How it works
- Upload audio or video Phone recordings, Zoom mp4s, existing transcripts, agendas or term lists — plus attendee names so speakers map to real people. One of them is enough.
- Pick style and language Standard minutes, sales follow-up, interview notes or one-page brief; Chinese, English or bilingual — the output reshapes itself around your pick.
- Take the Word minutes Full minutes on the page plus an editable .docx download — with the follow-up email or action tracker where relevant. Unclear spots stay flagged for review.
FAQ
- Notta free plan: how many minutes?
- As grabbed on 2026-10-27, Notta's free plan gives about 120 transcription minutes per month and needs no credit card — an email signup is enough. Watch the fine print though: single live sessions and monthly AI summaries are capped, so heavy users hit the paywall fast. Always re-check the pricing page; it changes often.
- Can Notta transcribe a screenshot?
- No — and neither does Loomi. Notta only handles things with sound: live microphone recording, meeting transcription, uploaded mp3/m4a/mp4 files. A JPG or PNG gets a format error. For a lone screenshot use your phone's OCR first (iPhone Live Text, Google Lens), then paste the text here and Loomi will still tidy it into minutes.
- How do I get accurate transcripts?
- Record clearly, set the language right, fix fast: put the phone in the middle of a quiet room, pick the correct language (auto-detect for mixed Chinese-English), import names and project terms into the word bank beforehand, and ask people not to talk over each other. After transcription, search-and-replace the frequent homophone mistakes and re-listen to key numbers at double speed.
- Notta vs Otter: which is better?
- For Chinese meetings, iFlytek and Feishu Minutes usually win on accuracy and are free or cheap; for English or cross-border meetings Notta is the balanced pick with 58 languages; pure-English teams often prefer Otter's summaries. Loomi is a different animal: it does not do live meetings at all — it is the after-the-recording tidy-up with Word, tracker and email deliverables.
- Is Notta accurate?
- Is Notta accurate? Check it the same way for any tool: listen to the first five minutes at 0.75x speed against the text — if names, terms or numbers are wrong more than a couple of times, stay cautious. Watch [unclear] flags, confused speakers and jumping timestamps. Loomi's rule is simple: anything unclear is marked [unclear + timestamp], and every decision, name and number must trace back to the transcript.
- Notta pricing: how much does it cost?
- As grabbed on 2026-10-27, Notta Pro is around $8.17/month billed yearly (about $14.99 monthly), with higher tiers for teams. Light users often survive on the free 120 minutes; meeting-heavy teams usually pay. Loomi takes the other approach: one upload, everything returned at once, no per-minute meter — try your first tidy-up free.
