transcription

miniti transcribes your meetings in real time using deepgram nova-3 with ~200ms latency. it supports 11 languages, separates speakers by audio source, and can diarize multiple remote speakers.

​

how it works

there are two audio sources:

• microphone - your voice. always labeled “you” in the transcript (green).
• system audio - audio playing through your mac (zoom, meet, teams, etc.). remote speakers are labeled “speaker 1”, “speaker 2”, … (blue).

on macos, mic and system audio are transcribed on separate channels. your mic stays “you”; remote speakers stay on the system channel, even when speech overlaps. that is clearer than mixing both into one mono stream. this source-based separation means you always know who said what, even before any ai insights run.

​

personal dictionary

add product names, acronyms, and uncommon words in settings. miniti boosts those terms during live transcription on both macos and ios. the dictionary sits alongside built-in and calendar terms. total capacity is about 100 terms.

​

calendar boost

when a meeting comes from google calendar, the event title and attendee names help transcription recognize people and companies more accurately. non-consumer email domains (for example acme.com) are included when available. see google calendar.

​

supported languages

set a default in settings or pick per meeting from the language dropdown before recording. transcription, insights, and filler-word detection all adapt to the selected language.

​

multi-speaker diarization

on system audio, miniti uses deepgram’s diarization to label remote speakers separately. you might see:

• you - your mic
• speaker 1 - first remote voice
• speaker 2 - second remote voice

diarization itself is source- and voice-based, not name-based. on top of it, miniti runs a separate inference pass that does try to resolve real names from the conversation (and from calendar attendees if connected) - so speaker 1 will often turn into jane once there’s enough signal. see speaker names and google calendar.

​

live transcript view

• text appears as deepgram returns interim results, then firms up when marked final
• smooth auto-scrolling keeps the newest content visible
• selectable text - the live and saved transcript, and insights, are fully selectable. drag to select on macos, long-press to select on ios, then copy any range without exporting the whole meeting
• search any meeting (including live sessions) - press / to focus the search field on macos

​

what is sent where

in both managed and byok modes, audio streams directly from your device to deepgram over a websocket. miniti’s backend is never in the audio path. the difference is the key:

• managed mode: the backend issues a short-lived deepgram access token for each session. no deepgram account needed on your side. managed mode also stays connected more reliably on longer meetings and brief gaps.
• byok mode: the app uses your own deepgram key, stored locally in your keychain.

​

troubleshooting

• no transcript appears - check microphone and (on macos) system audio permission, or check for error messages on the home screen
• wrong language - set the language before starting, not during
• remote audio missing - turn on system audio in the home screen and grant system audio recording permission
• wrong product names - add them to the personal dictionary in settings
• you and remote overlap on macos - keep both mic and system audio on so each stays on its own channel
