About Hedy runs its real
Hedy 3.2 lets you run the entire AI pipeline on your own device. Summaries, notes, chat replies, and live suggestions all happen locally, so nothing reaches a server for AI processing. With Hedy 3.2, our entire AI pipeline can now run on your own machine. When you turn it on, meeting transcripts, summaries, detailed notes, chat replies, and live suggestions all happen on the device that captured the audio. Speech recognition has run on your device since the day Hedy launched.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
