Vexa is an API for real-time meeting transcription using meeting bots and direct streaming from web/mobile apps. It extracts knowledge from various platforms including:
- Google Meet
- Zoom (coming soon)
- Microsoft Teams (coming soon)
Built with a scalable architecture, Vexa is designed to support thousands of simultaneous users and concurrent transcription sessions. It serves as an enterprise-grade alternative to recall.ai with numerous extra features, developed with secure corporate environments in mind where data security and compliance are crucial.
