The open-source tl;dv alternative
tl;dv A meeting recorder that captures Zoom/Meet/Teams calls with a bot, timestamps highlights, and shares clips. ParleyNotes does the same core job — accurate transcripts and AI notes — but as an open-source app that runs entirely in your browser, so your meetings stay private and it’s free for individuals.
Freemium per-seat SaaS; bot-based recording; clips and transcripts hosted in tl;dv's cloud.
