Local Transcription

A terminal app that locally transcribes audio and video meetings, eliminating third‑party services, with simple one‑command execution and automatic file cleanup.

Overview

Too many meetings and recordings have private information that you dont want shared with 3rd party transcription services and platforms.

I built a simple terminal app that transcribes all my meetings and recordings without using the platform automations. This runs with one command and does file cleanup. Its simple and rough, but it gets the job done reliably.
