A meeting recorder with no bot in the call
No bot in the invite and no third party on the call. D-REC records and transcribes on your own computer, with chapters and a short recap of each one.
Most meeting transcription works by adding a participant. An assistant appears in the invite, sits in the call, and sends the audio to a service. That sends everyone's voices to a third party, which many companies do not allow.
D-REC does not join the call. It runs on your computer and records what your computer hears, so there is no bot in the invite and no third party holding the call. It does not announce itself, so tell people you are recording before you start, and get their agreement where the law asks for it.
It writes the meeting down as it happens, breaks it into chapters, and gives each chapter a short recap, so you can find the part where the decision was made. Press one key to drop a marker when something matters, and it is there afterwards.
The recording and the transcript stay on your computer, so the meeting's words never reach a third party.
Recording other people is governed by law: many places require everyone's consent before the first word. Say it out loud before you start.

Questions people ask
Does D-REC join my calls?
No. It records on your own computer, so no bot joins the call. That also means nobody is told for you: tell them yourself.
Do I need to tell people I am recording?
Yes. D-REC does not announce itself in the meeting, so say it out loud before you start, and get everyone's agreement where the law asks for it; many places require it.
Does it work with any meeting software?
Yes, because it records the computer's audio rather than connecting to a meeting platform.
