This is what a finished protocol looks like.

meetergo Log local transcription on macOS and Windows

Why local?

Cloud notetakers upload your meeting to someone else's servers. meetergo Log transcribes straight on your machine: faster, more private, free.

No bot. No cloud. No tracking.

Audio, transcripts and dictations stay on your device. We never see them.

The quiet problem with Otter, Fireflies & co.

You're handing your meetings to servers you don't control.

Every cloud notetaker uploads your audio over the internet, often to US servers, often training on your data, and not everyone on the call has agreed.

A bot joins

A stranger in every single call

“Otter Notetaker is recording” is awkward in front of clients and often legally questionable in the EU.

Audio in the cloud

Recordings are processed on US servers

Even if the UI promises EU, transcription, diarization and storage usually live in the US.

Data trains AI

Your conversations train someone else's model

On free plans “use data to improve our service” is usually the default. You're in those datasets.

Hidden cost

$0 quickly becomes $20–30 per user per month

Free tier limits are tight enough that any team running real meetings gets squeezed into a paid plan.

meetergo Log flips this on its head.

Recording, transcription and dictation run 100% on your device. No bot, no cloud, no hidden cost. Open-source models, your hardware, your data. And if you do want a bot, the optional cloud notetaker runs in the EU rather than the US.

New: cloud notetaker

The notetaker that starts working before the call begins.

No laptop, no install, nothing to start by hand. It joins your meetings itself, briefs you beforehand, catches no-shows and writes the summary and tasks afterwards.

Joins automatically on:

Before the call

A briefing instead of a cold start

  • Which framework fields are still empty
  • MEDDIC, SPIN, BANT or your own grid

Briefing: Lena Brandt, Head of Ops

From 3 earlier conversations

During the call

It joins, and it remembers what really happened

It dials in on its own at the start, takes notes, and logs the meeting the way it actually ran.

  • Joins automatically, nobody has to start anything
  • No-shows are detected and flagged on the meeting
  • The real duration replaces the booked one in your calendar

Summary and tasks, unprompted

Before you close the window the result is already on the contact: recap, decisions, next steps.

  • Summary in your own template
  • Tasks with owners and due dates
  • All on the contact and the deal, not in a second tool

Recap written

  • Lena needs two-way HubSpot sync before the rollout.
