On-device transcriber that's 97% accurate at identifying speakers
I’ve spent the last seven months building a tool I wish I’d had in my previous roles. MimicScribe is a macOS menu bar app that fits the "AI notetaker" category. It has accurate on-device speaker identification (a first possibly?), real-time meeting talking points for discovery calls, and a fully keyboard- and voice-driven interface. I believe the accuracy of the speaker ID system is its biggest strength. I used fluid audio’s port of (https://github.com/fluidInference/FluidAudio) Pyannote's community-1 as a base.

On-device AI meeting notetaker for macOS. Identifies every speaker with 98% benchmarked accuracy and transcribes in real time — no meeting bots; your audio never leaves your Mac.
Free meeting recordings and summaries. No credit card or email needed. Anything you miss leaves you guessing at the end or needing a follow-up. The assistant tracks three things so you don't end up there. “Ask what ‘manual slog’ actually means — where’s the time going?” “Ask which renewals are at risk if reporting doesn’t change.” A detail from your prep that doesn't surface when it should. “They dropped a rigid reporting tool last year — lead with why custom fits.” Tuned against a 96-scenario benchmark to nearly eliminate hallucinations. A system-level shortcut, like Spotlight or Raycast. Or let it start itself (beta) → Add your docs in any format and the right details surface at the right…from mimicscribe.app

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
