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 ios, there is no system audio capture. ios transcribes the microphone only.
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.| language | code |

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
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, plus 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 temporary deepgram key for each session. no deepgram account needed on your side.
- 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
