Notta is a transcription workhorse with a superpower the Western tools rarely match: excellent Asian-language support and live bilingual translation, born from its huge Japanese user base.

Notta transcribes live meetings, uploaded audio and video, and web links in 58 languages with strong accuracy and speaker identification. Its real-time translation captions a meeting in one language while displaying another, and two-way bilingual mode handles cross-border calls, capabilities that made it standard kit for teams working across English, Japanese, and Chinese. AI summaries condense hours into action items and chapters; a meeting bot joins Zoom, Meet, and Teams automatically; and mobile apps plus a Chrome extension capture everything from voice memos to web audio.

Who is it for?

International teams bridging language gaps in meetings, journalists and researchers transcribing interviews, and anyone in the Japanese/Asian business sphere where Notta's language edge is decisive.

How much does Notta cost?

A free tier offers basic monthly transcription minutes. Pro starts around $9 per month billed annually with long-file transcription, exports, and summaries; Business adds team workspaces, bilingual translation, and admin features at a higher per-seat price.

Our verdict

For multilingual and Japanese-English workflows, Notta is arguably the best transcription pick anywhere. Pure-English users have cheaper unlimited options like TurboScribe, but the translation features justify Notta wherever borders are crossed.
