Every voice in the room, by name.
Granola takes notes on calls from your laptop. Its transcripts say "Me" and "Them" on a computer, and Speaker A and Speaker B on a phone. Starlog is built for the meeting around the table: every phone in the room, and a name for every voice.
Made for the meeting around the table.
A name for every voice
Starlog names the people in the room from who you typed in, and every phone on the table helps tell the voices apart.
Granola: "Me" and "Them" on a computer, Speaker A and Speaker B in its phone apps.Fix any word
Tap a wrong word in the transcript and correct it, on every plan. Starlog learns names and words for next time.
Granola: transcripts cannot be edited, only parts deleted.Every phone in the room
Several phones record one meeting together, and Starlog merges them into one better transcript.
Granola: its help centre describes no way to combine them.Every phone in the room makes the notes better.
One phone at the end of the table hears the people near it. With Starlog, everyone who joins records on their own phone, and Starlog merges them into one transcript that knows who said what. The quiet voice at the far end of the table is close to someone's phone.
Words, measured.
The same public recordings, through both speech services Granola names on its security page and through the routes Starlog's plans use. Starlog Pro is level with the better of the two in most languages and clearly ahead in Italian, Danish and Japanese. Every Starlog plan has fewer words wrong than Deepgram in every language it takes. We measured the services, not Granola's own app.

The numbers as a table
| Language | Starlog Pro | Starlog Basic and Plus | Deepgram Nova-3, streaming | AssemblyAI Universal-3.6 Pro, streaming |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | 6.8% | 6.8% | 9.2% | 6.3% (12.2% with its lost clips) |
| German | 3.1% | 5.7% | 10.2% | 2.7% |
| French | 3.7% | 5.4% | 9.7% | 3.9% |
| Spanish | 2.5% | 3.3% | 5.2% | 2.3% |
| Italian | 0.9% | 3.1% | 5.3% | 1.7% |
| Portuguese | 2.9% | 5.9% | 9.1% | 3.0% |
| Dutch | 4.2% | 7.0% | 11.2% | 3.9% |
| Danish | 6.6% | 21.4% | 26.2% | 12.4% |
| Swedish | 4.8% | 13.1% | 17.1% | 4.5% |
| Japanese (characters) | 3.4% | needs Pro | 12.1% | 5.6% (9.5% with its lost clips) |
Each system transcribed the same 100 sentences per language from FLEURS, scored by the share of words wrong (characters for Japanese) after the same clean-up: lower case, punctuation removed, nothing else. Starlog's routes got each sentence as a file, as Starlog transcribes after a meeting. Deepgram and AssemblyAI got each language's sentences as one live stream at real-time pace, Deepgram told the language, its best case, AssemblyAI finding it. Where FLEURS has the same sentence read twice in a row, AssemblyAI wrote only one reading (8 clips in English, 6 in Japanese); the chart leaves those clips out for it, its better case, and the table gives both. With 100 sentences a language, a difference under about one point is within the noise. Spanish is Latin American and Portuguese Brazilian, the ones FLEURS has.

And in a meeting, who said it.
In a meeting the words are hard for every service. What sets them apart is putting each word under the right person. Granola's help centre says that when several people speak through one device, it cannot tell them apart.
| Who transcribed | Words wrong | Words and who said them, wrong | Speech under the right person | People found (4 in the room) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starlog, every plan | 26.2% | 26.5% | 98.4% | 4 every time |
| Deepgram Nova-3, streaming, with its speaker separation | 28.8% | 48.9% | 88.1% | 5 to 7 |
| AssemblyAI Universal-3.6 Pro, real time, with speaker labels | 29.2% | 40.9% | 89.1% | 4 to 7 |
Nine English meetings of four people, about two hours in all, each system given the whole recording. "Words and who said them" counts a word as wrong when it is wrong or under the wrong person. Data: AMI Meeting Corpus and NOTSOFAR-1, CC BY 4.0. Measured 10 October 2026.
Only where they differ.
Both turn meetings into transcripts and summaries. This is what is different. Granola's facts as its own website and help centre show them, checked on 10 October 2026.

Before you choose
I use Granola for calls. Can Starlog record calls too?
Yes, on a computer, when the call runs in your browser: Starlog records it from your own tab, so no bot joins. Starlog writes the summary minutes after the call; it does not write notes live while you type.
Which languages does Starlog transcribe?
You never choose one: Starlog hears which language is spoken. Basic and Plus transcribe 25 European languages, Danish and Swedish among them; Pro and Team more than 90.
Do the others in the room need Starlog?
No. They scan a code and record in their browser, no account needed.
Does Starlog record with the screen off?
Not yet on every phone. On Android, the web app keeps recording through calls and app switches, and its Black screen button keeps it recording while the screen looks off. Apps for iPhone and Android that record with the screen off are on the way.
Is my audio used to train AI?
Never anyone else's. Recordings in your own private space help improve Starlog's own transcription unless you turn it off in Settings; company and team meetings are never used. See privacy.
Can I try Starlog today?
Starlog opens in small groups. Join the waiting list and we write when it is your turn. Every account starts with 30 days free.
