Speaker ID

Recognizes every voice in the room.

As people speak, Canto tells each voice apart and learns who's who as the conversation continues, so your transcript arrives with names attached, not just anonymous turns.

Speaker detection runs on a custom voice-embedding model. Matches update live as the conversation continues.

Questions

Asked and answered.

How accurate is Canto's transcription?

Independent third-party benchmarks rank Canto's transcription first for accuracy, at roughly 2 errors per hundred words on real-world English audio. In most of our thirteen focus languages the gap over other notetakers is even wider.

Does Canto work for in-person meetings, or only video calls?

Both. Your phone, watch, or laptop records the room. For Teams, Meet, and Zoom a notetaker joins the call by itself and the recording lands in the same library.

What languages does Canto support?

Transcription auto-detects and handles 99 languages, including mid-sentence switches. The app itself, along with the AI-written titles, summaries, and answers, ships in thirteen languages.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. 300 minutes of transcription every month, free forever, with search, chat, summaries, and templates included. Pro is $14.99 a month billed annually, with unlimited transcription.

Can I use Canto with Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Export any transcript or summary as clean Markdown or PDF, or connect your knowledge base directly through Canto's MCP server.

Who can see my recordings?

Only you, unless you share a folder. Your audio is never training data, and deleting your account permanently deletes everything.

Can I import voice notes from WhatsApp or Viber?

Yes. Share any audio file into Canto from WhatsApp, Viber, or your files, and it's transcribed and indexed like anything you recorded.

How do teams use Canto?

Shared folders give teammates the recordings, notes, and AI chat for a project. Organizations share entire spaces automatically. Team plans have a five-seat minimum.

Never scrub through audio again.

Free to start. Sign in with Apple or Google. Your recordings are yours, and you can delete your account and data at any time.
