01
Dictation that stays out of the way
Start capture from the keyboard, speak naturally, then drop clean text into the work you already had open.
The main surface is fast spoken input, not another notes dashboard to babysit.

Dictation first
A desktop capture system, not another meeting bot tab.
NautilusBot starts with fast spoken input, then adds meeting recording, transcript review, speaker labeling, and export tools for work that needs a record.
02
Local Whisper transcription
Run the core speech-to-text path on your machine, with model management built into the desktop app.
Sensitive audio can stay under your control, and cloud services remain optional instead of mandatory.
03
Meetings when the stakes are higher
Record conversations, review transcripts, and keep follow-up decisions tied to the original context.
Use meeting capture for reviews, interviews, planning calls, and decisions that need a trace.
04
Speaker labels and review flow
Clean up who said what with speaker aliases and diarization paths that make transcripts easier to trust.
Review is built around making captured speech useful, searchable, and ready for handoff.
05
Evidence exports
Package transcripts and verification artifacts for teams that need records they can inspect later.
Approved path controls keep exports intentional and reduce the risk of scattering sensitive files.
06
Local AI review
Use Ollama-backed review flows for summaries, action items, and project notes without default cloud upload.
NautilusBot fits teams that want AI help but still care where their audio and transcripts live.
How it works
From voice to transcript to accountable follow-up.
- 01
Capture speech before it disappears
Use the hotkey for dictation or start a meeting capture when the conversation needs a record.
- 02
Transcribe locally by default
Whisper turns audio into text on the desktop path, so private material is not forced through a remote pipeline.
- 03
Review, label, and summarize
Speaker labels, transcript history, and local AI review turn raw audio into work you can use.
- 04
Export the proof
Share transcripts and evidence bundles when a decision, commitment, or customer record needs to be checked.
