tl;dv Reviews & Product Details

At The Application Lab, tl;dv has become a quiet, dependable team member that captures the full story of every mentoring and consulting call. It takes away the pressure of writing exhaustive notes while speaking with scholars, applicants, and partners, so the conversation can stay human, empathetic, and focused on strategy rather than admin. The AI summaries reflect how we naturally process calls—context, key advice, decisions, and next steps—which makes it easy to turn discussions into follow‑up emails, application strategies, or internal handover notes. Since our small core team can’t be on every mentoring call, tl;dv saves us significant time by letting us quickly review the key moments instead of joining live or watching full recordings. It also aligns with GDPR principles and makes it straightforward to capture and record consent, which matters a lot for an education‑focused business handling sensitive personal information.

Occasionally, TLDV doesn’t show up in sessions that were booked within the last 1–5 hours. That’s the full extent of the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like tl;dv a lot because it's super efficient and super fast. The reliability is a major plus for me, as well as the amazing summarization templates using my own prompts. The automation feature that handles downloading, storing, and transcribing video calls into text and then summarizing them into a backlog of tasks is really helpful. Finally, the initial setup was super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

tl;dv launches automatically at each of my video calls, and the desktop application also allows me to record the audio of an in-person meeting. The reports are of high quality, and the integrated AI is simply amazing. The performance is excellent and the UX is very simple. The integration was very quick and the teams adopted it immediately, the pricing is quite appropriate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that tl;dv joins every meeting automatically across Google Meet, Teams, and Zoom without me having to think about it—no "did I remember to hit record" moments. The UI is clean and unobtrusive, and recordings, transcripts, and AI summaries are exactly where you'd expect them. I find the search function for past meetings incredibly effective, allowing me to pull up decisions or quotes from weeks ago in seconds. I really appreciate that tl;dv doesn't add cognitive overhead; it was one of the few SaaS products that my team adopted with zero pushback. It's fast to deliver meeting notes, which helps ensure that decisions and action items don't get lost. For my leadership role, the tool's recall and time savings on note-taking justify its use many times over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The menus could be more user friendly. The layout is a bit unsual for power users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that tl;dv makes it easy to share recordings by providing a link instead of having to download and send files. It's super convenient for sharing with clients and teammates who need to review the recordings. I also find it very easy to invite to a meeting since it's integrated right into the calendar, so I don't have to worry about forgetting to add it. Just pressing a button is all it takes to start recording the call, which is really handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, though they have transcripts, I still need my own AI agent to make it to my own tone. I also want it to be able to do multi-language transcription. So it doesn't do that right now. It kinda does, but it's not perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI and how easy the platform is to use are what I like most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like an easier way to toggle recordings on and off while I’m in a meeting, along with a faster response time once the notetaker is allowed into the meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about tl;dv is how easy it is to record, transcribe, and then summarize meetings. I find it particularly useful that I can mark important parts and quickly find them later without having to search for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A disadvantage of tl;dv is that the transcriptions are not always completely accurate, especially when multiple people are speaking or the audio quality is poor. Additionally, some features and integrations could still be improved to make the tool more well-rounded in these areas overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the easiness of using tl;dv. It's very intuitive to start logging information on a specific call just from the click of a button on my desktop application. The summarization feature is a favorite too, as it provides AI-generated insights that are pretty accurate. It can condense a full-hour meeting into just a few bullet points, helping me clarify or set the scope on bigger projects. I find it valuable for creating follow-ups, understanding dependencies, and building from there. Additionally, the setup was very easy using Google sign-on, and tl;dv integrates smoothly with different voice and web call providers, so I don't need separate specific summarization tools. It's a very nice tool to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the commitments for having a free tier, it's a bit biased. Because on one hand, you do upload a lot of information to the platform. And you can look at transcriptions. But you can't really interact more if you don't upgrade. So I think the freemium version here is not perfect, or at least it's really promoting people to upgrade. I would rather have something that would still give me the possibility to interact with the transcription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about tl;dv is how it automatically records meetings, generates clear summaries, and captures action items, helping teams save time and stay aligned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about tl;dv is that meeting summaries are not always generated consistently, and the settings can be difficult to configure. This can create delays when teams rely on timely notes and action items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love most is that as soon as the recording ends, it sends you the meeting. With a summary and you can also connect the app with other applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like is that it lacks some apps to connect, the app menu is very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
