Directory/Free tiers/AI note takers

Free AI note takers software

An AI note taker records or joins your interviews and calls, transcribes them and writes a summary, so you can listen to the candidate instead of typing. Recruiting tools go further and write the notes into your ATS as structured feedback or scorecards. This page lists only permanent free tiers, not timed trials.
