Comparing 3 Tools That Suit Japanese Meetings
Otter in the previous article was strong at English. If you mainly handle Japanese meetings, choosing among tl;dv, Notta, and Fireflies is realistic. Each has a different strength, so pick by use. Prices and plans change often, so always check the official site before subscribing (below is a rough guide as of May 2026).
tl;dv: For Those Who Want to Start Free
- Integrates with Zoom / Google Meet / Microsoft Teams
- Generous free plan; recording/transcription itself is near-unlimited, with a cap on AI summary count
- Supports 30+ languages; integrates with Slack and calendar
- AI Q&A to ask past meetings; timestamped sharing
Pricing guide: usable from free; paid raises AI-summary caps and team features (roughly USD 20–60/user/mo band).
Notta: For Those Prioritizing Japanese Accuracy
- Strength in Japanese accuracy (developed by a Japanese company, Japanese UI and support)
- Supports Webex / Zoom / Meet / Teams; multilingual translation
- Rich minutes templates; custom vocabulary for proper nouns works in Japanese too
