About "Klang"
What is Klang?
Klang (クラング) is an AI meeting-minutes and transcription service developed and provided by Klang AI AB of Sweden. A meeting bot joins online meetings, in-person meetings are recorded with the smartphone app, and recorded files only need to be uploaded — Klang then automatically handles everything from transcription to summaries, decisions and tasks. Recorded meetings can be searched together: ask something like "When was the price revision decided, and by whom?" and Klang answers across the meetings you can access, based on what was actually said.
Klang was developed in Sweden and launched its Japanese version in August 2026 (according to Klang AI AB's press release). It offers a Japanese web app, iOS and Android apps, and payment in Japanese yen, and accepts usage questions and adoption inquiries by email in Japanese. A key message is that even the Free plan has no limit on transcription time.

How to use
- Create an account Sign up from "Start for free" on the official website. The Free plan requires no credit card. On a PC it runs in the browser, with no software to install.
- Capture meetings For Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, connect your calendar once and choose conditions; the meeting bot then joins at the scheduled time and records. In-person meetings are recorded with the iPhone/Android app or in the browser, and recorded audio/video can be uploaded (up to 10 GB per file).
- Review the minutes When the meeting ends, a transcript and draft summary, decisions and tasks (with owners and deadlines) are ready. Registering company and product names in the glossary (Pro plan) makes correct spelling more likely.
- Share and look back Minutes can be exported to Word, Excel, SRT, VTT and more (Free plan: one text export per month). On the Pro plan, minutes can be sent automatically to Slack, Notion, CRMs and other tools after each meeting.

- File upload — Recorded audio and video, up to 10 GB per file

02Summarize
AI takes over the work that follows transcription.
- AI summary, decisions and tasks — A draft of the minutes is created as soon as the meeting ends
- Automatic speaker identification — Records who said what (Pro plan; the Free plan only previews the opening part)
- Glossary — Register company names, personal names and industry abbreviations to reduce errors in proper nouns (Pro plan)
- Translation — Translate transcripts into 17 languages including English (Pro plan)
03Search and connect
Turns past meetings into records you can pull up later.
- Cross-meeting search and AI chat — Answers across the meetings you can access, citing actual remarks

- Automations — Sends meeting reports automatically to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, HubSpot, Pipedrive, email or a webhook (Pro plan)
- MCP server — Read-only. Lets your own AI, such as ChatGPT or Claude, reference meeting records (all plans; up to 30 calls/day on Free, 1,000 on Pro)
When a meeting ends, the AI organizes the summary, decisions and to-dos separately. In this screen, a summary such as "Decided the budget allocation policy for next term" and to-dos with owners have been created from a weekly meeting.
Ask in the search box something like "When and by whom was the budget policy decided?" and Klang answers across past meetings, listing the actual remarks behind the answer with the meeting name and date.

Security and data handling
The official website states that conversation data is not used to train AI models and that Klang has obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. Data is encrypted at rest with a key unique to each workspace, and communications are encrypted with TLS 1.2 or later. Deleted data is removed including backups, and the key that encrypted the file is destroyed as well.
Access protection includes two-factor authentication (2FA) and per-folder visibility settings. The Business plan adds SSO and audit logs, and the Enterprise plan supports "Klang Vault" (BYOK, where the customer holds the encryption keys) and on-premises deployment. Storage and processing regions are answered individually per configuration. A security checklist (Excel) for internal reviews is also available on the official website.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Even the Free plan has no limit on transcription time, and automatic meeting-bot joining is free
- The paid Pro plan is ¥980 per user per month billed annually (tax included), set by the number of users regardless of meeting count or length
- Search across past meetings answers questions citing actual remarks
- Automatic delivery to Slack, Notion, HubSpot and more, plus a read-only MCP server, lets other tools and AI use the records
Cons
- Automatic speaker identification is a Pro feature; the Free plan only previews the opening part
- The Free plan opens only the last 30 days of records and allows one export per month
- The Japanese version only launched in August 2026, and training of a Japanese-specific speech recognition model was still about to begin (as of the September 2026 announcement)
- Inquiries are handled by email; a phone number is disclosed only on request (per the Specified Commercial Transactions Act disclosure)
Reputation and reviews
The official website says more than 100,000 people have signed up. For reviews in Japan, Klang has a product page on ITreview, a review site for business IT products. When considering adoption, the reliable approach is to import one recording of your own meeting on the Free plan, check the transcript and summary, and then use the Pro plan's 7-day free trial to see whether you need speaker identification.
