Works with every call app

Aside records Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, FaceTime and any other call on your computer, without a bot. AI apps like Claude and ChatGPT can then read your meetings.

Why it works everywhere

It listens to your computer, not the call

Aside records your microphone and the sound your computer plays. It doesn’t connect to Zoom, Meet, Teams or any other call app, so no bot joins, nobody gets a join request, there’s nothing to install in the call app and no admin to ask. Whatever your computer can hear, Aside can transcribe.

For English and 24 European languages, the transcript is made on your computer with an on-device speech model (add another language and every call is transcribed online, as on computers too slow to keep up, but for notes-only calls on the free plan). The flip side: Aside has no app-specific features, like reading a participant list, and it records audio, not video. Read bot notetakers vs recording on your computer for the trade-offs.

Using it

The same in every app

Start recording from the menu bar or tray, or with ⌃⌥P or CtrlAltP, take notes from any app with ⌃⌥N or CtrlAltN, and end with ⌃⌥X or CtrlAltX. Aside’s pill and cards are hidden from screen sharing, so only you see them. Tell people you’re recording: laws differ by place, and many require everyone’s consent. See all features and pricing.

Questions

Does Aside work for meetings in the room?

Yes. Aside records your computer’s microphone, so an in-person meeting is transcribed like a call.

Do I need to install anything in Zoom, Meet or Teams?

Which AI apps can read my Aside meetings?
