What do you like best about Read?

We have noticed a huge increase in usage of AI based meeting notes tools across organization. Good part is that it will keep meeting notes and do the transcpting from voice to text. A tool for a public forum or meetings with non-confidential data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read?

Note that privacy policies of read.ai are NOT favorable for confidentials calls. Furthermore, if the config of meeting tool is as default then read.ai is spreading through the organization with little or no permissions from users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Read solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping notes of public meeting which has public informaton like motivation talk and no personal information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read?

Once installed, they never leave you.

We stopped the trial. It continues coming to our meetings.

When we remove it, it still continues coming.

We had get in touch with support. And, still, they don't remove it easily.

Whatever you do, don't use this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Read?

This one of the first AI tools that I have seen empowering out business in terms of getting transparency across the board. It helps us to track and analyse all our teammates call recording along with call summary and video playback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Read?

I think it can be more specific about the kind of details it shows on the recording manager page. We would like to see more of what really matters and less of jargon that won't really be that useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Read solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping us track the meeting with ai based summary of oir demo and onboarding calls for all reps across all teams. This also means the team is more aware about what they say in meeting as everything is getting recorded - no one talks about this but it's very important that employees feel they are being monitored and Read.ai does a perfect jo lb doing that.
