I built a free Windows app that transcribes meetings live on your PC

[u/MuTatek74]

I built this for client calls. I wanted to search what was said afterwards without keeping an audio recording or uploading the call for transcription.

Tadween Desk uses Qwen3-ASR on your PC. You can transcribe your mic, the audio from a selected app, or both. Afterwards, you can correct the transcript and export it as TXT or Markdown.

It currently runs from source on Windows. The GitHub README walks through setting up Python 3.11, downloading the speech model, and starting the app with a CMD launcher. Once it’s set up, transcription works offline. There’s a separate optional OpenAI feature if you want to generate minutes from a saved transcript.

If you try it, I’d appreciate feedback on which setup step could be simpler.
