“I hit record before a Zoom call and by the time we hang up the summary and action items are already written. On my Mac nothing even joins the call.”
The AI note taker
for Zoom.
Records your Zoom calls from your own machine. No bot joins, unless you send one. Works on any Zoom plan, no cloud recording needed.
Loved by professionals worldwide
Fits into your workflow.
CraftNote works wherever you do. No setup, no friction.
Two ways to capture Zoom.
On Mac and Chromium, CraftNote records the call directly and nothing joins the meeting. Everywhere else, or for calls you can't attend, send the optional bot. Either way: transcript, summary, action items.
Record on any device, anywhere.
iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, any browser. Start on one, pick it up on another.
Transcribe and summarize any file.
Audio, video, PDFs, or a YouTube link. Whatever goes in, a note comes out.
Notes in any format.
Dozens of templates turn one meeting into to-dos, minutes, or an exec brief.
“Back-to-back Zoom calls all day. CraftNote turns each one into a clean, formatted note with the decisions and action items already pulled out.”
Works in 80+ languages, including yours.
Record in any language, read it in any other. Translation is one tap.
“Our Zoom calls run in three languages. CraftNote transcribes every one and gives me clean English notes. Saves me an hour a day.”

Zoom questions, answered.
- How do I transcribe a Zoom meeting with CraftNote?
- Open CraftNote before or during your Zoom call and hit record. On Mac and Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc) it captures the Zoom call's audio directly. No bot joins. On other devices, or if you're not in the call, send the optional CraftNote bot to the Zoom meeting instead. When the call ends you get a transcript, an AI summary, and an action-item checklist.
- Does CraftNote need Zoom cloud recording or a paid Zoom plan?
- No. CraftNote runs its own transcription and speaker-diarization on the audio it records, so it does not rely on Zoom's cloud recording or Zoom's built-in transcript. It works the same on a free Zoom account as on a paid one.
- Does a bot join my Zoom call?
- Only if you want it to. On Mac and Chromium browsers, CraftNote records the Zoom call's system audio directly, so nothing joins the meeting. On Safari, Firefox, and mobile, or to capture a call you're not attending, you can send an optional bot that joins the Zoom call as a named participant.
- How much does the Zoom meeting bot cost?
- Bot-recorded meetings use one credit each on the free plan, or are included with a Pro subscription. The bot-free capture on Mac and Chromium browsers has no per-meeting cost.
- Can CraftNote record a Zoom call on my phone?
- On iPhone and Android, CraftNote records through the microphone, or you can send the optional bot into the Zoom call to capture everyone. Direct system-audio capture of other participants without a bot is available on Mac and Chromium browsers, not on mobile.
- Does it identify who said what on a Zoom call?
- Yes. CraftNote separates speakers automatically and can attach real names using your enrolled voiceprints and the meeting's calendar attendees. When the bot joins the Zoom call, it can also read the participant list for more reliable names.
- What languages does CraftNote support for Zoom meetings?
- CraftNote transcribes and translates in 80+ languages with automatic language detection, so multilingual Zoom calls are transcribed and can be summarized in the language you prefer.
