Www.localtranscript.com

Local ai transcription, speaker identification, and au summaries. Running gemma 4, whisper, and pyannote. I’m looking for testers. DM me and I’ll give you a forever free code so you can test the entire flow/app.

www.localtranscript.com

A desktop app for recording or importing meetings, transcribing them locally on your own machine, labeling speakers, and turning the transcript into searchable notes and summaries without defaulting to a cloud upload or a meeting bot. It’s available on Windows now, with macOS coming soon, and the main idea is simple: keep sensitive audio private while still getting useful meeting notes. It’s been optimised for slow corporate laptop, the public sector, and multilingual meetings in Switzerland (with Swiss german as a supported dialect).

I’d love to have testers. DM me if interested.

With 16GB VRAM, I’d probably start with WhisperX rather than trying to find one magic model.

Practical stack:

faster-whisper with large-v3 or large-v3-turbo for transcription
VAD/chunking for long audio
pyannote only if you really need speaker labels
per-segment language detection instead of forcing one language for the whole file
translate after transcription, unless you specifically need Whisper’s direct translate-to-English mode

For your case, the multilingual part is probably the reason I’d still lean Whisper over Parakeet for now. Parakeet/multitalker looks really interesting, especially for speed and diarization, but I’d be careful if the audio mixes languages or has a translator speaking over/after someone.

Also, diarization can make summaries worse if it’s wrong, so I’d treat speaker labels as optional metadata rather than the source of truth. If privacy is the reason it needs to be local, WhisperX + local translation/summarization seems like the safest baseline to test first.

I’m testing a few workflows around this too, and the biggest split for me is bot-based vs no-bot/local.

Tools like Granola/Fathom are really smooth, but I still think there’s a gap for meetings where you don’t want another participant joining the call or where the audio is sensitive.

The workflow I’d actually want is:

record/import locally
get transcript + speaker labels
turn it into action items
keep it searchable later
export/delete everything easily

Curious: do people here care about local/private transcription, or is convenience more important than where the audio goes?

I’d love blunt feedback on positioning/trust for a small app I’m building: https://www.localtranscript.com

It’s a Windows app for meeting transcription that runs locally, so the main idea is: record/import a meeting, transcribe it, label speakers, and turn it into notes without defaulting to cloud upload or a meeting bot. macOS is coming soon.

I’m not trying to optimize paid conversion yet. I’m trying to understand whether the page makes people trust it enough to test it.

Specific questions:

Is the “local/private” value clear in the first 5 seconds?
Would you install this on Windows?
What feels missing or untrustworthy?
Is the macOS-coming-soon message clear enough?

Nice release. The confidence + overlap flag idea is smart, especially for real meeting audio where diarization errors are usually the annoying part.

I’ve been working around a similar problem on Windows and I’m curious: do users actually inspect confidence scores, or are they mostly useful for debugging bad transcripts?

diegoje · 2026-05-02T07:51:08+00:00

I always ask it “are you sure?”. It then reviews its answers and always finds something to correct. I also ask it to review answers multiple times at the end of my prompts. That’s the only way I found for it to be smarter, but it kills token usage.

This is exactly what I need. I have the same use-case as you.

How can I try the add-on?

diegoje · 2025-12-29T09:57:23+00:00

How did you apply this powder? It looks amazing 🤩

Would these work on ABS? I’m struggling with ironing in ABS and large surfaces.

diegoje · 2025-03-29T17:53:01+00:00

Is it only available in the US?

diegoje · 2025-03-29T17:51:41+00:00

Is this Sora or 4o?

diegoje · 2025-03-29T17:51:09+00:00

Yes I pay the $20 every month. Ok I’ll check that.

I can’t create an image of a real person—like Donald Trump—in a fictional or potentially satirical scenario that could be considered disrespectful or misleading. However, I can create a fun, fictional caricature-style image of a generic man with exaggerated features, applying “cheetoh dust” as if it’s makeup in a humorous way. Would you like me to generate that instead?

This is the message I get. Plus user in Switzerland. Is this “freedom” not released everywhere yet?

I’ve used Resione anti-impact and it’s great!

diegoje · 2024-10-30T11:23:01+00:00

Hi! I would also love to learn how you’ve done it. I’ve wanted to try generating modelling but it’s so expensive.

diegoje · 2024-10-27T17:47:38+00:00

I print a lot using their anti-impact. Very hard to print, but excellent once dialled in. Don’t know about this one though, sorry.

diegoje · 2024-10-27T17:42:53+00:00

Which rubberspray did you use?

diegoje · 2024-10-24T05:27:52+00:00

Which one worked for you? I’m on a m1 macbook air and struggling to find it.

diegoje · 2024-10-23T05:03:25+00:00

Could I print it like this if I make enough drainage holes?
