Tactiq vs VoxScriber — which is better?

They are complementary tools, not direct competitors. Tactiq (Chrome extension): best for live transcription during the meeting, integrates natively with Google Meet/Zoom. VoxScriber (web tool): best for transcribing recorded files — from any date, any format. Many users use Tactiq for meetings needing real-time notes and VoxScriber for everything else (podcasts, interviews, recorded lectures, meetings not on Meet/Zoom).

Does Tactiq work with old recordings?

No. Tactiq is a Chrome extension that transcribes live during the meeting — it only works if you open the room with the extension active. For meetings that already happened (recordings from weeks ago, client files, recordings made in other apps), Tactiq won't work. VoxScriber accepts any audio/video file regardless of when it was recorded.

Tactiq has a better free plan than VoxScriber?

Tactiq's free plan gives 10 transcriptions/month of live meetings. VoxScriber's free plan gives 30 minutes/month of any file. For someone doing 10+ short meetings a month in Google Meet, Tactiq free is more generous. For anyone needing to transcribe files outside of Meet (recordings, podcasts, interviews), VoxScriber is the only option.

Does Tactiq support Portuguese well?

Tactiq uses Google's speech recognition engine (same as Google Meet). For PT-BR in corporate environments with good audio quality, it works reasonably — 85-90% accuracy. But it makes more errors with regional accents, technical terms, and when multiple speakers overlap. VoxScriber uses AssemblyAI with a specific Portuguese model — 94-97% accuracy with more precise diarization.

How do I transcribe Google Meet meetings without an extension?

Enable recording in Google Meet (3-dot icon → Record meeting). The recording goes to the Google Drive of the account that started it. After the meeting, download the MP4 from Drive and upload to VoxScriber. Result: complete transcript with speaker identification in 2-3 minutes. Benefit: no extension, no bot visible in the room, no dependency on a paid Tactiq plan.

Does Tactiq work with Microsoft Teams?

Yes, Tactiq has Teams integration via Edge/Chrome extension. But it requires the transcribing user to have the extension active and be the host (or have permission). In corporate environments with restrictive IT policies, the extension may be blocked. VoxScriber works with the recorded Teams file (saved in SharePoint/OneDrive) — no extension, no special permissions.

Como funciona

Identify your use case: live or recorded

Tactiq serves live meetings in Google Meet/Zoom/Teams — transcribing in real time during the call. VoxScriber serves any recorded audio/video file. If your workflow is "record the meeting and transcribe later," VoxScriber is the right choice.

Download the meeting recording

Google Meet: recordings go to the Google Drive of the person who started. Zoom: in Documents/Zoom on your computer or Zoom Cloud. Teams: in SharePoint or OneDrive of the channel/chat. All generate MP4 — directly compatible with VoxScriber.

Upload and receive the transcript with speaker identification

Upload the MP4 to VoxScriber → transcript in 2-3 minutes with speaker labeling (Speaker 1, 2, 3...). Export to DOCX for meeting minutes or SRT for subtitles. Rename speakers using find-and-replace (Ctrl+H in your editor).
