When Tactiq may be the better choice
Tactiq may fit better if your meetings live in supported web conferencing tools and you want its immediate summaries and actions.
When Orca One may fit better
Orca One captures microphone and system audio from the Mac and stores the transcript locally, without relying on one browser tab.
