Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

NotchLive overview
What is NotchLive?
NotchLive is a native macOS captioning and meeting-transcription app built around local processing. It captures system audio, microphone audio, or both from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, browsers, videos, podcasts, lectures, and other Mac apps. WhisperKit and CoreML perform speech recognition on-device, so NotchLive does not create a cloud meeting workspace or join calls as a bot.
On Apple silicon, NotchLive separates remote voices into provisional, meeting-local speaker labels while keeping microphone captions assigned to You. After recording, users can review participants, rename or merge speakers, reassign full turns, split mixed turns, or leave uncertain speech unresolved. Meeting Analytics, saved records, exports, and notes use the reviewed transcript.
Raw and Clean transcript views preserve the captured record while providing a readable working version. Users can search the Timeline, save meetings locally, and export TXT, Markdown, or JSON. Voice Notes turns dictated speech into saved or exported notes.
Built-in Apple Translation supports 20 languages on macOS 15 or later. An optional local, read-only MCP server can expose saved meetings, Voice Notes, analytics, or finalized active captions to Codex and Claude when the user enables each data surface. The connection exposes no raw audio or write controls.
Live captions and automatic remote-speaker labels are free. Pro is a $24.99 one-time purchase. Team Packs cover 5, 10, or 25 Macs without subscriptions or user accounts.
