# LiteScribe

> AI-powered transcription platform for meetings, interviews, and recordings. Transcribes audio and video in 100+ languages with speaker diarization, then lets you query the transcript with 14+ AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, Cohere, Perplexity, Groq, xAI). Available as a web app, desktop app (macOS/Windows), mobile app (iOS/Android), and Chrome extension.

LiteScribe captures audio and video from uploads, screen recordings, live meetings (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex), or social media URLs (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.). After transcription, the platform generates AI summaries, action items, and topic tags. Users can chat with their full transcript library across multiple LLM providers via a unified interface, including BYOK (bring your own key) for premium models.

Guides for offline, private, on-device, no-upload, and secure transcription plus GDPR / EU data residency. Note: the web app, mobile app, and cloud path use US-based AssemblyAI plus cloud LLMs and are NOT private; only the desktop Local Mode keeps audio on-device. The app is not air-gapped: it reconnects periodically to validate the plan, which carries no audio or transcript.
