On-device transcription 3

Local-first, open-source Mac meeting recorder and dictation app. Daisy is a local-first, open-source (Apache 2.0) meeting recorder and dictation tool built specifically for Apple Silicon Macs. It captures both your microphone and system audio natively without requiring a bot to join your calls. Transcriptions are performed entirely on-device utilizing WhisperKit on the Mac's Neural Engine, paired with offline diarization for speaker labeling. Transcripts are saved directly as plain Markdown files in a user-chosen local folder, such as an Obsidian vault. Daisy also features a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes your meetings as a queryable data source for AI clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor, as well as customizable modes for voice notes and push-to-talk dictation in any application.

Private on-device live captions and meeting transcription for Mac NotchLive is a privacy-focused live captioning and speech workspace for Mac. It captures system audio, microphone audio, or both, then transcribes speech locally using Whisper AI. The app provides live captions for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, videos, podcasts, lectures, calls, and other Mac apps without meeting bots or cloud uploads. It also supports dictation, translated captions, session recording, speaker-aware meeting records, participant review, Meeting Analytics, Meeting Intelligence, voice notes, transcript exports, and optional local MCP connections for AI tools. Captions and speech recognition run on the Mac after the required models and language packs are downloaded.

Chrome extension for one-keystroke tone rewriting and on-device speech drafting Unvent is a Chrome extension that rewrites drafts directly in any text field on the web, including emails, messaging apps, social platforms, and productivity tools. Users can apply a one-keystroke rewrite in three tones: Polished, Direct, or Warm. Unvent also includes Flow Mode, which uses on-device speech recognition to turn spoken, tangled thoughts into clean drafts while removing fillers, stutters, and self-corrections. It supports platforms such as Gmail, Slack, Linear, LinkedIn, Notion, and Discord. Unvent states that drafts are never stored, logged, or used for training, and that audio processed through Flow Mode never leaves the user's device.
