Ghost Pepper Meet local meeting transcription and diarization

100% local & private transcription engine for macOS. Captures & does speaker diarization. Originally was building as its own app, but can leverage same local models from my original push-to-talk voice transcription product so combined them into one app.

In plain words

Ghost Pepper is a macOS transcription tool that records meetings and identifies which speaker is talking at any given time. All processing happens locally on the user's computer with no data sent elsewhere. The maker combined this meeting transcription feature with their existing voice transcription models to create a single application for professionals who need private meeting records.

    I built this because I wanted to see how far I could get with a voice-to-text app that used 100% local models so no data left my computer. I've been using a ton for coding and emails. Experimenting with using it as a voice interface for my other agents too. 100% open-source MIT license, would love feedback, PRs, and ideas on where to take it.

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
