JesRecap
What JesRecap is
JesRecap records microphone and computer audio on macOS or Windows, then transcribes it locally after recording ends. It saves microphone and system audio as separate tracks and creates a mixed playback copy. Because it captures audio already playing on the computer, it does not add a meeting bot or platform plugin to calls from Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, Slack huddles, or in-person conversations. The Parakeet speech model supports 25 European languages. Transcripts are searchable and editable, with timestamps linked to audio; users enter speaker names themselves. JesRecap does not create summaries, but its Summary and Action items options copy a prompt and transcript for use with an AI tool selected by the user. Exports include Markdown, plain text, JSON, SRT, VTT, and WAV. Audio remains in WAV files and transcripts in a local database, without automatic upload of recording content. A full 48-hour trial requires in-app email verification and no payment card. One-device pricing starts at €34.95, paid once.
