaries, action items, and real-time accent conversion for Indian, Filipino, and Latin American English speakers. Podcasters, remote workers, and call center teams use it. The AI summaries are functional but less polished than those from note-taking-focused rivals.

SquadCast

SquadCast is a browser-based remote recording platform that captures separate, high-quality audio and video tracks from each participant locally, then uploads them progressively to the cloud. Podcasters and video creators use it to record remote interviews without the audio degradation of Zoom or phone calls. The progressive upload feature protects recordings from connection drops, which is a genuine differentiator, though storage limits on lower tiers can be a friction point for high-volume producers.
