- Worth noticing
- Audio is kept locally, but first run downloads the runtime and models, about 870 MB in total.
Field notes
Recording audio is stored as lossless FLAC, around 90 MB per hour, with a 30-day default retention period; transcripts remain until deleted. The site says an RTX 3080 processed an hour-long import in about two minutes, while also noting that overlapping speech, noisy rooms, and far-field microphones are difficult cases. Live speaker labels are provisional until the post-recording pass.
