Common Pitfalls
The biggest trap is that it does not support Chinese transcription (no Chinese in the list of 38 languages), which means it is essentially unusable for Chinese conference users. Additionally, the "infinite summary" is only a basic template, and advanced summaries are limited to 5 per month.
