Transcribe Google Meet — privately, no bot

Backchannel records Google Meet calls on your Mac and turns them into transcripts and structured notes, with nothing joining the meeting.

Bot-free by design

Transcribe Google Meet calls privately

Backchannel captures your Mac's audio during a Google Meet call — your mic and the meeting audio — so no bot joins and nothing streams to a third-party cloud. Transcription and speaker labels happen on-device.

Does a bot join my Google Meet?

No. Backchannel records your Mac's own audio, so nothing joins the call.

Is my audio sent to the cloud?

No — transcription and speaker separation run on-device; the notes model is one you choose.
