Fireflies Alternative
Transcribe Meetings Without a Bot

Why pick Mictoo
No bot in your meetings
Some participants are uncomfortable with an AI bot recording the call. With Mictoo, you record locally with Zoom/Meet/Teams and transcribe afterwards.
No signup, no quota
Fireflies' free plan caps you at 800 minutes per user per month and requires OAuth. Mictoo works without an account and without monthly minute counting.
Better for non-English audio
OpenAI Whisper handles 50+ languages with strong accuracy. Fireflies is optimized for English business calls and is weaker on languages like Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, or Korean.

Frequently asked questions
Can Mictoo join my Zoom or Teams meeting like Fireflies?
No. Mictoo doesn't join meetings. You record the call with Zoom/Teams/Meet's built-in recording, then upload the file. This avoids the bot in your meetings and the privacy concerns around it.
How do I get a recording to upload?
In Zoom: enable Local Recording or Cloud Recording in your meeting. After the meeting, download the MP4 or M4A from Zoom and drop it into Mictoo.
Does Mictoo do action items and summary like Fireflies?
Yes. After transcription, Mictoo's AI Summary shows a 2-3 sentence overview, key points, and action items — all on the free tier. Fireflies offers similar features but only on paid plans.
What about meeting analytics?
Mictoo doesn't do talk-time, sentiment, or speaker analytics. If you need conversation intelligence for sales coaching, Fireflies (or Gong) is a better fit.
Is Mictoo safe for confidential meetings?
Files are streamed directly to OpenAI's Whisper API and discarded. Mictoo stores nothing. Per OpenAI's API data policy, your audio is not used for training and is deleted after at most 30 days of abuse monitoring.
