I’ve been trying to find an AI note taker for when I have calls for work so I don’t miss anything because my boss likes to ramble through a bunch of tasks at once. I’m looking for one of those background note takers that will be triggered whenever I get a slack or Google meets call, and I don’t have to add it to the call for it to work. I’d prefer something open source but not a deal breaker there. The ones I’ve found when I search for a Linux note taker never seem to have a Linux version for downloading.
Has anyone had any luck finding a good Linux one or had success with a Windows one with wine?
Use
ffmpegto record audio from your desktop (which will include the meeting) then pass it to whisper.cpp or other text-to-speech FLOSS solutions. No need for “AI” or Windows software for that kind of tasks.No need for “AI”
whisper is AI, it’s even made by the Big Bad, OpenAI themselves <cue boos and hissing from the peanut gallery>
If they still wanted to use ‘AI’ to summarise or interrogate it, they could then pass that text to something like Jan on their own hardware.
I just use regular ol’
edfor jotting my thoughts on the AI-related news I see each day. After all, it is the standard text editor.…was that not the question?

Apparently, there’s something called Reor, which apparently does what you want it to do.
Otherwise, Obsidian with Text Generator and Ollama is a good option as well. Both local-first apps as well, mind you.
Edit: I’ll be trying Reor with Neigsendoig shortly and get back to y’all with our results.

I use cherrytree. It is a bit clunky, but gets the job done.
