Decision guide
How to evaluate this switch before moving a team workflow.
Start with the source material. If your team mostly needs live text notes, calendar capture, or a lightweight transcript archive, Fireflies.ai may remain the simpler fit. If the original recording contains screen shares, footage, visual evidence, screenshots, or domain-specific outputs, VidScanner is built around that video-first review loop.
Test one recent recording before changing the default workflow. Upload the same file to VidScanner, compare the generated output with your existing process, and check whether timestamps, screenshots, exports, and searchable moments reduce manual review time for the team.
