I stopped using them when I saw they share with everyone by default. I wanted the notes only for myself so I could be more present in meetings but not at the expense of making everyone feel like they have to watch what they're saying because it's being transcribed.

That's really only just hiding the fact that they should be watching what they're saying, though. If someone is sending a copy of our private conversation to a random third party, I'd certainly like to know about it.

If anything, this "warning" only makes me trust this service more because I don't have to wonder if this service is listening in.

"by default". I assume sharing can be turned off by the user.

That approach sounds like a potential problem for more-than-one party consent jurisdictions.

Even in one party consent jurisdictions you're not just allowed to send a copy off to whoever you like. Often it's permitted for personal review or for gathering evidence, but it's not necessarily allowed to sell the conversation (or send it to a third party in exchange for something else, like this transcription).
