Field notes
The described workflow separates system audio from optional microphone input, labeling the two sides “Them” and “You.” Recognition is handled by Apple Speech or Whisper on the Mac, and sessions are kept in a searchable history. The page lists exports to Markdown, plain text, SRT, VTT, and Apple Notes, and says macOS Core Audio taps replace the need for a virtual audio driver.
