AI Meeting Note Taker: Hearsay

Voice Recorder: Speech to Text

Only for Mac

Free · In‑App Purchases

Mac

Hearsay turns your Mac calls and meetings into a clean, speaker-labeled transcript — right on your Mac, without sending audio anywhere. RECORD THE WHOLE CONVERSATION Hearsay captures two tracks at once: your microphone and the audio of other participants from apps like Teams, Zoom, Google Meet or FaceTime. Capture is passive — your voice still goes to the call, and everyone keeps playing in your headphones. Nothing is interrupted. EVERY VOICE ON ITS OWN TRACK Your side is always labeled “Me”. Other participants are separated into speakers automatically, and both tracks are merged into a single, time-ordered dialogue. No more guessing who said what. ON-DEVICE RECOGNITION Speech recognition and speaker identification run entirely on your Mac using Apple Silicon. Models are downloaded once and stored locally. Your recordings never leave your computer. Works in English, Russian, French and German, with automatic language detection for mixed-language meetings. ASK THE ASSISTANT Get a short summary of the meeting or ask the assistant anything about the conversation: what was decided, what you promised, when the deadline is. Only the transcript text is sent to the assistant — and only when you ask. KEEP AND SHARE Every recording is saved with its audio and transcript. Copy the text or export it as Markdown to your notes. FREE AND PRO The free version records the full conversation and transcribes the first 30 minutes. Hearsay Pro removes the limit, unlocks the assistant and export, and starts with a 3-day free trial. Subscription renews monthly; cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. REQUIREMENTS macOS 14.4 or later on a Mac with Apple Silicon. Capturing other participants requires the System Audio Recording permission; without it Hearsay records the microphone only.
