Read.ai Transcription Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

The app is unreliable, not for important meetings

The app is buggy. You cannot rely on it to take notes of important work meetings. 1. It sometimes doesn't enter meetings that have been on your calendar for some time now, even those that appear in the calendar within the Read.ai dashboard. 2. Even if you add it manually to a meeting, it may not record/transcribe the meeting. Happened with me, even though I am a subscriber of the Pro (paid) version of the app. 3. Support team doesn't respond on time. If you need a reliable app to record ...

If I could rate less than 1 I would

If I could rate less than 1 I would. When you sign up they create multiple accounts. When you “cancel”, it’s a never ending back and forth with their awful customer support to try and identify and delete all these accounts. They will then tell you they can’t delete accounts for “security purposes”. COMPLETE SCAM and AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Malware, not software

Malware, not software. Read.ai attaches to MS Teams and reappears at every Teams meeting, despite efforts to remove it. It never asks for a prior authorisation and is conducive to illegal behaviour as taping discussions without prior agreement is not permitted in most countries. Astonishing that MS is lending its platform to such outrageous malware-like programs.

Shady Software & Non-Existent Customer Service

Software continues to show up on Teams and Zoom meetings even thought it's been disconnected and I've deleted my account completely. I've contacted support 3 times now over the past week and they just keep closing the tickets as "Solved". This is the epitome of shady business practices and anyone considering this software should avoid it like the plague. Also, the user named “David Shim” leaving a review is the CEO if that tells you anything about the shady-ness.

What a piece of ungodly crap

What a piece of ungodly crap! These mentally challenged developers made the distribution viral and extremely difficult to remove. Basically, the app virally attaches to your Teams, if a meeting participant used it. Given that it is a recording app for calls, and recording calls without explicit consent of all participants is illegal (criminal) under most civilized jurisdictions, this app is a danger to humanity. Dear developers, go die in a ditch!

Meet Your Perfect Meeting Assistant

It works great for summarizing my meetings on Zoom, Microsoft, and Google. I joins automatically, sends me notes, and reminds me when follow-up items are due. It's like a personal assistant. With the defaults, make sure to review, but it's pretty clear from what I can tell.

Read AI is nothing but malware

Read AI is nothing but malware. I never consciously downloaded it onto my computer, nor did I ever sign up for an account. Yet it is creating semi correct and glaringly WRONG summaries of important, confidential meetings against my will. The instructions for removing Read AI are all premised on one's having set up an account. I didn't set up an account, so I can't delete the account. Meanwhile this creepy app keeps doing its thing.

I hate this app

I hate this app. First of all it is not very accurate and a big legal exposure unless you read everything after each meeting , which will be a big waste of time. be very careful , it automatically sets itself up to attach to all your zoom meetings without letting you know, you get rid of it but it keeps showing up.

2 kinds of concept paper

2 kinds of concept paper 1.Implicit Concept Paper: ⚫Implicit concept paper focuses on storing casual or informal information that traditional model theories may overlook. -It deals with concepts that are not directly stated but can be inferred from the context or background information presented.

Dangerous

Unnecessary, Inaccurate and Invasive. Dangerous to our business. There could be legal consequences for damages this troll app can cause by facilitating this type of business interference without specific agreement by the meeting organizer.
