I learned about Hyprnote, a small application that uses local LLMs to transcribe meetings. I’ve been using it the last week or so. It’s surprisingly useful: I no longer have to go to Sharepoint to download transcripts for Teams calls (and request access for them if I was not the owner of the meeting) and I also get transcripts for non-Teams calls. Because this all runs locally, no data is leaving my Mac.
There are basically 4 panes:
- Left-hand side bar that shows the previous meetings
- Middle bar that shows either notes you take (in Markdown) or a generated summary of the meeting
- Right-hand side that shows the transcription (with speaker diarization)
- You can chat with your transcript too
For transcription, they are leveraging the whisper models. I’m using Large which turns out to be ggml-large-v3-turbo-q8_0.bin.
For summaries, they are leveraging a custom model called hypr-llm.gguf that is 1.11GB.
