⚖️ Our Verdict
Grain should be part of your daily workflow. It records, transcribes, clips, and shares a video from Zoom in real-time! As we all know, conversations can be messy or noisy, but with Grain, you can focus on the information that you want to retain. Watching recordings can never be a pain with this app as you are not obliged to watch the whole session, but rather, only the most essential parts of your meeting!
In this time where Zoom meetings are now a thing, you can now organize unstructured data and not forget a single word from a meeting while using this app. Another interesting feature of Grain is that you can collaborate with other members to keep you all on the same page.

🌟 About Grain
Grain is an essential tool for modern teams. It allows you to transcribe Zoom meetings, extract highlights, and share them with team members, prospects, and customers to ensure a pleasant experience when they want insights from calls. It is not just a matter of obtaining a transcription. It is all about finding a system that works for you. This application offers just the most significant, impactful, and actionable value from each Zoom call to those that require it.
This app does more than save you time. Because you are simply sharing the highlights of your meetings, your team or clients will watch the snippets rather than struggle through a whole 30-minute-or-more session.
🎁 What’s In It For You?
Grain lets you record and transcribe Zoom calls. It automatically records the call and processes your Zoom transcription once it is finished. In the desktop app of Grain, you can use the feature of live note-taking to give you and your team a collaborative notepad to take notes that are time stamped. This allows you and your team to be on the same page.
Grain also goes beyond just selecting a text and highlighting it. Once the transcript is finished, you may select an important passage you want to highlight and Grain automatically creates a video clip of the section you selected. Grain also allows you to share highlights directly from a notepad during meetings. This app helps you to share only vital information!
Grain also has wide integrations that allow you to embed clips in your tools like Slack, Notion, and Asana.

🙋♀️🙋♂️🙋 Testimonials
Over the last 9+ months Grain has streamlined all communications for my marketing team.
We’ve been able to capture, share — and most importantly find — the essential insights from Zoom calls with product managers about new feature blogs, analysts from top soccer clubs for case studies, and team members about new marketing campaigns.
Truly, hours and hours would’ve otherwise been spent manually combing over these recordings.
Can’t wait to try out the new features @mgadams3 & @jake_adams3! (Especially the meeting recaps)
-Todd Patton, VP of Marketing at Spiideo
Awesome work. Been using Grain for the past couple of weeks for user interviews and usability testing and it’s a game changer when sharing snippets with colleagues! Looking forward to giving the update a spin!
