Yes — ChatGPT can turn a meeting into minutes, either by summarising a transcript you paste in or with its macOS Record mode. Here's how each works, where each falls short, and when a dedicated transcription tool is the better call.

Zoom can transcribe your meetings, but the good transcript is locked behind a paid plan and cloud recording, the summary needs AI Companion, and a recent change means you can no longer save the live captions. Here's exactly what Zoom does on its own, where the walls are, and how to record a call and turn it into a clean multilingual transcript plus a structured summary in Subanana.

Rev is the established enterprise transcription incumbent — human-verified accuracy, HIPAA + CJIS compliance, broad enterprise integrations.
