Aura Meet vs Google Meet Notes
Google Meet offers basic cloud-based notes — but only inside Google Meet, only in English, and only when you're online. Aura Meet works everywhere.
The platform lock-in problem
Google Meet Notes only work inside Google Meet calls with a Google Workspace subscription. Switch to Zoom, Teams, or an in-person meeting and you lose everything. Aura Meet transcribes any meeting, anywhere — from your phone's microphone, with no platform dependency.

One language vs. 99
Google Meet's transcription only supports English reliably, with limited support for a few other languages. If your team speaks Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, or any other language, you're out of luck. Aura Meet supports 99 languages with on-device processing — no language barriers, no cloud dependency.
Privacy Shield: Your audio stays on your device
Google Meet Notes process your meeting audio on Google's cloud servers, where it can be analyzed, stored, and potentially used for training. For organizations handling sensitive information — legal consultations, medical discussions, financial reviews — this creates real compliance risk.
Aura Meet's Privacy Shield keeps all transcription and AI processing on-device. Zero audio is ever uploaded to any server. No cloud storage, no data retention policies to worry about, no third-party access. Learn more about our privacy architecture →
