    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).

    Strongly recommend for all Sales teams, Customer Success teams, Partnerships teams. Basically anywhere where there is an external stakeholder and you have a continuous cadence of meetings set for regular engagement. Have seen it be very productive as we have a lot to catch up on regular progress items based on previous discussions that would have happened. Great for the use case when you are not able to join the meeting at all and your tl;dv assistant basically gives you a complete download of the call.

    Cons
    NCH Software
    • 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

    • We face some challenges sometimes when tldv doesn't join the meeting properly. It blocks us and we have to rum some other notetaker we have. This usually happens when some person has the setting to have tldv always joining the meeting that the person is invited to. In this case, there's a conflict between the notetakers and we have to resolve them.

    tl;dv has an advantage over Gemini wherein it can follow a template if there is a preset. Gemini's greatest advantage is its Google integration, and how much more it can do with the LLM if I had follow-up questions

    Return on Investment
    NCH Software
    • 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

    • Has helped save me at least 5 hrs weekly to help me draft Meeting summaries quickly
    • Helps keep me track of partner progress where each of the partners is driving $100K+ in Business and keep my followups on progress very professional
    • Having a schedule of 20+ meetings on a avg., I have tried multiple AI assistants but settled for tl;dv pro
