CoreRecord builds a transcript while you speak. The speech stack runs offline on Apple Silicon so text appears in real time without sending audio to a cloud service.
Each line carries a timestamp anchored to the same local session as your recording. Audio and transcript stay paired on the Mac for playback and review. This clip sits between dual capture in Part 1 and optional Private Cloud Compute summaries in Part 3.
Key Takeaways
- Live on-device: Transcription runs through Apple’s native speech path on Mac hardware, not a third-party streaming API.
- Timestamped lines: Every transcript line maps to a moment in the local recording for quick navigation.
- Single session: Audio and text share one CoreRecord session on your drive.
- Privacy default: Live transcription in this workflow does not require uploading meeting audio for the transcript path shown here.
- Series context: Part 1 covers mic and system capture; Part 3 covers opt-in Apple Intelligence summaries via Private Cloud Compute.
