These apps are cancer. Otter.ai for example, by default, will scrape the call's contacts, and email every single one, saying they can access the notes if they sign-up. A 300 person meeting, their spam bot sends out 300 emails. Totally captive audience, and the person who installed the notetaker is often none the wiser that it happened.

Even if just one person installs it, it resets the iteration and can begin again.

Just like malware.

I mean.. it's literally sending an audio stream of the meeting and it's contents to an external server? It's not even malware. This is a virus.
