Self-hosted offline transcription and diarization service with LLM summary

Anybody have recommendations for an easy way to grab "outbound" audio regardless of source? I meet with clients on a wide range of platforms and would love to be able to universally grab their audio to use here, regardless of what platform we're in. I know there's plenty of services, but would love to keep it all local.

Not sure what you mean by source/platforms, you might find what you need for your operating system on that discussion 3 weeks ago with links to options for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Ha, forgot to specify Windows. I'll dig into the discussion, thanks!

I do what you're describing with VB-CABLE on Windows (and Blackhole-2ch on macOS) + OBS

https://vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm

So, if you wanted to transcribe the audio from one of your physical output devices (say you had your meeting software outputting on external headphones), you could set the virtual audio device as the monitoring device on the physical external headphones. Therefore, you end up with a virtual audio input device containing the audio from your meeting software. I also do this to apply a chain of filters to my condenser mic in OBS because it picks up everything.

Keep in mind that Blackhole has to be licensed for commercial use
