Who Uses Meeting Summaries and Why
Turning Interview, Call, Podcast, and Lecture Audio Into Quotable Transcripts or Notes
Researchers, journalists and students record hours of interviews and lectures, then spend more hours typing out the parts they need.
Manual transcription burns an hour of work for every hour of audio, and the free auto-captions from recording apps need so much cleanup that the time saved disappears.
Adding Subtitles to Marketing or Training Video
Auto-caption tools often miss technical terms, product names and speaker changes, so the subtitles need a full manual pass before you can publish.
“The app has simplified my dissertation work by trascribing the interviews I am working with currently.”
What Sets Cockatoo Apart
Made Possible by In-House Inference Economics
Cockatoo owns its transcription engine and runs inference on its own infrastructure, so there are no per-hour API fees.
Accuracy You Can Audit: Published Per-Language Accuracy Tests
No vague claims, no unsupported percentages.
One Tool for Both Halves of the Job: Transcription and Translation
Cockatoo handles both audio transcription and document translation in one subscription.
Get the words out of the audio, then get them into another language, without paying for two separate tools.

Strongest Positive Themes: Accuracy on Difficult Accents and Dialects, Raw Speed, Ease of Use
Our users appreciate Cockatoo's accuracy on difficult accents and dialects, the raw speed of transcription and how easy the tool is to use.
Many mention that they tried other tools first and switched to Cockatoo because the accuracy was noticeably better on their own audio.
“Simple to use, very accurate - can identify between speakers and quicker than most in identifying franco arabic conversation.”
“This transcriber is incredibly accurate, and not bothered by all the different accents i present it with. Highly recommended.”

Cockatoo's transcription engine is versioned and improved like a language model, with each release targeting specific accuracy, speed or language goals.
The engine is not a resold API. It is built, trained and hosted by Cockatoo, so improvements ship when they are ready, not when a third party releases them.
