Claude is being used to build a meeting transcript app
EarWitness is planned as a local-first desktop app for turning meeting audio into text. The goal is to capture audio from the user’s own device, so a meeting can be recorded without adding a bot to the participant list. The app is meant to transcribe speech, split the recording into sections, handle , and provide an Otter-style editor for fixing speaker names and cleaning up the transcript.
A normal meeting bot is also planned for meetings the user is not attending. MCP tools would let Claude or another AI tool search and work with the saved conversation data. The build process uses CodeMySpec, a made with Claude, to run the loop from product stories and examples through , BDD specs, , and browser QA.
The human role is to answer product questions and approve steps, not write prompts or code. This is not starting from zero, because part of the pipeline had already worked since last year.
