I spend most of my work day on MS Teams working with remote development, UX and client teams on development projects. Since losing a chunk of my hearing in my left ear a few weeks ago I’ve been looking at tools to help me make out speech both in person and online.
I’ve got some aids on trail with Boots for in person but I’ve also tried a few meeting caption and capture tools.
While I now have the MS Teams captioning tool turned on, it is not that accurate (but it does **** out profanity, no matter how mild). However reading, talking and taking notes is a bit of a challenge, so I’ve tried a few other tools.
AIDE uses ChatGPT to both capture transcriptions (and does a very good job of it) but them pushes that transcription through a prompt (there are a few built in ones but you can create your own) to summarise the call/meeting.
KRISP is similar but more polished. While you cannot edit the prompts, it does a really good job of both capturing a transcript and produces a set of minutes with actions etc. It recognises the different voices and if you give them names, it uses them in the minutes/summary to attribute decisions and actions. It remembers the voices across different meetings (which is useful but you wonder about GDPR issues). KRISP at adds noise reduction filters if you or the others are talking from noisy environments.
Grain is another tool but I’ve not tried it yet.
Do you know of or can you recommend any others?
