When is Wave the better fit?
If you want to record your calls, lectures and meetings and get a summary too, Wave is a note taker built for that. LiveType does not summarise, so this is where the two part ways.
← LiveType and its alternatives
Wave alternative and comparison
Wave is a note taker that records, transcribes and summarizes meetings, calls and lectures. LiveType also transcribes live streams and TV channels, lets a team edit the text at once and can process the audio on your device.
When is LiveType the better Wave alternative?
If you also need live streams and TV channels written down, LiveType fits better. When a team corrects the same text, everyone sees the others' carets, and transcribing on your device means the recording is sent nowhere.
