A new open-source macOS application called VoiceVault has been developed to offer local-first dictation and meeting note-taking capabilities, replicating features found in commercial apps like Wispr Flow and Granola. VoiceVault utilizes local models, specifically mlx-whisper for speech-to-text and Ollama running llama3.1:8b for summarization, ensuring all audio, transcription, and summarization processes remain on the user's machine. The application is designed with a flexible provider abstraction, allowing users to easily swap between different local or cloud-based speech-to-text and large language model backends without altering the core dictation or meeting pipeline.
