BarnOwl transcribes your meetings in real time, 100% on your Windows PC. No cloud, no recording bot, no consent banner. Built for professionals in NDA-restricted environments where tools like Otter are banned. Everything stays on your machine.
I work in infrastructure design and construction. My clients ban all recording — no Teams, no bots, no offline AI. We'd scramble to take notes while three parties talked over each other. Weeks later, people forgot what was decided. I tried Krisp. IT blocked it. So I built BarnOwl — it types everything it hears, like a digital court stenographer. No recording, no cloud, nothing leaves your machine. I've used it every day for a month. Happy to answer any questions.
