The open-source Krisp alternative
Krisp A noise-cancellation app that added an AI meeting notetaker and transcription layer. ParleyNotes does the same core job — accurate transcripts and AI notes — but as an open-source app that runs entirely in your browser, so your meetings stay private and it’s free for individuals.
Freemium desktop app; cloud transcription for the notetaker features.
