Meeting transcription that stays in the room
Meeting audio is the most sensitive audio there is: strategy, salaries, customers, disagreements. Sending that to a cloud transcription service — or inviting a bot to sit in the call — means trusting someone else’s retention policy with your most candid conversations.
This tool takes the opposite approach: the recording is transcribed in your browser, on your machine, and nothing else ever sees it. Your files are never uploaded — everything runs on your device. No meeting bot, no third-party processor, no account to breach.

How to transcribe a meeting
-
Export the recording
Download the audio or video from your meeting platform (or use a local recording). MP3, M4A, WAV, and MP4 all work directly.
-
Drop it in — locally
The transcript streams in with timestamps while the file processes. An hour-long meeting keeps its progress and ETA visible throughout.
-
Search, correct, share deliberately
Find the decisions with the search box, fix names inline, and export TXT or JSON. What leaves your machine is a file you chose to share.
For confidential conversations
No third-party processor
Cloud transcription adds a company to your meeting’s audience. Local transcription adds no one — the audio is processed and discarded from memory on your own device.
Simpler compliance story
Explaining a tool that never transmits audio is easier than reviewing another vendor’s data-processing agreement. Your recording never crosses the network at all.
Long meetings welcome
No minute caps means the two-hour all-hands is as transcribable as the five-minute stand-up. Progress streams the whole way.
Meeting transcription questions
- Is this safe for confidential meetings?
- The architecture is the answer: the recording is never uploaded, so no third party — including us — can access it. For regulated environments, that also means one less vendor in your data-flow diagram. (This is a description of how the tool works, not legal advice.)
- Does it label who is speaking?
- Not yet. The transcript is a single timed stream without speaker names. Timestamps make it easy to attribute lines while reviewing — honest limitation, on the roadmap.
- How do I get the recording out of Zoom / Teams / Meet?
- All three offer a recording download (typically MP4 or M4A) to the host after the call. Drop that file here as-is — the audio track is extracted automatically.
- Can it handle a two-hour meeting?
- Yes. Long recordings are processed in windows with streaming results, so memory stays bounded and you can read the first half while the second half transcribes.
- What does the transcription locally?
- OpenAI’s open-source Whisper model, executed by our open-source engine inside your browser — WebGPU when available, WebAssembly otherwise.
- Do you keep any copy of the transcript?
- No. The transcript exists in your browser tab and in whatever exports you download. Close the tab and it is gone from everywhere, because it never existed anywhere else.
