Turn recordings into transcripts and summaries in minutes
Upload audio or video for multilingual transcription, AI notes, and action items
When you open Notta's login page, you'll see several options lined up: Continue with Google, Continue with Microsoft, Continue with Apple, and below that, an Email option. Some pages also show an SSO option.
Which one should you choose?
This article isn't about which tool is the best—it's about clarifying the login process. Many people get stuck not because of passwords, but because their login status mysteriously disappears, they have to start over on a new device, or they simply can't remember which account they originally signed up with.
Follow these 5 steps, and you probably won't encounter these problems again.
Before You Start: 4 Things to Confirm Before Logging In to Notta
- A computer with a desktop browser: Official instructions recommend using the desktop version of Chrome, Edge, or Safari for the most stable web experience.
- A third-party account you remember: Google, Microsoft, or Apple—pick one you already use regularly.
- A stable internet connection: Both login and authorization require internet access.
- If you don't have an account yet: Official documentation suggests following the "Create a Notta Account" instructions to register first, then come back to log in. Don't randomly try things on the login page.
Step 1: Open Notta's Official Website in a Computer Browser and Find the Login Entry
The only goal of this step is to make sure you're on the correct login page, not some campaign or demo page.
Go to Notta's official website using a computer browser and click "Log in" on the screen. Notta specifically recommends using the desktop version of Chrome, Edge, or Safari for the best experience. Logging in temporarily on a mobile browser isn't impossible, but authorization redirects are more likely to get stuck.
Why emphasize "using a computer"? Because after logging in, you'll usually need to upload files or recordings, and desktop operations and file handling are simply more convenient.
Once done, you should see a screen listing multiple login methods.
Step 2: Choose One Third-Party Account and Stick With It
Notta offers three third-party login options: Google, Microsoft, and Apple. You can also use Email.
How to choose? My advice is simple: pick the email address you check most often. If your company uses Microsoft 365, choose Microsoft. If you usually take notes in Google, choose Google.
One thing to note: once you choose, try to stick with it. Many people later can't find their meeting data—not because the tool failed, but because they logged in with Google one time and Apple the next, resulting in two separate accounts.
After completing this, you'll be taken to the authorization screen for that platform.
Step 3: Complete Authorization and Return to Your Notta Workspace
This is the most error-prone part of the whole process because it redirects you to Google, Microsoft, or Apple's page, making it seem like you've left Notta.
Just follow the on-screen instructions to confirm authorization. If a prompt like "This app wants to access your account" appears, confirm it's Notta before continuing.
Why pay attention to this step? Because if authorization is canceled or the pop-up is blocked by your browser, you'll go in circles and end up back at the login page.
Once completed, you should be taken back to your Notta workspace and see your file list.
Step 4: Check How Long Your Login Status Lasts
Many people don't know this: each login is valid for 30 days, after which the system will automatically log you out.
So if you haven't opened Notta for a month, having to log in again is completely normal—it's not because your account was hacked or the system is broken.
Another common situation is incognito mode. Official documentation clearly states: if you use your browser's incognito window (e.g., Chrome's incognito mode), the system won't remember your account information, and you'll have to start over after closing the tab.
If you want your login status to be remembered, use a regular browser window and don't manually clear cookies every time.
After completing this, you should be able to go directly to your workspace the next time you open the website.
Step 5: After Entering the Workspace, Check Your Plan and Quota
Successful login is just the beginning. Next, you need to confirm "how much you can use."
Stop organizing recordings by hand
Upload audio or video and automatically get a transcript, summary, and action items
According to the current official page, Notta's free plan offers 120 transcription minutes per month, with a maximum of 3 minutes per recording; the Pro plan costs about USD 8.17/month when billed annually, with 1,800 minutes per month; the Business plan costs about USD 16.67/seat/month when billed annually. Prices and benefits are subject to change; refer to Notta's official pricing page for the latest information.
Why check this at the beginning? Because if you only realize after using up your quota, it's often too late to change plans, and you'll have to wait until the next cycle.
Once done, you can start uploading audio files or recording.
Common Questions and Troubleshooting
Q: Why doesn't Notta's web version remember my login status?
First, check if you're using incognito mode. Incognito windows prevent the system from remembering account information—this is the most common reason. Second, make sure your browser isn't set to "clear cookies on close."
Q: How long does the login status last?
According to official documentation, each login is valid for 30 days, after which you'll be automatically logged out and need to log in again.
Q: Do I have to set a login password?
Official account documentation includes entries like "Is it necessary to set a login password?" and "How to log in to Notta without a password," indicating that third-party account login is the primary method. If you usually log in with Google or Apple, you don't need to remember a separate password, but it's also recommended to ensure two-factor authentication is enabled on that third-party account.
Q: I originally logged in with Google. Can I switch to Email login later?
Official documentation does address the question "Can I switch from third-party login to standard Email?" However, switching involves account binding and carries the risk of creating two separate accounts. It's best to follow the official account instructions directly rather than trying both methods on the login page yourself.
Q: Is Notta Showcase login the same as the main site?
The Showcase page also offers Continue with Google, Microsoft, and Apple, plus an additional SSO option. If you're on Showcase instead of the main workspace, that's a different entry point.
Q: Should I use the same account on mobile and computer?
Yes, it's recommended. Log in with the same third-party account so your data stays consolidated.
Advanced Tips: 3 Ways to Make Your Notta Account Work Smoother
1. Record your login method in a password manager
Not the password—record "which account I signed up with." Many people have only one Google account but three email addresses and can't remember later.
2. Use incognito mode only for temporary logins
On someone else's computer or a public device, using incognito mode is the right choice. But on your own everyday device, it just makes you log in every time.
3. Consider SSO for team scenarios
The Showcase page already shows Continue with SSO, indicating that enterprises can use single sign-on. If multiple people in your company share the same tool, having IT manage accounts centrally is cleaner than everyone logging in with their own Google account.
If You Don't Use Notta, Here's Another Approach: Tinrec
After logging in, the real challenge is still "how to turn meeting content into usable data."
If you want more than just transcribing recordings—you want to get summaries, chapters, and action items right after the meeting, and you don't want to add another bot participant to the meeting—then Tinrec is another solution.
Its desktop version directly captures computer system audio and can handle online meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, etc., without inviting an extra bot. It supports real-time recording transcription, real-time translation, and audio/video file transcription. After the meeting, it can produce transcripts, AI summaries, chapters, action items, and mind maps. It also allows AI Q&A around meeting content and exports to Notion, Google Docs, OneNote, Dropbox, and other tools for further use.
The free version provides basic quota for you to try recording, importing, summarizing, and transcribing. For team use, the team version is a separate collaborative space that includes members, roles, seats, usage analytics, audit logs, and an audio recycle bin (30-day retention). First-time eligible users can try 7 days, 1 free seat, and 300 minutes of shared team import quota. Monthly billing is USD 29.80/paid seat/month; annual billing is USD 199/paid seat/year, equivalent to about USD 16.58/month, with 2,000 minutes of shared team import quota per paid seat per month. Plans and prices are subject to the official purchase page.
Note that transcription accuracy can be affected by recording quality, noise, accents, overlapping speakers, and technical terminology. Don't expect a fixed accuracy rate; always verify important content against the original audio and transcript. Also, obtain consent from participants before recording, in accordance with local regulations.
Summary
Looking back, Notta login really comes down to three key decisions: which account to use, which browser window to use, and remembering the 30-day validity period. Once you settle these three things, everything else falls into place.
If you only occasionally organize a recording, the free plan's 120 minutes can hold you over. If you have meetings every week and the priority is "getting usable data right after the meeting," consider a different workflow that puts recording, transcription, summarization, and action items in one pipeline. Trying it once with your own meeting recording is more useful than reading ten comparison articles.
