Why choose Tonvo

Help in the Moment

Tonvo shows the question that was just asked and up to three replies you can say, while the conversation is still going.

Beyond Work Meetings

Use it for a phone call to your bank, a conversation in another language or a talk with someone close to you, not only for meetings.

Written Conversations Too

Paste a conversation or upload screenshots and get help writing your reply.

10 Languages

Tonvo transcribes in 10 languages and can detect the language. Ultra and Elite add live translation.

Notes for Later or Words for Now

Otter.ai is a good choice if you want meetings turned into transcripts, summaries and action items you can search later. Tonvo is built for something else: help while you are talking, in any conversation, with the question just asked and up to three replies to choose from. It does not record audio and it is not an archive. Choose a notetaker for the record, Tonvo for the live conversation, or use both.

Frequently asked questions

What does Tonvo do that a notetaker does not?

Tonvo is built for help in the conversation, not for the record. It follows along live, shows the question the other person just asked and suggests up to three replies you can say. It works on any conversation your microphone or a shared browser tab can hear, not only meetings.

Does Otter.ai offer live help too?

Its site describes Live-Assist, with real-time coaching and prompts during calls, and pre-call briefings. Tonvo prepares from what you tell it: you describe the conversation before a session and get a short goal, up to three opening lines, points to keep in mind and likely questions with a short answer. It then helps during the conversation and on messages you paste or screenshots you upload.

Can I use both Tonvo and Otter.ai?

Yes, they do different jobs. You can keep a notetaker for the record of your meetings and use Tonvo when you want help with what to say. Test both on your setup before an important call.

How much does Tonvo cost compared with Otter.ai?

Tonvo has three paid plans: Pro at €14.99 a month, Ultra at €29.99 and Elite at €69.99, billed in euros, with lower prices on yearly billing. Pro and Ultra come with a 7-day money-back guarantee. Otter.ai lists a free Basic tier and paid plans on its site, so check it for current prices.
