Why pick Mictoo
No 3-minute per-file limit
Notta's 3-minute free limit per file is too short for a podcast, lecture, or interview. Mictoo handles full ~25-minute audio files for free.
No monthly minute quota
Notta tracks every minute against a 120-min/month free quota. Mictoo only caps individual file size — drop one file or several, no minute counting.
AI summary on the free tier
Notta puts AI summaries on paid plans. Mictoo generates a summary with key points and action items free, every time.

Frequently asked questions
Is Mictoo really free with no minute quota?
Yes. The only limit is the per-file size (25 MB, which fits roughly 25 minutes at typical podcast bitrates). There's no monthly minute tracking and no file count limit.
Why does Notta limit free users so heavily?
Notta uses a freemium model where the free tier is intentionally limited to encourage paid upgrades. Mictoo's model is ad-supported, so the free tier is generous by design.
How does Mictoo make money if it's free?
Display ads (Google AdSense), shown in the loading state while a file is being transcribed. The transcript itself and the upload area are ad-free.
Does Mictoo support live meeting transcription?
No — Mictoo works on recorded files only. For live capture, use your meeting platform's built-in captions (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams) and upload the recording to Mictoo afterwards for a polished transcript.
What languages does Mictoo support?
OpenAI Whisper handles 50+ languages with automatic detection — English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, and many more. No need to select the language unless auto-detection picks wrong.
