What Quill is
Quill is a meeting recorder and transcription app for macOS and Windows, with companion recording apps for iPhone and Android. It records and transcribes on the user’s computer without a meeting bot and supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, Webex, FaceTime, and in-person meetings. Features include AI summaries, speaker labels, action-item tracking, note templates, meeting recording, and a searchable archive. Audio, transcripts, and notes remain on the user’s computer, and offline use supports recording, transcription, speaker identification, and searching or editing past meetings. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited recordings and transcripts with local transcription. Lite costs $6.99 a month for 16 hours of pro meetings monthly; Unlimited costs $16.99 a month; Teams costs $12 a month with a five-seat minimum.
