Description
I kept leaving meetings unsure who said what. Cloud tools meant sending audio to someone else's server. So I built QuickSpeak that transcribes locally, identifies speakers, and lets you chat/search your transcript. No audio leaves your machine. Free to try.

Could you build this?
Partial Packaging local speech recognition and speaker diarization into a lightweight, cross-platform desktop application requires non-trivial hardware acceleration and native audio pipeline handling that typically trips up vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A production version would use an Electron, Tauri, or native C++/Swift shell integrating Whisper.cpp or ONNX runtime alongside a local diarization model (like PyAnnote or a lightweight GMM/embedding clustering model). The difficult engineering challenges lie in low-latency multi-channel/loopback system audio capture on modern OS permissions and running quantized diarization performantly without melting user CPUs. Deep C++/Rust audio capture and on-device ML inference expertise are required.
