How do I automatically transcribe conversations?

Focal is omnichannel - it transcribes video meetings, in-person meetings, phone calls, and past meeting recordings. Connect to your video meeting software (Zoom, Teams, Meet) to have the Focal note-taker automatically join your video meetings. Add the Focal phone number to any call for automatic transcription. Transcribe in-person by turning on Focal's mic via your browser or mobile phone. Upload recorded files of past meetings for instant transcription. After each meeting, you will have a full transcript, summaries, and key action items that can be synced with your CRM, along with many additional automations.

Is my data secure on your platform?

Yes, Focal is built with enterprise-grade security from the ground up, with a founding team that previously built fintech software for the world's largest financial institutions. Focal is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, and is uniquely built on Microsoft Azure, the most secure cloud for financial services. Enterprise-grade encryption and data storage methods are used to protect your information, with active monitoring through Vanta. No customer data is ever used to train or fine-tune our stateless AI models, and Focal does not store video or audio for compliance purposes.

What is unique about Focal?

Compliance forward: Focal is built to be the most compliant notetaker for financial advisory. Unlike other tools in the space, it is built uniquely on Microsoft Azure, the most secure cloud for financial services. Focal is also transcription only - no audio or video is ever recorded for compliance, and all notetaking bots are visible to ensure adherence to 2 party consent laws in the US. All meeting notes have strict access controls, and are not sharable to the public internet. The highest quality notes: Focal creates dynamic summaries specifically catered to your client conversation. From financial facts, to insurance coverage, to estate planning, Focal captures clean, structured notes directly out of the box. Beyond notetaking: On top of Focal's summaries, tasks, followup emails, meeting preparation, note search, and more... Focal helps you action across your tools and automate your workflows.
