Free Meeting Transcription is a browser-based tool designed to provide live transcription, AI-generated summaries, and action item extraction for meetings. Users can transcribe any meeting directly within a browser tab by simply opening the tool, clicking record, and allowing microphone access. The service is positioned for individuals who need quick, structured notes from online meetings, and it operates without requiring downloads, installations, or user signups.
The tool supports a range of web-based meeting platforms, including Google Meet, Zoom (when joined from the browser), Microsoft Teams (web app), Webex (browser join), Discord, and Gather. For in-person meetings or calls played through a device's speakers, the tool can capture audio via the device's microphone. However, meetings held in native desktop applications or phone dial-ins require a separate app, which is not part of the free browser tool. Transcription is performed live and on-device, using Whisper for desktops and Moonshine for phones, ensuring that audio data never leaves the user's machine. Only the resulting text transcript is sent to the summarizer for generating summaries and action items, and users can choose to skip the summary feature if desired.
Privacy is a core aspect of the service. No audio is uploaded to external servers, and there is no bot joining the meeting or notifying other participants. The tool does not require an account or collect user emails unless a user chooses to send the notes to themselves, in which case the email is used solely for that purpose and not retained. All data handling is transparent, with no tracking cookies tied to users.
This offering is completely free and operates as a one-shot, in-browser solution, with nothing saved between sessions. For users seeking persistent local meeting history or support for desktop apps, related products such as a Chrome extension or a separate app are available, but the core free tool focuses on immediate, privacy-conscious transcription and summarization for browser-based meetings.
