Frequently Asked Questions

What languages does Hedy AI support?

Hedy supports transcription and chat in over 30 languages. You can choose the language of your meeting and the language Hedy uses to respond.

Can I use Hedy AI for desktop meetings or only mobile?

Currently, recording functionality is only available through the Hedy mobile app. The web app allows you to review transcripts, export data, set up Zapier integrations, and chat with Hedy about completed meetings, but cannot record new sessions. Desktop recording functionality is being developed based on user feedback.

How does Hedy AI protect my privacy?

Hedy AI uses on-device processing to ensure your conversations remain private. The platform processes audio locally on your device while still providing AI insights. This means your sensitive meeting content isn't sent to external servers during the conversation.

What's the difference between the free plan and Pro plan?

The Free plan gives you up to 5 hours of meeting time per month with real‑time AI insights, automatic transcripts, summaries, and support for 30+ languages. The Pro plan ($9.99/month or $69.99/year) adds unlimited meeting length and sessions, the ability to import and transcribe past recordings, web app access with post‑session chat, and Zapier/API integrations. A Lifetime plan includes all Pro features with a one‑time payment.

Can I integrate Hedy AI with other apps?

Yes. Hedy AI integrates with over 2,000 apps through Zapier, allowing you to automatically send transcripts and summaries to tools like project management systems, CRMs, and note-taking apps. The Pro plan also includes API access for custom integrations.

How accurate is the transcription?

Transcription accuracy is generally good for native English speakers in quiet environments. However, users report that accuracy decreases for speakers with non-native accents and in environments with background noise. The development team is actively working on improving transcription quality based on user feedback.

Can I use Hedy AI for in-person meetings?

Yes, but there are practical limitations. Since recording requires the mobile app, you'll need to have your phone active during the meeting, which some users find awkward or unprofessional in face-to-face business settings. It works better for virtual meetings or educational settings where phone use is more acceptable.
