Meeting notes from your recordings, made on your own computer
Drop a recording. Whisper transcribes it in your browser, in 10-minute slices so long files fit in memory, and Hearlark Pro makes the notes on your device: a summary, decisions, action items with an owner and a due phrase, open questions and topics. Name the speakers with a tap and export to Word, Markdown or JSON. The recording is never uploaded.

FAQ
Does it join my Zoom or Teams calls?
No. Hearlark Pro works on recordings you already have, which is why nothing is uploaded and there is no meeting bot.
How fast is it?
It depends on your computer: a 60-minute recording took 24 minutes on a 4-core cloud CPU; machines with WebGPU are faster.
Why not Otter?
Otter joins live calls and runs in its cloud, with 1,200 minutes a month on Pro. Hearlark Pro keeps recordings private, has no minute cap and costs $10/month.
