Notta keeps the conversation ready across devices.
It supports live text, uploads, sharing, mobile capture, and a workspace where past conversations can be searched and reused.
Transcrio for Mac
A Notta alternative for Mac recordings saved to your own folder.
Notta combines live transcription, translation, sharing, and multiple capture methods in one account. Transcrio records microphone and Mac audio first, then saves the source recording and optional text in your chosen folder.
Short answer
Notta keeps live transcripts and recordings in a cross-device workspace.
Choose Notta when you need live text, translation, uploads, mobile access, sharing, or team features. Choose Transcrio when a Mac recording should finish as source audio and optional text files in your own folder without a separate export step.
Transcrio starts and ends with files on your Mac.
It records microphone and system audio, keeps the source file whether or not you transcribe, and saves generated text beside the recording.
Notta vs Transcrio
Both can record without a bot. Choose live services or default local files.
Notta Desktop records bot-free on Mac and Windows, so a hidden participant is not the useful distinction. The choice is whether you need Notta's live, connected workspace or a Mac recorder that writes the finished files into your own folder by default.

What you can take with you
Notta supports exports. Transcrio saves the session files by default.
Notta can export transcripts and original audio files from its workspace on Pro and higher plans. Transcrio removes that extra step: every completed recording leaves source audio on the Mac, with text files added when transcription is enabled.
Use Notta when web and mobile access matters beside the desktop app.
Use Notta for live transcription, translation, or imported recordings.
Use Transcrio when the source recording should land in your Mac folder automatically.
Add a transcript and optional summary after recording when you need text.
Where each one fits
Choose what you need during and after the recording.
Notta makes more sense when...
- You want live transcription, bilingual translation, or AI notes while the conversation is happening.
- Your recordings should stay available across desktop, web, and mobile devices.
- You need file uploads, screen recording, sharing, integrations, or a team workspace.
- On-device transcription through Notta Privacy Mode fits your supported device and plan.
Transcrio makes more sense when...
- You want the completed source recording placed in your chosen Mac folder by default.
- The audio may come from a call, browser video, lecture, voice note, or another Mac app.
- You can wait until after recording for the transcript and optional summary.
- You do not need live translation, mobile capture, file imports, or a shared meeting workspace.

Open in a new tabBefore you switch
Transcrio does not replace Notta's live transcription, translation, or team workspace.
Transcrio has no live transcript, mobile app, file import, bilingual translation, shared conversation workspace, or native CRM sync. Recording works without the internet, but creating text uses online processing after the session.
Transcrio requires macOS 15 or newer. Notta Desktop supports Mac and Windows, while its broader service also includes web, iOS, Android, and Chrome surfaces.
