AudioNotes
AudioNotes is a local, private tool that converts audio and video files into transcripts and structured Markdown notes using AI.
AudioNotes is an open-source application designed for organizing meetings, interviews, lectures, and voice memos. It operates entirely on the user's local machine using FunASR for speech recognition and Ollama for large language models, ensuring that recordings and transcripts are not sent to third-party services. Users can upload media files or record directly through a browser, and the tool generates full transcripts alongside summarized Markdown notes. It also supports conversational queries about the content, such as asking for conclusions or specific details. The application requires Docker or a Python environment and is intended for users who prioritize data control.
