The old way
A wall of transcript.
A 60-minute meeting produces 8,000 words of diarized text. By the time you scroll to find the moment the pricing decision was made, you have re-read three other arguments and lost track of why you opened the transcript.
The Mac Note Taker way
Six chapters, six clicks.
We hand the transcript to an LLM with a single instruction: split into the natural topical sections and write a one-line title per section. The output is a chapter list with start timestamps. Click any chapter, audio jumps, transcript scrolls, you are inside the moment that mattered.
Pipeline
From diarized turns to a clickable index.
- 01
Diarized transcript in
After ASR + diarization, we have speaker-labeled turns with timestamps. That is the input - not raw audio, not unsplit text.
- 02
Prompt: split into topical sections
A fixed JSON-schema prompt asks the LLM for { time, title } pairs that cover the whole timeline without overlap. The schema is the same whether you run Ollama or OpenAI.
- 03
Snap to turn boundaries
The LLM proposes timestamps. We post-process: each chapter start snaps to the nearest turn boundary so playback never lands mid-word.
- 04
Render + click
Chapters render as a left rail next to the transcript. Click a chapter, audio seeks, transcript scrolls. Same UX as YouTube chapters; entirely offline.
Built for the meetings you would otherwise re-watch
Customer discovery
Five 45-minute calls collapse into a comparable index of pain points, asks, and objections.
Standups + sprint reviews
Jump straight to the agenda item you missed. Skip the parts that don't apply to your team.
Investor updates
Chapters double as the agenda for the recap email. The first chapter title is usually the subject line.
Workshops + offsites
Long sessions get a usable timeline so you can revisit a specific exercise without rewinding for ten minutes.
Legal depositions
Time-anchored chapters make later citation faster - chapter title + timestamp is the canonical reference.
Course recordings
Indexed lectures. Re-listen to the one explanation that didn't click.
Stop scrolling. Start jumping.
