How it works

Follow it live, then finish with the complete result.

HushNote brings mixed-language live transcription, real-time speaker labels, transcript refinement, and final speaker calibration into one local-first path.

01

Record or import audio

Start a meeting, interview, or class recording, or bring in existing audio from Files and the share sheet.

02

Transcribe mixed speech live

Chinese, English, and natural switching stay in one low-latency stream you can read during recording.

03

Label speakers in real time

Designed for 2–4 people. Speaker labels catch up as the model becomes ready, while ASR remains the highest priority.

04

Refine both layers after recording

A stronger model corrects transcript segments and the full recording calibrates the speaker timeline before summary and export.

Product boundary

What HushNote intentionally does not try to be.

  • Not a team workspace with cloud collaboration layers.
  • Not a chat-first AI assistant with a giant prompt box.
  • Not a heavy setup flow that asks you to configure before you can capture.

Built for

Focused recording scenarios where privacy and readability matter.

Meetings

Capture the live discussion, then scan the structured summary and the key moments afterward.

Interviews

Keep the interview flowing while HushNote helps you return to the important sections later.

Voice notes

Use the same workflow for solo capture when you want a cleaner review than a plain audio list.

Sensitive notes

The interface and runtime both stay aligned with a local-first, privacy-conscious posture.

What changed

Version 1.3.0 gives live and final results distinct jobs.

The live path prioritizes latency and readability. The post-recording path uses full context to improve transcript accuracy and speaker attribution.

Mixed speech stays in one stream

The new live engine reduces breaks around language switching and keeps bilingual speech in one transcript.

Low-latency live labels

Speaker processing runs beside ASR and yields whenever the highest-priority transcription path needs room.

Full-audio final calibration

After recording, HushNote checks the complete speaker timeline. If a split cannot be mapped reliably, the original ASR segment stays intact.

Summary models no longer inflate the initial install

Download a local summary model only when needed, choose one that fits the device, and remove it at any time.

Start with the simplest version

The point is not to add more screens. The point is to help you capture once and review clearly.

If that matches how you work, the App Store version is already live for iPhone.
