Is there a setting for Swiss German?
Yes. Next to German, Slate lists German (Swiss) as a regional variant for recordings. Choose it as the meeting language when the speakers are Swiss.
The regional variants apply to recordings. Live sessions use the general German setting.
Lectures in German, notes in your language?
International students can record a German lecture, keep the German transcript to look up terms, and get the summary in English or their own language. Slate is made in Berlin, and the free plan includes 100 minutes a month; see pricing.
Recording an appointment you need to remember?
For a meeting at an office or a doctor's appointment of your own, a recording means you can check what was said later instead of relying on memory. Ask first: the recording consent guide explains why the rules differ from place to place, and the security page explains how Slate handles your audio.
