Scriptal vs Google Drive
You have transcripts sitting in a folder. You can't find anything. You can't see patterns across calls. Sound familiar?
The Folder Problem
Google Drive is for storage, not analysis
Drive is great at storing files. But transcripts aren't just files—they're conversations full of insights. Drive can hold them, but it can't help you understand them.
Keyword search doesn't cut it
Drive search matches exact words. But you don't always remember the exact phrase. "Find calls where the customer was frustrated about pricing" doesn't work in Drive. In Scriptal, that's a semantic search that actually returns results.
No insights, just files
What topics come up most in your calls? What's the average sentiment? Which objections keep killing deals? Drive can't tell you any of this. You'd have to open each file, read it, and track everything manually.
The folder gets bigger, the problem gets worse
10 transcripts in a folder? Manageable. 100? Getting hard. 500? You'll never find anything. The more transcripts you have, the more you need a system built for transcripts—not a generic file storage tool.
