Why this beats a meeting bot
A bot is another participant that hosts can block. Recording from your Mac works in any app that plays sound, and the recording stays in your library, where you can tap any line to hear it again.
Recording consent: laws differ by country and state, and many require consent from everyone on the call. Telling people up front is both the safe and the polite thing to do.
What to do with the transcript
Ask "what did we decide about the date?" in the chat, generate structured notes with action items, and export the transcript as text or PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Can I record a Zoom call on a Mac without the host knowing?
You shouldn't record anyone without telling them. A recording captured from your own Mac won't appear as a bot, so it's on you to tell people and follow local law.
Does this work on iPhone?
On an iPhone, Spiik records through the microphone, so it works best for in-person conversations. For calls, use the Mac.
Do I need Zoom's paid plan?
No. Spiik captures sound from your Mac, so your Zoom plan doesn't matter.
Does Spiik record the other people on the call, or only me?
Both. Mic & System Audio mixes your microphone with your Mac's audio, so the other participants' voices from Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or any other app end up in the same recording and transcript.
Does Spiik start recording automatically when a meeting begins?
No. You start each recording yourself, so nothing is captured by accident.
