Keep this client off AI: on
Meetings in this folder are never sent to any AI model: no summary, no Ask, and AI tools reading through MCP cannot see them.
Still recorded and transcribed on this computer.
Meetings, 2
For anyone who wants sensitive meetings recorded safely and the notes written for them: lawyers, accountants, HR teams, consultants, and every business in between.
Board meetings, client sit-downs, interviews.
Open your laptop and Softspoken takes the minutes: who said what, what was decided, who owes what by when. No phone in the middle of the table, and nothing recorded ever leaves the room.
Boardroom, 9:04 am
Zoom and Teams, with nothing in the participant list.
Video call, 11:30 am
Can we bring the launch forward a week?
Only if the audit closes first.
Decision: the launch moves only when the audit closes. Ask again Friday.
Softspoken listens from your computer, so no bot joins the call and no recording is uploaded. Notes and actions are ready before you are back at your desk.
Three times faster than typing.
Hold a key and talk, in any app. Speech runs about 150 words a minute against 40 typed, so an hour of typing becomes twenty minutes of talking. The words land at your cursor, in your own voice.

Grounded answers from your own meeting library, with every claim linked to the meeting it came from. The search runs on your computer; only the lines that matter are sent for the answer, and only when you ask.
MCP support connects your meeting library to Claude and the other MCP-capable tools you already use. Ask about your meetings from anywhere you work, while the library itself never leaves your machine.
Recording and on-device transcription happen on the machine in front of you. There is no upload, no vendor holding your meetings, and nothing to leak.

Partly means a phone app, separate hardware, a single-platform feature or a separate mode rather than the product's main path.

As shown on each product's own website, checked again 7 October 2026; Copilot from Microsoft's public documentation. Partly means a phone app, separate hardware, a single-platform feature or a separate mode rather than the product's main path.
The last row was read on each product's own pages on 9 October 2026. Off AI means the meetings are still recorded and transcribed and are never sent to an AI model, while the rest of the library keeps AI; Softspoken sets it by folder. Granola is Partly: an administrator can close a chosen space to workspace API keys, while its own AI notes and chat still cover those meetings. Copilot is Partly: an organiser can turn Copilot off for one meeting, which also turns its recording and transcription off, and administrators can keep labelled files and chosen sites from Copilot. Several of these products can be set not to record chosen meetings at all, and Otter can switch its AI features off for a whole Enterprise workspace.
