When JotMe is the better fit
- You translate video calls daily from a Mac or Windows computer and want a desktop app that captures the computer’s sound.
- You need a language that is not in All Voices’ list; JotMe lists more.
- You want an iPhone app.
When All Voices is the better fit
- Your meetings are irregular, and you would rather buy hours once than have monthly minutes reset.
- You meet in person and want one phone on the table to label everyone in the room.
- Guests should follow on their phones without entering an email address.
- You want the summary in your language and in your client’s, from the same meeting.
- You work from an Android phone or from a browser on any computer.
