From call to transcript, without leaving your Mac.

Starts with your call.

When Zoom, Teams, Meet or a Slack huddle starts using audio, Avocet can start recording on its own. Control it from the menu bar popover, or the floating widget, which can stay on every Space.

  • Mic and system audio recorded as two separate tracks
  • Menu bar icon shows idle, recording, paused and processing
  • A title prompt appears the moment recording starts

Names carry forward.

Parakeet TDT v3 transcribes the call, and FluidAudio works out who spoke, both on-device on Apple Silicon. An hour-long call is ready about 80 seconds after you stop. Every person who has spoken gets a row on your Speakers page: meeting count, last seen, and a recognition summary.

  • Audio and transcripts never leave your Mac
  • No bot joins the call
  • Voice prints form automatically from every remote segment of 3 seconds or longer

Name someone once. It is remembered from here on.

Avocet recognizes people automatically above 0.70 confidence, and asks for a quick review between 0.55 and 0.70. Naming someone for the first time relabels their past meetings too.

  • Evidence gates: 2 meetings and 20 voice prints before matching starts
  • Rejected matches are remembered and not suggested again
  • Merge or split speakers, or reassign a span of words

Markdown you own.

Export writes a markdown note plus transcript.json to a folder you choose. Regenerate it later and your corrections stay in place.

Nathan Brown The first alert was a latency spike, but the customer impact started later.
Erin Bailey At 9:18, retries began climbing on the billing webhook queue.
Nathan Brown Was that before or after the deploy?
Erin Bailey Before. The deploy finished at 9:31, so it did not start the incident.
