Finally – a Swiss AI tool for meeting notes
Mike tested over 20 meeting note tools and, after a month of intensive testing, recommends the Swiss tool Optiverse — mainly because it supports Swiss German and offers true multilingual capability.
What you learn
Common meeting note tools fail in Switzerland: they do not understand Swiss German. Mike tested over 20 tools and found a clear favourite.
The problem with existing tools
Fireflies AI: great interface, good transcript in Standard German, but no usable Swiss German transcript
TLDV (from Germany): also no real Swiss German
Otter AI: does not understand Swiss German, and sometimes not Standard German either
Mike’s previous workaround: record video, transcribe it in Google AI Studio - too much effort for everyday use
Clear recommendation: Optiverse
Swiss tool, currently in beta.
Understands Swiss German, Standard German, English and French at the same time in the same meeting
Speaker diarisation: identifies who is speaking when
Full transcript with a click on the timestamp
Automatic summary, main topics, key action items
Custom templates can be created (for example, meeting with Mike: to-dos + important dates)
All participants automatically receive a link to the minutes
Data stays in Switzerland, GDPR-compliant
Soon: HubSpot and Pipedrive integration
Typical Swiss meeting problem
One employee speaks English, others reply in Swiss German, and Standard German or French may be added. Optiverse handles this without issue.
Costs
For most people, the $29 version per month is enough. Comparable with other tools in this category.
