The open-source Notta alternative
Notta A transcription app for meetings, interviews and voice memos with real-time captions and summaries. Ledgeur does the same core job — an accurate transcript and notes you can act on — but as open-source software that runs in your browser, so the audio never leaves your machine.
Freemium with monthly transcription limits; cloud-based; paid per-user tiers.
Where Ledgeur differs from Notta
- No monthly minute limits — transcription runs on your hardware.
- Audio never uploaded; everything stays local.
- Free for individuals, open source for teams that need to self-host.
- Upload an existing recording or capture live — both fully offline-capable after model load.
The audio never leaves
Whisper runs in your browser. So does speaker separation. There is no upload step to trust us about — open the network tab and check.
It learns who people are
Ledgeur separates the voices in a recording, and once you have named one, it recognises that person in every meeting afterwards. The voice prints stay on your device.
Nobody joins your call, and nobody can lock it out
No bot in the participant list, no awkward pause while people ask what it is. Ledgeur listens to the tab, the way you would. Which also means no video platform can revoke its access, the way they can with a bot that has to be admitted as a guest.
Free is the whole product
Unlimited recording, transcription, speakers, notes and search — permanently, for nothing. You pay when you want the record shared across a team, or open to your AI agents.
Try the Notta alternative
No account, no card, and no bot in your meeting. Open it and record your next call — or drag in one you already have.
