Sabhalekh user guide

Sabhalekh records your online meetings, or takes an audio or video file you already have, and writes down what was said: who spoke, when, and their exact words. It works with English, Hindi and Hinglish.

It runs entirely on your own Windows PC. You don't need an account or an internet connection, and your recordings are never uploaded anywhere.
