tl dv alternative for agencies
A tl dv alternative for agencies who need usable output, not more cleanup
If tl dv still leaves too much recap work, admin drag, or lost context, this is the pain-first alternative.
Superscribe
Stop rebuilding calls from memory
Use Superscribe to capture the words, context, next steps, and time while the work is still happening.
A great call recording is not the same as a finished task. For agencies, the gap between a call summary and an updated client record is where margin disappears. You get a perfect transcript or an AI-generated recap from a tool like tl dv, but the work is not done. Someone still has to copy the key points, create tasks, write the follow-up, and update the CRM.
This manual last step is a form of waste. It is a reconstruction project that happens hours after the actual work. It pulls your team out of billable work and into administrative cleanup. If you are looking for a tl dv alternative for agencies that closes this gap, you are in the right place. Superscribe is built to turn spoken words directly into structured, usable output that flows right into your systems-no cleanup pass required.
Try it on the real workflow
Turn the next call into finished work
Use Superscribe while the context is still fresh. Make a normal call, keep working, and let the output land where it belongs.
The real cost is the step after the summary
The problem with most call recording tools is they deliver a history lesson. They give you a perfect record of what was said. This is useful, but it is not an outcome. The outcome your client pays for is the proposal, the updated task list, or the strategic follow-up.
Every minute your team spends translating a call summary into those deliverables is unbillable time. It is a drag on efficiency that compounds with every call. Context is lost, small details are forgotten, and the momentum from the conversation fades. The summary is just another inbox item to be processed later. That processing step is the hidden tax on your agency’s profitability.
A tl dv alternative for agencies who ship work, not recaps
Choosing the right tool depends on the job to be done. If the job is to record and share a conversation for later review, tl dv is a strong choice. If the job is to capture commitments, tasks, and notes from a call and get them into your workflow automatically, Superscribe is built for that specific purpose.

I built this because I hated post-call cleanup
I built Superscribe because I got tired of guessing my hours at the end of every month. I would look through emails, code, and random notes trying to remember what I did. The numbers were never right. For an agency, that same guessing game happens after every client call. You look at a transcript from a tool and have to rebuild the context to write the follow-up email and create the tasks in your project manager. You are doing the work twice.
Three years ago, I had the idea for a phone app that could automatically catch client calls. I gave up on it because it seemed too hard. In the years after that, I kept making other voice tools. Each one taught me something new. When I added automatic time tracking to the main desktop dictation app, I saw the missing piece. I needed that phone app for real client calls so everything would connect without extra work.
New AI tools helped turn what once seemed too difficult into something practical.
The best proof came on a flight. I made normal business calls with my regular phone number over the plane’s Starlink Wi-Fi. The calls got written down, cleaned up, turned into structured output, and sent straight into my work system. Agents then handled the next steps without any input from me. That used to be just a wish. Now it is how the product works.
This is the tool I always wanted for my own consulting work. You speak. Clean words and structured tasks appear right where your team works. The time, notes, and next steps happen by themselves. No timers. No guessing. Just good work that gets counted and completed.
From spoken words to a finished client record
The workflow is designed to be invisible. It happens in the background so your team can stay focused on the client.
- Make a Normal Call: You use your existing phone number. There is no special app to open, no bot to invite to a meeting. You just call the client.
- Automatic Capture: Superscribe captures the conversation and transcribes it in the background. It is designed to handle real-world audio without interrupting the flow of the call.
- Structure, Don’t Just Summarize: After the call, AI does not just create a paragraph summary. It extracts entities, tasks, and key information, then formats it as structured data-like a JSON object for your CRM or a task list for Asana.
- Route to Your System: This structured output is sent directly to the tools your agency already uses. A new client note is created, tasks are assigned, and a draft follow-up email can be generated automatically.
The loop is closed. The conversation is connected directly to the action, removing the manual, error-prone step in the middle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do my clients need to install anything or join a special platform? No. That is the key. You use your real, existing phone number to make and receive calls. For your client, it is a completely normal phone call. There is no new software for them to worry about.
How is this different from a simple transcription service? Transcription gives you a wall of text. Superscribe gives you structured output. The goal is not just to know what was said, but to make that information immediately usable by your other software systems without human intervention. It is about automation, not just documentation.
Can this connect to our agency’s CRM or project management tool? Yes. The entire purpose is to route the structured output from your calls directly into your existing systems of record. This closes the loop between conversation and action, which is the primary source of administrative drag for most agencies.
