The open-source Sembly AI alternative
Sembly AI A meeting assistant that records, transcribes and generates tasks and meeting minutes across platforms. 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.
Per-seat SaaS; bot-based recording; cloud transcription and analytics.
Where Ledgeur differs from Sembly AI
- Private by design — audio processed locally, not in Sembly's cloud.
- No participant-list bot.
- Open source and free for individuals.
- Export clean Markdown notes you fully own.
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 Sembly AI 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.
Search demand (live Google Ads, US): ai meeting assistant cluster. The comparison reflects each tool’s publicly described model at the time of writing, not a judgement about its quality — Sembly AI is good software that made a different architectural choice.
