Hey Marshall! Cool to see this coming together, kudos for buildimg the tool you wish you had, thats the right reason to do things!

it seems like these “realtime meeting assistant / transcriber” services have taken a huge leap closer to being what I too have have often found myself wishing for. (Recently I gave Hedy AI a shot, very much in the same neighborhood functionally feels like)

out of curiosity, for Mimic’s Local Mode, whatre the tech specs required for a reasonable level of performance?

Matt, Thanks!

I just tried Hedy, same concept, also a great tool. It's todos are nice.

MimicScribe works well with any Apple silicon Mac so it'll feel snappy on an M1 with 8GB of RAM even. It uses Apple's on-device ML accelerator, the ANE. https://mimicscribe.app/docs/performance
