Scammers! Disrespect for their users! Before taking people's money ask if they plan to use your service!!! You can send thousand emails and none to remind the user that his free trial is about to expire. This is the worst treatment a customer can get! Awful experience!

Doesn't work with Chrome. Nothing happens when meeting link is clicked or afterwards. No option to initiate transcription. As a result, I've used ActionPoint.ai for real-time transcription/translation.

Documentation is garbage. Product does not work.
