Most meeting note tools send a bot into your call and upload the recording to their servers. This one works differently: you share the meeting tab with this page, and Whisper turns the sound into text right in your browser.

Your own microphone is transcribed as a separate speaker, so the transcript shows who said what: «Me» for you, «Meeting» for everyone else. Lines appear a few seconds after each sentence.

It works with every meeting that runs in a browser tab: Google Meet, Zoom in the browser, Microsoft Teams on the web, Webex, Whereby, Jitsi and webinars. At the end you can copy the text or save it as TXT, Markdown, SRT or VTT.

Everything runs inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored on our server, so it also works for private material.

## How it works

1. **Open the tool** No app and no account needed.
2. **Allow access if asked** Recorders need permission for the screen, microphone or camera. Your browser asks you first.
3. **Use it as long as you like** There is no time limit. Save the result or just close the tab.

## FAQ

**Does a bot join my meeting?**
No. Nobody joins the call. The page only listens to the tab you share with it, like a screen share that stays on your computer.

**Is my meeting uploaded?**
No. The audio never leaves your browser. Only the Whisper speech model is downloaded once from Hugging Face and then kept by your browser.

**Does it work with the Zoom or Teams desktop app?**
No, only with meetings in a browser tab. Open the meeting link in Chrome or Edge instead of the app (Zoom: «Join from your browser»).

**Why do I not see my own words?**
Allow the microphone when the browser asks. Your voice is not part of the meeting tab, because the meeting app does not play your own voice back to you.

**Can it tell the other people apart?**
Not yet. Everything from the meeting tab is labelled «Meeting», your microphone is labelled «Me».

**Is it legal to transcribe a meeting?**
Ask the others first. In many countries, including Switzerland and Germany, recording a private conversation without consent is a crime.

**Is it free?**
Yes. No account, no watermark, no time limit.

**Is anything uploaded?**
No. It all happens on your device.
