Talat

Its transcription runs on your computer, and recordings, transcripts, and notes are stored in a local database. The app is available for Mac and Windows, with 10 hours of free recording time and no account required.

For meetings, talat can capture both sides of a conversation, transcribe in real time, identify speakers, connect with Apple and Google calendars, and start recording automatically on services such as Zoom, Teams, and Meet. It can also produce summaries, action items, and chapters using its built-in AI or an optional cloud model chosen by the user.

For dictation, a global hotkey lets users speak into any app, with optional text cleanup and automatic pasting. Users can also import audio and video files for transcription. talat supports searchable history, custom vocabulary, and exports to formats and tools including Markdown, Obsidian, PDF, webhooks, and MCP-compatible assistants.
