Ask HN: Best meeting transcription daemon for macOS?

I'm building one that finally seems to be reasonably stable https://mimicscribe.app/.

Speaker identification is a huge trick to do on device. I've masked by sentence and capture embeddings within that mask to get things more accurate.

If you try it that would be super cool and it's basically free rn while I figure out how to market.

I'm testing obsidian integration rn. It's currently available through mcp but that kind of defeats the offline transcription thing

I ended up building my own take that doesn't have an annoying UI https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49091894

lol fair that's very dev of you. The next gen of models will prob one shot my app anyway.

I like the idea of having a completely headless auto recording system. I was against it initially over privacy concerns but with completely on-device its a better idea. I might snag the concept
