Field notes
Tymbr accepts recordings from three routes: uploaded files, a Windows or macOS desktop app, and browser dictation. Its single product tier includes speaker identification, editable speaker labels, exports, and MCP access, while explicitly excluding automated action items, summary emails, and meeting bots. The pricing model uses prepaid rand credit rather than seats or monthly billing; the page gives R150 as roughly 25 hours at the current rate and says unused credit lasts three years.
