Earlier quoted context omitted.

And if it runs on the browser without install it would not probably be able to record your other browser (or app) audio

Why not? You can run Google Meet, Zoom, Teams in the browser, including screen sharing with audio sharing. The browser APIs are there (e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt... ).

A webpage cannot provide a system I/O device (camera, microphone, speaker, etc.). That requires a signed driver on MacOS.

I've tried so many of these and paid for a lot of them and I still can't find what I want. It sounds like this is closer than most:

- record and separate two sides of the conversation

- save meetings in a simple transcription format in a local folder

- connect with my calendar (Outlook, Google Calendar) and name meeting transcripts accordingly

- for recurring meetings, append rather than create a new transcript

- let me label speaker voices and recognise those voices across different meetings

A tool that did all this and then ALSO built a knowledge base to let me RAG query my meetings would be the holy grail for me.

I'd love to have a purchase option not tied to the App Store if possible. I don't use an Apple account with my Mac, but I would love to try Trace.

Agreed, no need to tie it into Apple either.

try amore.computer - that might do the trick?

This is an excellent product and exactly what I've been looking for. But most of my meetings are done on my company Mac, and they definitely won't let me install this kind of software, even though I'd be willing to pay for it myself.

And if it runs on the browser without install it would not probably be able to record your other browser (or app) audio

Maybe we ought to be making little hardware passthroughs that plug into the headphone/mic jack and control them with idk the Caps Lock signal from USB HID to start recording.

It's very cyberpunk eventually...the human operator of the console needs to be able to see and hear the screen and sound, there will always be an interface that can be adapted to a machine, however low-fidelity

Really nice, I will buy now and test out. How did you make the video on your website? And are you based in UK?

Thanks for the support. The videos are Vue components with CSS animations. As mentioned in a previous reply I’m happy to share the component if it’s of interest.

Yep, based in Sheffield, UK.
