Barometer
Where are your meetings processed? The sovereignty barometer for AI meeting-notes tools
Fourteen AI transcription and meeting-notes tools, compared on what matters for confidentiality: the vendor’s country, the hosting location, the use of a third-party language model for inference, and the availability of an on-premise mode.
This barometer is published by Recapro, one of the vendors compared below: the data comes from public sources, but this context should be taken into account. Each cell is drawn from the relevant vendor’s public documents (privacy policies, processing agreements, security pages), consulted on 14 June 2026, and links to its source. “Not published” means the information is not publicly available at that date; this absence does not prejudge the vendor’s actual practices. Vendors can change these elements at any time and report any correction to [email protected]. Recapro, the publisher of this barometer, is pinned at the top as a comparison reference; the other tools are listed alphabetically. The “On-premise pricing public” column indicates whether the price of an on-premise or enterprise deployment is publicly shown on the vendor’s site (“No on-premise offer” = no on-premise server deployment identified; “on quote” = an offering exists but no public price). The table covers meeting tools; for the healthcare case, see the sovereignty explainer.
