Parrot AI, a popular tool for meeting transcription, screen recording, and note-taking, has officially discontinued its services as of January 13, 2025. If you relied on Parrot AI or liked certain features and are now looking for a suitable alternative, I’ve got you covered!
In this article, I’ve compiled a list of reliable Parrot AI alternatives, comparing their features, use cases, and pricing. After all, investing time in learning a tool only for it to shut down is frustrating—you deserve a meeting transcription tool that you can rely on for the long run.
1. Reduct.Video
Reduct’s Live Capture, which works similarly to Parrot AI. You just paste the meeting link on it, and a bot joins your meeting.
Live Capture by Reduct lets you capture Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls live. Your whole team can highlight and comment on the live transcript, and you can share clips as soon as the call ends. The transcript is automatically synced with the audio/video and, therefore, you can search through your media just like Google Docs.
With the Reduct Bot taking notes for you, everyone can fully participate in the discussion without a designated note-taker. You can prioritize important points and immediately receive the key moments and highlights of the meeting.

2. Descript
Descript is a great alternative for meeting transcription, offering accurate transcriptions and built-in screen recording—similar to Parrot AI. This tool is well-known among podcasters and content creators. You can record, edit, and transcribe your videos all in one place—essentially turning your computer into a full production studio.
Unlike other tools in our list, Descript includes advanced AI features like Overdub, which lets you fix mistakes by simply typing corrections. The AI then generates a synthetic voice that matches yours, so you don’t have to re-record an entire video for a small error.
Descript is ideal for content creators, podcasters, and professionals who need an all-in-one tool for transcription, video editing, and screen recording with AI-powered enhancements.

Notta is another excellent tool for meeting transcription. Like Parrot AI, you can record your meetings and convert them into shareable text.

Notta has better meeting workflow management suited for individuals and teams looking for tools that manage meetings from planning to follow-up stages.
