Read the guideMeeting recorderRecord every meeting — without a bot in the room
Vowen records meetings from your own computer: your microphone and the other participants' audio, on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex, or across the table. You get the recording to replay, a speaker-labeled transcript, and a structured summary — processed on-device, stored locally, with nothing joining the call.
