Capturing Meeting Recordings and Transcripts Without Bots

Introduction:

Capturing and leveraging meeting data has become a critical need for all sorts of conversations, from team discussion to customer calls. Most solutions today involve deploying bots. For some use-cases bots are the right choice, however for other use-cases bots can add unnecessary complexity, create compliance hurdles, and sometimes even make people uncomfortable.

That’s why we built the Recall.ai Desktop Recording SDK. Built to simplify capturing meeting data, this SDK allows you to get the recording, transcript and metadata directly within your desktop app — without the need for bots.

Why bot-free matters:

Deploying bots in meetings can be a non-starter for teams, especially in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and legal services. Bots can raise privacy concerns, increase compliance risks, and overall make the end user experience an uncomfortable one.

With our Desktop Recording SDK, you can skip the bots entirely. This SDK provides direct access to meeting data, letting you focus on building features that matter to your business.

Key Features:

  1. Meeting recordings and metadata: Access recordings, meeting durations, participant details, and more.

  2. Real-time transcription: Generate transcripts to enable real-time insights for note-taking, coaching, and analysis.

  3. Quick setup: Integrate the SDK into your Electron application in under five minutes.

  4. Platform compatibility: Have integration with the SDK that supports Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, with more platforms planned for the near future.

  5. Compliance: Meet your compliance needs as Recall.ai is SOC2 Type 2, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA Compliant.

Use cases for the Desktop Recording SDK:

Developers across industries are already exploring innovative ways to leverage the Desktop Recording SDK. Here are a few examples:

  • Real-time note-taking: automatically capture and transcribe meeting discussions

  • Telehealth applications: record and log appointments securely for compliance and record-keeping

  • Sales coaching tools: provide actionable feedback on sales calls using real-time transcription and metadata

  • Financial advisory calls: record and store client interactions for auditing purposes
