tl;dv
Meeting recorder with Arabic (Saudi) and (UAE) labels on top of Whisper
Visit website →About
tl;dv records and transcribes video meetings on Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, timestamps highlights and generates notes, with a free plan generous enough for individual use. It is one of the few meeting tools that lets you set the transcript language to a Gulf variant: Arabic (Saudi Arabia), Arabic (UAE), Arabic (Qatar), alongside Egyptian, Jordanian and Lebanese.
Be clear about what that setting does. tl;dv's own help pages say transcription runs on Whisper, which has a single Arabic model and no dialect training, so the Saudi and UAE entries are locale labels rather than separate recognisers. The independent benchmarks for Whisper on Gulf speech, which are poor, therefore apply here too.
It remains a convenient, inexpensive way to get a searchable record of an Arabic meeting, and the free plan means you can check the quality on your own voices before relying on it.

Why we picked it
We included it precisely because the Saudi and UAE options look like dialect support and are not, and readers deserve to know which. For a free, no-friction record of Arabic meetings it is fine; for accuracy on Khaleeji speech, the Whisper engine underneath sets the ceiling, and we say so.
