What it means

Because the audio never leaves the machine, it's the most private way to transcribe a meeting — and it works offline.

Humla can transcribe on-device using Whisper on Apple Silicon, so a whole meeting can go from audio to summary without anything leaving your Mac.

Keep your meetings on your Mac.

Free and open source. Apple Silicon, macOS 13 or later.
