Website Tour
A section-by-section guide to the Local Transcriber landing page. It's a single page of full-width bands under a sticky navigation window.
The screenshots use sample release data (version 0.1.20). The live site always shows the newest real release from GitHub.
| Element | What it does |
|---|---|
| Navigation window | Brand · How it works · Features · Privacy · All versions · FAQ · Docs (this wiki) · GitHub, then Theme and Download · free. It stays at the top and highlights the section you're reading. On phones and tablets only the brand, Theme and Download stay. |
| Hero | "Every meeting. Every word." over an animated halftone field that follows the pointer. Download for links straight to the recommended installer; Watch the 15s tour jumps to the tour. Tags list the essentials and the current version (live from GitHub). |
| App windows | A recording window, a transcript and a summary, stacked like the app. |
| Ticker | No account · No cloud · No uploads · MIT · whisper.cpp · Parakeet · Ollama · platforms. |
The showreel in a player window. Play starts it; the three phases (Record → Transcribe → Share) light up as the video reaches each scene, with a progress bar and timer. The scene start times live in data-at on #phases in index.html — update them if the showreel is replaced.
Three steps: 01 Record, 02 Transcribe, 03 Share.
Nine windows: two-way capture, one-click GPU, crash-safe recording, the tiered model catalog, full-text search, local LLM summaries, company calendar, team sharing through GitLab, and in-app updates. The version numbers on the updates window (previous → newest) come live from GitHub.
Brand and accent swatches (plus a custom colour) recolour the whole page and the app preview next to them — the same two controls as the app's Settings → Appearance. Theme in the navigation opens the same picker anywhere on the page. The choice lasts for the current visit only; nothing is saved on the device.
A table of exactly what can leave the user's computer, and when, plus "0 accounts · 0 servers of ours · 0 bytes of audio uploaded". Details: Privacy.
- Release row: newest version and release date. The lamp turns grey while loading or when offline.

- File rows: every file for that platform in the newest version, with package, architecture, size, Download and Copy SHA-256.
- Install: numbered steps for the recommended file. Commands have a Copy button.
- Side windows: install once, transcription built in, verify (the right checksum command for the selected OS) and the download counter.
- On a phone: a note explains the app runs on a computer, with Send me the link (share sheet, or copy).
