Express Scribe vs. Fireflies.ai

It has a free trial, which is very nice if someone just needs temporary access to use, and it's not an expensive program overall. It may not be the most robust program available, but it gets the job done at a good price point. It might not be the best if you need something that allows transcriptionists to collaborate (i.e., working on the same file at the same time).

It does the job really well. They were one of the first on the scene and have continually improved overtime. It's crazy affordable, I'm always surprised when I see the $5 monthly charge compared to other apps I pay more for and use a lot less.

• Cost efficient - This is a fairly low-cost transcription software that can be downloaded quickly via web
• Easy to use - New users can get the hang of this software pretty quickly
• Customizable - Foot pedal controls and other preferences can be set based on what feels intuitive to the user

Incentivized

• Helps in transcription & take notes.
• Listening to the meeting is very easy.
• Can be integrated into other various software.
• They also provide the option to download the meeting and the option to like & dislike the recording.
• And I love their soundbites features which I can use to highlight the specific part of the recording for future use.

Incentivized

• Interface - The look and feel of the software is quite dated and could use a refresh
• Enhancing audio - When we need to manipulate an audio file to try to enhance it (amplifying, for example), we have to use another program to do so
• Hotkeys - Setting up hotkeys may not be as intuitive for new users as would be ideal

Incentivized

• Sometimes bot is too slow in the beginning of the meeting, it misses parts of the meeting
• You can not send the recap to people who doesn't have an account
• No built in analytic tools

I started using Fireflies.ai about 1.5 yrs ago. It was - and continues to be - extremely user friendly, very easy to adopt, very easy to navigate and learn.

When we used Chorus.ai in our organization, I thought the Analytics were worthless. Beyond the point I made earlier about using the iOS app doesn't count towards your Engagement score, the only way calls are correctly counted is to the Rep who set up the call. I manage a team of Sales Engineers who support Sales Reps, who typically set up the Zoom session. Chorus.ai doesn't show any stats on my team. However, Fireflies.ai is a virtual assistant that helps you manage your business. It recognizes voice commands from the user and turns them into tasks.

• Very few 'inaudibles' (spots where we're unable to decipher what was said)
• Transcribing allows analysts to read scripts rather than listen to audio files, which saves time and money
• Low cost of software

Incentivized

• It saves efforts of the team since we concentrate on meeting, not on note taking.
• Increases meeting productivity - everybody knows that everything said will be in the notes!
• Minimize wrong information distribution, summary is the same for everybody.
