Meetings

Record.
No bot in the call.

Your microphone and the system audio are captured on your PC and turned into one transcript with numbered speakers. Nothing joins the call.

Everything meetings do

Meeting recording

A recorder, not a bot.

Your microphone and the system audio are captured on your PC. Start and stop in the Meetings tab. Ctrl+Shift+F9 stops a meeting from anywhere. Dictation keeps working meanwhile.

  • Nobody is added to the call.
  • While the consent reminder is on, which it is by default, the hotkey opens the Meetings tab so you see the reminder first. You can switch the reminder off in Settings.
Illustration Default keys. They stop a meeting from anywhere; starting goes through the Meetings tab while the reminder is on.

Speakers

Who said what.

Your microphone is Speaker 1, or a name you choose. The other participants follow as Speaker 2, Speaker 3 and so on. Up to four voices on the system audio are told apart.

  • Speaker detection needs the Parakeet GPU container. Without it, everyone else is Speaker 2 and the transcript still completes.
  • Speaker 1 (you)
  • Speaker 2
  • Speaker 3
  • Speaker 4
  • Speaker 5
Illustration The labels a transcript uses: you, and up to four other voices. Your own voice can carry a name instead.

Dictation filter

Your dictation stays out.

The microphone also hears what you dictate during a call. By default NexusVox leaves those words out of the meeting transcript.

  2. NexusVox notes when
  3. Those words stay out of the transcript
Illustration Default behaviour; switch it off in Settings.

File upload

Got a recording already?

Upload WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG or WEBM in the dashboard. Everything but WAV needs ffmpeg on your PATH. Switch on “Detect speakers” and the transcript comes back as Speaker 1: … paragraphs, one per turn.

  • Speaker detection for uploads needs the Parakeet GPU container and tells at most four speakers apart; with more, voices get merged.
  • Optional text cleanup with the local language model.

Export

Take the text with you.

Download a transcript as TXT, SRT or VTT. The subtitle formats need Parakeet’s word timing.

  • TXT
  • SRT

Your data

Yours to keep. Yours to delete.

Meetings play back in the dashboard. Switch off “Store meeting audio” and only the transcript stays. Delete a meeting and its audio with one click.

  • Play back
  • Delete with its audio
  • Keep only the transcript

What the numbers mean in practice

Recording file

Example

A 30-minute recording file is transcribed in 100 s on a CPU.

Measured on one single-track file, such as an upload. A meeting recorded in NexusVox has two tracks, your microphone and the system audio, which are transcribed separately, so it takes longer; that case was not measured. Speaker labels need the GPU container.

Fewer threads

Example

With fewer threads, a recording takes longer.

The same desktop CPU pinned to eight and to four threads, on a 5-minute recording file. A slower CPU will be slower still. The real-time factor is processing time divided by audio length: lower is faster.

Before you record

Tell everyone first. In Germany, recording the spoken word of others without their consent can be a criminal offence (§ 201 StGB), and other countries have comparable rules. This is not legal advice; you are responsible for using the feature lawfully.

Use a headset. With speakers, the microphone also picks up the other participants. Bluetooth headsets lose quality while the microphone is in use: use the PC’s microphone, a wired or a USB headset instead.
