In simple English
This browser extension records what people say during online meetings. It saves the text file straight to your computer when the call ends. Your meeting data stays private because it does not go to a cloud server. You can also send the transcript to other apps using webhooks (a way for one app to send data to another automatically). It costs nothing and runs right inside your web browser.
What it is
TranscripTonic is an open-source browser extension that captures captions from Google Meet calls and saves them locally. It runs automatically or manually and includes beta support for Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want free, private meeting notes without paying for cloud transcription services or giving meeting data to third-party companies.
- Keeps all meeting transcripts private on your own device.
- Downloads a plain text file automatically when the meeting ends.
- Supports webhooks to send meeting notes to your own tools.
- Depends on browser captions and can break when Google Meet updates its design.
- Zoom and Microsoft Teams support is still in beta testing.
- Requires you to keep your browser open during the entire call.
