Show HN: Local Transcription and Summarization of Voice Memos for iOS and Mac (github.com/thimm)

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share a small project I hacked together last night: a local tool to transcribe and summarize voice memos from the iOS and MacOS Voice Memos app.

What does it do? It's a lifesaver for anyone who, like me, records loads of voice memos and needs an efficient way to integrate these recordings into their note-keeping system (like Obsidian).

Why is this useful? - No Cloud Processing: Your voice memos are processed entirely on your device, ensuring privacy and security. - Integration with Note-taking Apps: Directly pull transcribed and summarized content into your preferred note-taking app. - Time-Saving: Automatically processes recordings without manual intervention.

Tech Stack: - Ollama and whisper.cpp for transcription and summarization.




I was looking for something exactly like this! But I'd like to run it on other audio files, not just those in Voice Memos.
