What makes the list

Every tool on this page passes four tests:

You get the full, word-for-word transcript as text you can keep. A summary isn’t enough: it’s someone else’s version of what was said.
It works where you talk: Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, and for some, phone calls and in person.
It tells everyone the call is being recorded, or gives you a way to.
The price is published.

Prices are per user per month, in US dollars, from each vendor’s own pages.
