stenoai

What it does

Handles recording, transcription, summarising and question-answering over your meetings using local models only - no cloud service is involved and there are no usage limits, which is the point for people in government, finance or legal work who cannot send recordings anywhere. Running the models locally demands a reasonably capable machine. Get participants' consent before recording, and check important decisions against the original audio rather than the summary.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
