Scriptal vs Fireflies.ai

Different Tools, Different Jobs

Fireflies is a meeting recorder

Fireflies joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams calls, records them, and generates transcripts automatically. It's great at what it does. If you need live transcription with a meeting bot, Fireflies delivers.

Scriptal is a transcript library

Scriptal doesn't record meetings. Instead, it's where you put all your transcripts—from Fireflies, Otter, Fathom, Zoom's native transcription, manual transcriptions, wherever. Upload everything, search across all of it, get AI analysis and analytics.

They work well together

Record with Fireflies, export your transcripts, upload to Scriptal. Now you have a searchable library with analytics across all your conversations—not just Fireflies calls, but everything from every source.

The Problem Scriptal Solves

You've been using Fireflies for months. Maybe you also use Zoom's native transcription for some calls, or Otter for in-person meetings, or Fathom for sales calls. You have hundreds of transcripts scattered across different tools.

You can search within Fireflies, but only for Fireflies transcripts. You can't search across everything. You can't see patterns that span your entire conversation history. That's what Scriptal fixes—one library for all your transcripts, with semantic search and analytics across everything.
