Why people switch from Fathom to Scriptivox

More than 100 languages, not 38

Fathom transcribes 38 languages. Scriptivox transcribes more than 100 and detects the language for you.

Transcripts as files

Fathom transcripts cannot be downloaded, only copied and pasted. Scriptivox exports transcripts as PDF, DOCX, TXT or CSV, and subtitles as SRT or VTT.

When Fathom may suit you better

Fathom's free plan records and transcribes unlimited meetings with instant AI summaries. Scriptivox Free transcribes 3 files a day, each up to 30 minutes.
It can capture meetings without a bot (in beta on Mac) and pushes meeting notes to CRMs such as HubSpot and Salesforce.
Fathom translates summaries between English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian and Dutch. Scriptivox does not translate yet.
