The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
Granola
Strengths

- Opt-out of model training on every plan, including the free one
- MCP server and API on Business, so meeting context reaches other AI tools
Limitations
- Capture depends on a machine being in the meeting, since it records local computer audio
- The free plan limits how far meeting history reaches back
- Integrations, API and MCP start on the Business plan
Respeecher
Strengths
- Broadcast-quality cloning trusted by major film and game studios
- Covers speech-to-speech, accent correction and voice de-aging, not just text-to-speech
