tl;dv

Freemium

tl;dv is a transcription and meeting notes tool that records, transcribes, and summarizes video calls for sales and customer success teams. It joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams calls and delivers a written record plus an AI summary afterward.

You get searchable transcripts, clip highlights, and scheduled reports that pull patterns across many meetings. It works in thirty-plus languages and connects to your CRM.

The free plan is unusually deep compared to competitors. Paid tiers add coaching tools, CRM field mapping, and multi-meeting insights.

Open it if you want accurate transcripts with a generous free tier. Skip it if you cannot risk support outages or if you need enterprise-grade permissions.

It fits best when your work looks like this.

• Individual users and small teams: The free plan covers unlimited recordings and basic AI notes. You get real value without paying.
• Users wanting a short learning curve: Setup takes under ten minutes. You do not need training to start using it.
• Sales teams using BANT or MEDDICC: The AI coaching hub scores calls against these playbooks. You see where reps hit or miss the framework.
• Users who process files after meetings: Upload audio or video and get transcripts. Not every tool does this.
• Sales managers needing coaching visibility: Review patterns across rep calls without listening to every hour.
• Managers analyzing trends across many meetings: Schedule recurring reports on topics like objections or competitor mentions.
• Multinational teams: Transcription covers thirty-plus languages with translation.
• Compliance-conscious organizations: SOC 2 and GDPR compliance with EU data centers and no training on your recordings.
• Revenue teams wanting less manual CRM entry: Draft notes and updates flow to HubSpot, Salesforce, and others automatically. You still review before sending.
• Individual contributors needing quick recaps: Get a readable summary ten to fifteen minutes after the call ends.

These are what keep you coming back after the first week.

• Highly accurate transcriptions: Speaker identification comes through clean. You spend less time fixing names and timestamps.
• Fast delivery: Transcripts and summaries arrive in ten to fifteen minutes. You can act on a morning call before lunch.
• Multi-meeting AI insights: Track keywords and patterns across your call history automatically. You spot trends you would miss by hand.
• Meeting templates with CRM mapping: Structure notes around your sales process and push fields straight to your CRM. Less copying and pasting.
• AI reports on a schedule: Set up recurring summaries for standing meetings. You get the highlights without asking each time.
• Generous free plan: Unlimited recordings, ten AI summaries, and five file uploads to start. You can test deeply before paying.

These limits matter for some teams.

• Support that goes silent: Multiple paying users report locked accounts for weeks over simple changes. Billing issues continue after cancellation.
• Visible bot in meetings: It joins as a participant. Clients ask what it is, and you cannot make it invisible.
• No enterprise permissions: Larger teams hit walls on access control and admin settings. It is built for smaller groups.
• Limited mobile experience: The app is Lite only. Full features need desktop. You cannot run your workflow from a phone.
• Business plan price jump: At $29 per user monthly, the value over Pro is questionable for many teams.
• Buggy activation: Users report permissions that jump on calls unexpectedly and login issues that interrupt work.
