Why Google Meet Caption is not good enough? 

It is free and easy to use, but you might find it not so useful during the meeting and here are a few reasons: 

1. The captions come and go, so you won’t be able to go through what was said in the past.
2. The transcript will not be stored anywhere just by opening the caption after the meeting.
3. Google will not leave you AI meeting notes.
