The local transcription app for meetings, dictation and recordings

About talat

talat is a private meeting transcription app for Mac and Windows that records, transcribes and summarizes entirely on the user's own computer, with no bot joining the call and no account required. It auto-starts from the calendar, labels speakers, works offline, and exports to Markdown, Obsidian and PDF. Users can rely on the built-in on-device model or plug in their own cloud API key for summaries.
