Recount is a meeting recorder for Windows, Mac and Linux that captures audio from your microphone and computer without joining the call. It transcribes meetings locally on your device and identifies speakers automatically. With Recount Pro, Claude AI writes meeting notes and provides additional features like sync, voice enhancement and exports.

Shopper questions

Is Recount really free?

Yes. Unlimited recording, transcription, speaker labels, voice recognition, editing, notes, task board, import, and text and Markdown export are free forever. You only need a free account created with an email code and no card. Recount Pro ($12/month) adds AI meeting notes, sync, voice enhancement, exports and search. Your first 3 recorded meetings and 1 imported recording get Pro free.

Does Recount upload my recordings?

No. Recordings never leave your computer, and transcription runs on your computer too. If you use AI features, only the transcript text is sent to Claude for note writing. If you use sync, transcripts and notes are end-to-end encrypted so only your computers can read them, and audio is never synced.

Which languages does Recount transcribe?

English only at the moment. The speech recognition Recount runs on your computer supports English only, so meetings in other languages will not transcribe well.

Do I need permission to record a meeting?

Often, yes. Recording laws differ by place and some require everyone on the call to agree. Recount does not announce itself in the meeting, so it is up to you to tell people you are recording and get their consent.

Is there an AI note taker that does not join the meeting as a bot?

Yes. Recount records the meeting from your own computer instead of sending a bot into the call, so nobody sees a "notetaker has joined" participant. It captures your microphone and your computer's audio, which works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex and any other app. On a Mac, recording the computer's audio needs macOS 14.2 or later.
