Comparison
tl;dv vs. Minuta: clips after vs. answers during
tl;dv is the better fit when the meeting needs to become a recording, a highlight clip, or a recap teammates can share after. Minuta is for the live moment: the prospect asks a question in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, the room is waiting, and you need to know what to say before the conversation moves on.
Before, during and after
Pick the right one
tl;dv
- You want recordings, polished video clips, and reels of meeting moments — that's tl;dv's edge.
- You need shareable recaps for teammates who were not in the room.
- Your team's stack is Salesforce / HubSpot / Notion-heavy and the deep CRM integrations matter.
- Your priority is the after-call artifact: transcript, summary, clip, or CRM handoff.
- You don't mind a bot joining the call and notes living in tl;dv's cloud.
- You need to know what to say during the conversation, not just after it ends.
- You need answer drafts shaped by your context and docs while the call is still happening.
- A bot in the call is a non-starter (regulated industry, paranoid prospect, sensitive deal).
- No meeting bot joins your call — Minuta captures system audio from the desktop app.
- You need EN ↔ PT/ES live translation during the call (tl;dv transcribes many languages but does not translate live).

Where Minuta wins
- Answers during the call. tl;dv is stronger when you need recordings, clips, and recaps after. Minuta drafts what to say while the question is still in the air.
- Context-aware drafting. Minuta can use your context and docs to shape the answer, instead of leaving you with a recap after the moment has passed.
- No bot in the call. Minuta captures system audio from the desktop app instead of joining as a meeting participant.
- No bot in the call. tl;dv joins as a meeting participant. Minuta listens from your desktop — the other side never sees a notetaker join. Transcripts, summaries, and copilot answers are stored in your desktop app.
- Live translation, not just multi-language transcription. tl;dv transcribes ~30 languages. Minuta translates between EN and PT/ES live, so you can speak your language and read theirs in real time.
