- Worth noticing
- It unloads the transcription model before running the summary model; the page says 16 GB is comfortable and 8 GB workable.
Field notes
Initial setup asks users to choose a notes folder, allow audio permissions, and download models, with an option to record before models arrive and process notes later. The app shows recording status and file size, preserves audio after failures, and offers a retry with an explanation. Its model list names Qwen variants and licenses; the page says sequential loading is intended to limit memory use.
