Bot-Free Dual Capture
Audio loopback captures whatever is playing through your speakers (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams) plus your microphone as two clean, isolated audio channels without bot awkwardness.

Meeting intelligence that
never leaves your machine.

Architecture
How Audio Stays on Your Machine
No cloud audio relays. No proxy servers. Here is how BeeQuill captures and transcribes locally.
01
CoreAudio & WASAPI Capture
BeeQuill taps directly into system-level audio APIs without injecting recording bots into your video calls.
02
Separate MediaRecorders
Microphone and system loopback audio run on independent audio pipelines, isolating you from other meeting participants.
03
15-Second Segment Chunks
Audio is chunked into standalone WebM segments with complete headers, ensuring zero audio corruption even if calls terminate unexpectedly.
04
Local Whisper Transcription
Segments stream in real-time to your local faster-whisper instance, outputting transcripts directly into your local database.

Our Story
Your meetings
Your meetings
are your intellectual property.
BeeQuill was created from a fundamental belief: executive note-taking should never force you to sacrifice confidentiality or surrender audio to third-party clouds.
The Mission
Capture Everything.
Capture Everything.
Surrender Nothing.
Meetings are where strategic pivots are finalized, patents are born, and high-stakes negotiations unfold. That is exactly why transcripts are among an enterprise's most sensitive assets — and why they shouldn't live on centralized cloud servers.
BeeQuill proves you can have all modern AI capabilities — bot-free dual capture, real-time audio transcription, and cross-meeting semantic reasoning — while keeping your data stored locally in SQLite on your disk. Privacy is not a marketing checkbox; it is the core foundation of our architecture.
