Comparison
Diurna vs. bot notetakers, honestly.
What changes when nobody has to join the call to record it. Including where we’re behind.
Comparison table
| Feature | Diurna | Bot notetaker |
|---|---|---|
| Who joins the call | Nobody. Your computer records. | A bot, visible to everyone. |
| Where audio is transcribed | On your computer, or on EU servers if you choose. | Usually on the vendor’s servers. |
| In-person meetings | Yes, with voices told apart. | A bot can’t walk into a room. Some offer a separate app. |
| Video call apps | Any app that plays sound on your computer. | The ones the bot can connect to. |
| Source for each item in the minutes | Exact minute, quote verified against the transcript. | Varies by product. |
| Platforms | Recording on Mac (Apple Silicon) and Windows; reading in the browser. | Web, often mobile too. |
| Languages | English and Italian. | Often many more. |
The last two rows are where we’re behind. We’re listing them anyway.
