Transcripted for Developers
Your meetings are context. Your codebase is context. Your calendar is context. Right now, meeting transcripts live in silos — cloud services, proprietary formats, inaccessible to your tools. Transcripted puts them on your filesystem as markdown.

Developers live in local files. Your code, your docs, your notes — they're all on disk. But meeting transcripts? They're locked in cloud services, exported as PDFs, or trapped in proprietary formats. You can't grep them, you can't pipe them, you can't build tools around them.
Transcripted changes that. Every meeting becomes a markdown file in ~/Documents/Transcripted/. Speaker-labeled dialogue, timestamps, YAML frontmatter with metadata. It's just files on your filesystem, ready for your tools.
How developers use Transcripted
Here's what the workflow looks like:
- Record a 1:1 with a teammate — Transcripted saves it as
2025-01-15-1-1-with-sarah.md - Use ripgrep to search across all meeting transcripts:
rg "Q2 roadmap" ~/Documents/Transcripted/ - Build a CLI tool that processes transcripts and generates summaries
- Sync the folder to Obsidian for knowledge management
- Point Cursor or another AI coding assistant at the folder to answer questions about your meetings
No API calls. No integrations. No accounts. Just markdown files that work with any tool you already use.
Why local matters for developers
Cloud transcription services require you to trust them with your data. They mediate access through APIs, rate limits, and terms of service. You can't build tools around their output because you don't control the pipeline.
Transcripted's architecture eliminates the middleman. The files are on your Mac. Your tools read them directly. No API calls to external services, no rate limits, no data leaving your machine. You have full control over your meeting data.
The persistent speaker identity advantage
Most transcription tools give you "Speaker 1" and "Speaker 2." Transcripted builds voice fingerprints for each person and remembers them across meetings — weeks and months later. When you search for "what did Sarah say about the API?", it works because Transcripted knows which speaker is Sarah and has been labeling her correctly across 50 meetings.
That's the context quality that makes developer workflows actually useful.
Works with your tools
Any tool that can read local files works with Transcripted's output.
Search across all meeting transcripts with standard CLI tools. No API, no rate limits.
Sync or symlink the folder into your vault. Frontmatter is Obsidian-compatible out of the box.
Open the folder as a workspace. Ask Cursor questions about your meeting history.
Build custom tools that process transcripts. Read, parse, transform, export — you control the pipeline.
Sync the folder to your devices or version control your meeting history. Your data, your rules.
llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio — any tool that reads markdown can use Transcripted's output.
Give your tools access to your meeting context
Free. Local. Speaker-labeled. Works with any tool.
