MeetScribe Local Caption Archive

Automatically save live captions from Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet as local text—no audio or video recording

Problem

Someone wants a background tool that automatically saves live meeting captions as text only, without recording audio or video, keeping data local. Existing meeting recorders are either heavy or force cloud storage, while many people just want searchable meeting notes.

Solution

A small desktop utility watches the live caption window opened by meeting apps and saves caption text locally as timestamped Markdown or SQLite, organized by meeting and searchable by speaker, time, or keyword. No audio or video ever leaves the machine.

Users

Knowledge workers and teams who attend frequent online meetings and want searchable notes without recording.

MVP

Capture system caption windows from Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet; auto-save as timestamped text per meeting; local keyword search; Markdown export.

Revenue

One-time purchase (e.g., $19) or subscription ($5/month) for multi-language recognition and bulk export.

Why now

Remote and hybrid meetings are standard and live captions are ubiquitous, yet tools to save and search captions are almost nonexistent. Privacy pressure makes local-first attractive.
