What is a Granola alternative that supports Chinese transcription?

Audiee.ai is the closest Granola alternative for Chinese: the same bot-free capture on a Mac, with Mandarin, Cantonese and English recognized in the same sentence by default. Granola does support Mandarin and Cantonese through its multi-language mode, but it is a setting to enable, its notes live in Granola's cloud, and its strength is the single polished English note. Audiee.ai is bilingual without configuration, learns the names and terms you correct, writes the summary in the meeting's main language, and adds what Granola lacks: every meeting filed into a knowledge base on your Mac, people and project pages, answers with citations, dictation into any app in Chinese or English, translate mode, and a local MCP server for Claude Code and Cursor. It also detects Lark (Feishu) calls, common in Chinese-speaking companies. Audiee.ai is Mac only, like Granola's origin, and with three free hours of transcription every month. Moving over is simple: export Granola notes as Markdown and drop them into Audiee.ai's Knowledge tab.
