talat

talat is a private, on-device transcription app for meetings, dictation and recordings on macOS and Windows. It records your mic and system audio, auto-starts on Zoom, Teams and Meet calls, transcribes live, identifies who said what, and writes a summary, action points and chapters when the meeting ends. Dictate into any app with a hotkey, or import existing audio and video. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and it works offline. 10 hours free, then $9 a month or $189 once.

talat is a local, private transcription app for meetings, dictation, and recordings on macOS and Windows. Everything you say is transcribed and stored on your own computer. No audio is uploaded, no account is required, and nothing ever trains on your conversations. It works fully offline, even on an air-gapped machine. Record meetings: talat captures your mic and system audio as separate channels, detects Zoom, Teams, Meet and other calls, and can start and stop recording itself, always with a visible notice. Words appear live as they're spoken, speakers are identified on-device and recognised across future meetings, and the moment a meeting ends you get a summary, action points, chapters and a title. Dictate anywhere: press a hotkey, speak into any app, and the text is pasted for you, with optional LLM cleanup that keeps your words. Import recordings: drop in audio or video files and they go through the same on-device pipeline. Summaries run on a built-in local model by default, or bring your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Calendar sync, an MCP server, webhooks, and Markdown, PDF and Obsidian export connect it to the tools you already use. 10 hours free, then $9 a month or $189 once. Built by a team of two
