Record it, upload it, make sense of it.
Most tools make you pick a lane: record live, upload a file, or get AI notes. Kalima does all three in one place.
Live transcription
Start Kalima in the web or desktop app and follow every word in real time. Speakers are detected automatically and the transcript grows live. Nobody extra joins the meeting to make it happen.
- Text appears as it's spoken
- Speakers detected automatically
- Click to jump to the moment
Live translation
Choose translation when you start a recording and read along in your language while others speak theirs. The translation appears next to the original as people talk, so names and terms stay easy to check.
- Original and translation side by side
- 60 languages
- Keeps up when someone switches language
File upload
Upload audio or video files and let Kalima do the rest. Even long recordings are transcribed reliably in the background, complete with clean text and precise timestamps.
- Audio and video
- Transcribed in the background
- Output with timestamps
Playback and chapters
Open a finished session and listen back. The word being spoken is highlighted as it plays, the chapters from the AI summary split the recording into parts, and a click on any word jumps straight to that moment.
- Word-by-word highlighting
- Chapters from the AI summary
- Click a word to jump there
AI Studio
Conversations become results. Kalima summarizes content, spots tasks and decisions, and answers questions straight from the transcript. Ready to share, export, and keep working.
- Summaries, tasks, and decisions
- Ask the transcript directly
- Export to your tools
In your own AI tools
Connect Kalima to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or VS Code through its MCP server. Your assistant searches your transcripts, reads the passages it needs, and tells you which meeting and moment an answer comes from. In Claude and ChatGPT, every timestamp opens the recording at that spot. From any session, the AI tools tab opens it in Claude or ChatGPT with one click. Access is read-only by default, and setup takes about two minutes.
- Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code
- Answers with the meeting and time
- Read-only by default, signed in with OAuth
Meeting detection in the desktop app
When the desktop app detects a call, its Meeting Assist panel offers to record it, with your mode and languages already set. One click on Start recording captures your microphone and the call's audio. If you prefer, clearly detected calls can start and stop recording on their own. With the Kalima extension for Chrome, Edge, and Brave, the desktop app also notices calls in Google Meet and other browser meetings.
- Offers to record when a call is detected
- Mode and languages remembered
- Optional auto-start and auto-stop
Live sharing
Send one link and others read the transcript live while you record. You decide who gets in: anyone with the link, signed-in users, or only the people, teams and organizations you add. Protect the link with a password or let it expire, and choose whether viewers may play the recording, see the AI summary or chat with the transcript.
- Viewers read along in real time
- People, teams or whole organizations
- Password, expiry and viewer rights

See Kalima in action.
Three workflows from start to finish: a meeting that ends in a task list, a training video that gets subtitles in another language, and a question Kalima answers from what was said.
The meeting recording that just runs itself.
You know the feeling: the meeting is already under way and nobody pressed record. The desktop app takes that off your plate. It can detect when a meeting starts, record automatically, and stop when it ends. By capturing the sound playing on your computer, it transcribes everyone in the call, not just you. No forgotten click, no lost beginning, and no bot in the meeting.
