It wouldn't be too difficult, but I'd be hesitant to do it for fear of bloating what Trace was designed to do. Trace is built to do transcription and hand you clean markdown (which you can paste into whatever LLM you prefer for a

Looks like echo cancellation is to blame here. I'm working on a more permanent fix but for now try turning off "Cancel system audio from the microphone" to see if that helps.

Thanks. Trace integrates with your Mac calendar, so if you’ve signed into your accounts with those it will pick them up. No support currently for direct Teams/Exchange integration but I’ll add it to the list.

Someone else has also reported this, which is not coincidental… Have you tried this with other applications too to see if it’s a teams-specific issue? I’ll take a look as my top priority.

Thanks for the support. The videos are Vue components with CSS animations. As mentioned in a previous reply I’m happy to share the component if it’s of interest. Yep, based in Sheffield, UK.

Recording and consent rules vary quite a bit by country and region, so it's on whoever is doing the recording to get the consent they need and to follow the law where they are. Still, I like the idea of putting a note on the FAQ to mak

Appreciate it, thanks. They’re just Vue components with CSS animations. Drop me an email and I’ll send you the code. hello@traceapp.info

Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to drop an email to hello@traceapp.info if you want a chat. Happy to hop on a call too if you'd prefer. For the switching, do you mean if you hot-swap during a call? The mic should auto-switch if you&

Trace has two engines that you can choose from. The fast one uses NVIDIA's Parakeet-TDT 0.6b v3 model run through FluidAudio, which surprised me with how fast it was. There is also an accurate engine, which uses Whisper large-v3-turbo

Crash recovery is definitely something that I want to spend a bit more time on. I'm not entirely sure how Trace handles crashing right in the middle of a recording, so I'm going to put a bit of time aside in the next few days to p

This is definitely on the to-do list if there’s enough demand for it. The payment/distribution/updates infra required is not insignificant, especially if nobody was that bothered, but by the sounds of it they are so I’ll bump this

It does indeed. Trace will record your system audio regardless of your speaker volume. You do have the option to mute your own mic temporarily though, via a button on the “pill” or a global keyboard shortcut.

I've been working on a minimal, keyboard-driven Mac app that records and transcribes your meetings on device, similar to MacWhisper but way more minimal and simple. I originally built it for myself because I kept forgetting to start Ma

I've always wondered how they made the UX so slick - thanks for sharing.

I like the idea, but this does raise a larger question about sensitive information (that you've alluded to, but I think it's more of a systemic/cultural problem). Everyone knows you shouldn't be pasting env secrets and c

I'm getting a 404 on the link. I've always struggled with how to track open "threads" with colleagues, so I hope this does what I think it does. Interested to see how it's implemented.
