Russian meeting transcription platform with speaker diarization, fast processing and on-premise and API options.
Anarlog is an open-source, local-first AI meeting notetaker developed by Fastrepl, Inc., the team behind the project previously known as Hyprnote and Char. It is positioned as an open-source alternative to cloud meeting-notes tools and is designed for people who want to keep meeting data under their own control. Instead of sending a bot into a call, Anarlog captures system audio directly on the user's computer, transcribes it locally, and merges the transcript with short notes the user jots down during the meeting to produce structured, editable summaries with action items. Audio, transcripts, and notes are stored as files on the local disk rather than in an external service, and users can choose between running local AI models or supplying their own API keys for cloud processing. The application is available for Apple Silicon Macs and its codebase is published on GitHub under a GPL license, so it can be inspected, forked, and self-hosted. Anarlog is best for engineers, privacy-conscious professionals, and teams that want bot-free meeting notes with full ownership of their data. Pricing varies by plan.

ViSaver accepts a broad set of video and audio formats and explicitly supports recordings from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Yandex Telemost, the latter being relevant for Russian-market workflows. Beyond a hosted web product, it offers iFrame embedding, an on-premise installation option and a REST API for integrating transcription into CRM, LMS and other internal systems, which signals an orientation toward businesses and developers as well as individual users.
