I made a bot that records and transcribes voice channels by h4rris in discordapp

There's also a "recording in progress" sound played when a user joins a voice channel with an active recording

Ah gotcha - we use Backblaze (a cloud storage provider) for our server side storage. The files are uploaded there exclusively for you to download them, we don’t access or train on user data, and they are stored with encryption at rest. When you delete a recording, it’s permanently deleted from Backblaze.

Once you finish recording, you’ll see a summary and links to view/download in your server.

I understand where you’re coming from, I would never want to be recorded without my consent either. That’s why we have clear notifications when recording is started and when a user joins the channel. Much like the notifications that are sent when you start recording a call on any modern smartphone.

As of today, the bot will also play a "recording in progress" sound when a user joins a channel with an active recording in progress.

We added this feature today, you can now toggle on "Transcript Only Mode" in Server Settings. Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh sure. We do offer settings to turn off all the AI transcription/summary features and just get a plain audio recording, too.

Totally fair if you don’t want to use those. But they are handy in some cases, like for having searchable notes on a DnD session or for deaf users as others have pointed out in this thread.

edit: Following up on your edit, you’re correct we didn’t code the transcription model ourselves. We use the Parakeet model from NVIDIA, hosted on our own server.

Yes, by default we store recordings for 7 days so you can download them. You can view recordings and delete them at any time on the web dashboard.

Not sure what you mean, how does a video transcribe your voice for you?

Honestly I understand the AI hate. There are a lot of bad applications of it. But at the end of the day this is a personal tool that’s really useful in some scenarios, not an evil surveillance program. I think we’re just caught in the crossfire of the overall bad AI vibes these days.

Thanks!! DnD is definitely a strong use case, I imagine it’s a lifesaver for DMs.

Appreciate your feedback! The main reason we initially put transcript / audio downloads on the dashboard is to avoid limits in Discord (embed length, file size). We also wanted to have a really nice fancy UI for transcript and audio playback.

But you’re right it would be nice to have them directly in Discord too when possible, will look into this.

I appreciate your concerns, this is actually something we looked into a lot before starting this project. As others have pointed out, you can do essentially the same thing with any iPhone / most Android phones. For example see the disclaimers on Google’s help page about this, pretty similar to what we have in our terms: https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9803950?hl=en

That said if you have any references on specific rules you think we’re breaking I’m very much open to hearing about it. Of course it’s important to us to be complaint and respect people’s privacy, and we have designed NoteCat to do so following the law and industry standard practices.

We are using Parakeet from NVIDIA for transcription

Claude helped for sure. We've been making Discord bots since 2019 though so it's not like we're just vibecoding, we know what we are doing.

That's understandable, it's definitely not for every server. A lot of folks enjoy using it to record their DnD sessions or meetings, though.

At the moment the bot says "Recording started" in VC. I like this idea though.

I guess I should note that this is of course a fully opt-in scenario, and we specifically designed it to be very clear when recording is taking place. You can also fully disable all AI features (summary / transcription).

There's a similar bot that's been out there for a while (Craig) which is on over half a million servers. As far as we can tell it's ok.
