Transcription Power

  • tl;dv: No limits here!
  • Gemini: Has transcription features but might throttle heavy users with rate limits.

Real-Time Transcriptions

  • Gemini: This one’s a game-changer! It dishes out live text during meetings, which is clutch if you need instant notes.
  • tl;dv: Lacks real-time transcription, so you’ll need to wait for the meeting to end.

Languages & Dialects

  • Gemini: As part of Google, it’s got lots of languages covered—except the new AI meeting notes feature, which only does US English. Dialects are also limited to US regional accents.
  • tl;dv: Multilingual heaven! It handles various languages and dialects from around the globe, making it super versatile for different languages and regional accents.

Filler Word Removal

  • Gemini: It has filler word removal in captions, but it’s a bit murky on how well it works. Details are scarce.
  • tl;dv: No filler word removal yet, but it’s coming soon. This should clean up transcriptions and make them look more professional.

Transcribing Uploads

  • tl;dv: With the free plan, you can upload up to three recordings a month—simple and straightforward.
  • Gemini: Supports video and audio uploads but requires API use, which might be tricky if you’re not tech-savvy. tl;dv’s direct upload process might be easier for most folks.

Clips From Transcripts

  • tl;dv: Unique feature alert! Create clips from your transcripts to highlight and share key moments. Perfect for quick references.
  • Gemini: Doesn’t offer this feature, so extracting and sharing specific meeting segments might be less convenient.

Custom Vocabulary

  • Gemini & tl;dv: Neither platform has custom vocab yet, which would be super handy for niche jargon. But tl;dv plans to roll out this feature soon to enhance accuracy for specialized terms.
