-## Recall.ai - Meeting Transcription API
-
-Meetingnotes runs locally, capturing two streams: system & mic.
-
-If you’re looking for a transcription API for meetings, consider checking out [Recall.ai](
-https://www.recall.ai?utm_source=github&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_campaign=owengretzinger+meetingnotes), an API that works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and more. Recall.ai diarizes by pulling the speaker data and separate audio streams from the meeting platforms, which means 100% accurate speaker diarization with actual speaker names.
