What VoxMinutes is

VoxMinutes is a free, open-source Windows desktop meeting assistant that captures system audio and microphone input together while transcribing live. It works with Zoom, Tencent Meeting, Feishu, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, and system-level capture also suits webinars, lectures, streams, and podcasts. Live translation supports 13 languages. A local language model can generate meeting topics, conclusions, and action items, while full-text search covers meeting history. Meetings can be exported as TXT, SRT, or Markdown. After models are downloaded, the app works fully offline. In local mode, audio, transcripts, translations, and summaries remain on the device. Optional cloud models include Doubao, Qwen, MiMo, and Deepgram; selecting one sends content to a server and uses credits. Local use has no account or subscription and costs nothing. Models are downloaded or imported separately. Windows 10/11 is available; macOS is in development and Linux is planned. The Windows installer is not code-signed and may trigger a SmartScreen warning. VoxMinutes is licensed under AGPL-3.0.
