What languages does RecordX transcribe?

20 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Romanian, and Czech.

Is there a free plan?

RecordX vs tl;dv

Q: How do I move transcripts from tl;dv to RecordX?

RecordX offers Business-tier concierge migration. Our engineering team migrates your existing tl;dv transcripts, summaries and metadata into RecordX. Available on the Business plan. Tell us at sign-up and we'll import your history within a few business days. Free-tier and Pro-tier users: new recordings save to RecordX going forward; historical data stays in tl;dv.

tl;dv is a well-known recorder for video calls with an AI layer on top. RecordX runs the same end-to-end pipeline without a bot, and adds a native Android app for meetings that never had a calendar invite. Here is a plain comparison.

Two recording models - tl;dv bot vs RecordX phone-native

Recording model

tl;dv centers on video call recording with a bot. RecordX centers on the audio you already have access to, wherever it lives.

RecordX

Chrome extension records tab audio for Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, and Slack. Android app records in-person meetings from your phone. Any audio file works too. No bot in the participant list.

tl;dv

tl;dv joins scheduled meetings as a bot and records video plus audio; a newer botless recording mode captures without adding a participant on supported platforms. Video is a first-class asset - share timestamped clips of the recorded meeting with teammates.

The tradeoff

A bot in the call gets you video clips and calendar coverage. Local capture gets you a clean audio transcript with no visible recording participant, and covers in-person meetings that never had a calendar entry.

Feature comparison

Two recording paths, node by node

Side by side, honest about the differences.

Capability	RecordX	tl;dv
Capture	Local, bot-free	Meeting bot, with botless mode on some platforms
Video recording	Audio + transcript	Video clips
In-person meetings	Native Android app	Not the primary use case
Audio upload	Yes	Limited
AI summary and action items	Yes	Yes
Languages supported	20	40+
Free tier	Yes	Yes

Fit and use cases

Pick RecordX when

Your meetings mix video calls with in-person conversations, or you want the AI notes without a bot in the room.

Pick tl;dv when

Video clips of your calls are the artifact you really want to share, and you are fine with a bot participant appearing on scheduled meetings.

The intersection

Both give you a transcript, an AI summary, and action items. The differentiator is what surrounds those: video clips on one side, in-person capture on the other.

Pricing at a glance

tl;dv advertises a Free Forever plan; specific paid-tier numbers are hard to find on the public site as of September 2026.

Who each product serves best

tl;dv fits a video-first team that wants share-ready clips of calls, CRM auto-fill, and downstream automation via 5000+ apps on Zapier. Sales coaching features on Business tier target inside-sales orgs; the generous free tier makes onboarding painless.

RecordX fits a workflow that spans video, phone, and in-person; where a visible bot changes the call temperature; or where Hebrew is a first-class language across transcript, summary, and UI. Solo pros and small teams; sales in Israel; recruiters, therapists, coaches.

Where tl;dv wins

Free Forever plan with unlimited recordings and transcriptions on Zoom, Meet, and Teams.
Video clips are a first-class artifact: timestamped, share-ready.
5000+ integrations via Zapier plus native HubSpot, Slack, Notion.
CRM auto-fill and multilingual transcription in 30+ languages.
Sales coaching and AI reports on Business tier.

Where RecordX wins

RecordX runs on top-tier ASR models and a modern audio pipeline. Transcription quality holds up across every supported language, including Hebrew.
Built-in softphone with personal DID per user, HD stereo phone-call recording.
Native Android app with kill-safe background recording for in-person captures.
Hebrew as a first-class language across transcription, summary, and UI.
Bot-free by default; no meeting participant added.
One searchable library across video, phone, and in-person.
Chat with any meeting or your full history - no competitor has this depth.
MCP server so Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client can query your meetings directly.
Business-tier concierge migration: engineering team imports your tl;dv transcripts, summaries and metadata within a few business days.

When not to switch

If video clips as the core artifact matter to your team's workflow, or if you rely on tl;dv's 5000+ Zapier integrations for downstream automation, don't switch. RecordX does not focus on video clip sharing and does not match tl;dv's Zapier surface area today. Migration pays off when phone calls, in-person meetings, or Hebrew are part of the daily workflow.

FAQ

Is tl;dv bot-free?

Default is a bot in the participant list; a newer botless mode records on supported platforms without adding a participant. RecordX is bot-free by default across Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, and Slack.

Does tl;dv record phone calls?

No built-in softphone. RecordX ships a real dialer with a personal DID per user, HD stereo recording, and transcripts in the same library.

Which one has more languages?

tl;dv advertises 30+ transcribed languages. RecordX supports 20 curated for quality with native Hebrew and other non-Latin scripts.

Privacy on RecordX

Encrypted in transit and at rest. Source audio is deleted after processing. Transcripts stay one year and can be deleted at any time. See the privacy policy for the specifics.

Smaller metadata surface

No calendar integration required, no meeting bot account listed as a participant, and no external service that needs a seat on the call to make transcription work. That is a smaller surface area for the same output.
