Best Granola Alternative That Records Meeting Video

Digiotouch AI is a good choice for teams that like Granola's notes but also need the meeting video, the slides, and more languages. Granola is a bot-free notepad that keeps your notes and a transcript, but it does not record video and does not save the audio. Digiotouch AI records the meeting as video and audio, keeps a copy on your own computer, and lets you ask its AI assistant what was on the slides. It also supports 130+ languages, including Estonian, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, which Granola's transcription does not cover, and it does not use your meetings to train AI models.

Liis leads a customer team at a software company in Tallinn. She likes how Granola cleans up her rough notes after each call, and the no-bot capture keeps meetings relaxed. But two things keep tripping her up. When a colleague misses the product demo, there is no video to send them; Granola keeps the notes and a transcript, but not the recording. And when a meeting runs in Estonian, or someone walks the room through a slide, the notes miss what she needs, because the numbers were on the screen and her language is not on Granola's list. She wants to keep the parts of Granola she likes, and also get the video, the slides, and her own language.

Why choose Digiotouch AI instead of Granola?

• It records the meeting video and keeps a copy on your computer: Granola keeps your notes and a transcript, but it records no video and does not store the audio. Digiotouch AI records the meeting as video and audio and saves a copy to your own computer, so you can rewatch it or send it to someone who missed the call.
• You can ask its AI assistant about the slides: Both tools have an AI chat, but Granola only hears the audio, so it has no record of what was on the screen. Digiotouch AI takes in the slides shared on screen, so you can ask its assistant what a chart or a number showed.
• It supports 130+ languages, including Estonian, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish: Granola's transcription covers 10 languages on desktop, with none of these Nordic or Baltic languages. Digiotouch AI supports 130+ languages, so more of your team can work in its own language.
• It does not train AI models on your content: Digiotouch AI never uses your meetings to train AI models. Granola lets you opt out of model training on every plan, which means training is on unless you turn it off.
• It works on Android and in a browser too: Granola runs on Mac, Windows, and iPhone, but it has no Android app and no web version. Digiotouch AI works on desktop, the web, iPhone, and Android.

Why do people look for a Granola alternative?

Granola is a well-liked tool, and for many people it does exactly what they want: clean notes with no bot in the call. People start looking at other options when they need something Granola leaves out. The two that come up most are the recording itself, since Granola keeps notes and a transcript but no video, and language, since its transcription covers a short list. On G2 and Capterra, these are the points that decide the choice, and they are the ones a simple feature list often skips. If you are still deciding whether you need a tool like this at all, our complete guide to AI notes is a better place to start.

What should a good meeting tool do?

Start from three questions. Does the tool keep the actual meeting, so you can rewatch it or send it to someone who missed it? Does it capture everything, including what is on the slides? And does it work in the languages your team speaks?

The first is about the recording. Notes and a transcript are useful, but sometimes you need the meeting itself: the demo, the exact wording, the moment a decision was made. If the tool does not keep a video, that is gone.

The second is about the slides. In many business meetings, the important part is on the screen: the plan, the price, the numbers. A tool that only hears the audio does not have any of that.

The third is about language. If the tool does not transcribe the language your team speaks, the notes will be weak no matter how good the rest of the tool is.

How Digiotouch AI handles this: It records the meeting as video and audio and keeps a copy on your own computer, its AI assistant can answer questions about the slides shared on screen, and it supports 130+ languages, including Estonian, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish.

Does Granola record video?

No. Granola is a notepad, not a recorder. It listens to the meeting audio, writes a transcript, and enhances your notes, but it does not record video, and it does not keep the audio afterwards. Like Digiotouch AI, it does this without a bot in the call, so that part is common ground. The difference is what you are left with.

With Granola you get notes and a transcript. With Digiotouch AI you also get the meeting itself. It records the video and audio and saves a copy to your own computer. If a colleague misses the demo, you can send them the recording. If you need to check exactly what was said or shown, it is there.

The slides are part of this too. Granola only hears the audio, so anything shown on screen, like a chart or a set of numbers, is not in its record. Digiotouch AI takes in the slide content, so you can ask its AI assistant about it later instead of guessing from the audio.

How Digiotouch AI handles this: It records the meeting as video and audio and keeps a copy on your own computer, and its AI assistant can answer questions about the slides shared on screen. Granola keeps only notes and a transcript, with no video and no slide content.

What languages does Granola support, and what does it cost?

Granola's transcription covers 10 languages on desktop: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Russian, and Hindi. That list has no Nordic or Baltic languages, so Estonian, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish are not covered. For teams in those markets, that is a real gap. Digiotouch AI supports 130+ languages, including all five of those: Estonian, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, so more of your team can work in its own language.

On price, Granola is simple and good value if notes are all you need: its Business plan is 14 USD per user a month with unlimited notes. Digiotouch AI is priced differently. It has a free plan (300 minutes a month), then Essential at 9 EUR (3,000 minutes) and Professional at 18 EUR (6,000 minutes). The difference is what you get for the money, because Digiotouch AI records the video and keeps a copy, which Granola does not.

There is also your data. Digiotouch AI does not use your meetings to train AI models. Granola lets you opt out of model training on every plan, which means training is on unless you turn it off, though it does not let outside providers like OpenAI or Anthropic train on your data.

How Digiotouch AI handles this: It supports 130+ languages, including Estonian, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, that Granola does not transcribe, and it does not train AI models on your content. You keep the parts that matter for your team and your language.
