UK-first rollout
What is LocalNote?
AI transcription that never leaves your building
LocalNote is on-premise transcription software that runs on hardware inside your office. Your meetings are transcribed locally. No audio, no transcripts, and no client data ever passes through a third-party cloud platform.
What it does
LocalNote captures your meeting audio, transcribes it on local hardware, highlights uncertain words for quick correction, and gives you a clean transcript you can export into your existing workflow.
Why it matters
Most transcription tools are fast and convenient, but they depend on infrastructure you don't control. If you handle sensitive conversations, and your clients expect you to, that's a trust issue as much as a technical one.
Who it’s for
Built for work where confidentiality isn't optional
LocalNote isn't a generic dictation app. It's for professionals who want the speed of AI transcription without turning private conversations into third-party cloud data.
Accountants and advisers
A private alternative to cloud transcription for tax planning meetings, financial reviews, and sensitive business conversations.
Medical and therapy practices
Spend less time typing up consultation notes. LocalNote gives you local processing and stronger privacy control without changing how you work.
HR and investigation teams
Keep grievance meetings, disciplinaries, and interviews under your control. Full discretion, internal processing, and a clear audit trail.
Why not cloud transcription?
Why more firms are moving away from cloud transcription
Cloud transcription can be convenient, but it usually means your audio and transcript data passes through infrastructure you don't own or control. For many firms, that creates privacy, compliance, and client-trust concerns that can't be waved away with a polished dashboard.
✗ Typical cloud transcription
Your meeting leaves your building
- ×Audio is uploaded to third-party servers for processing.
- ×Retention rules, processing chain, and data exposure depend on another company’s setup.
- ×You're asking your client to trust infrastructure they can't see and you don't own.
✓ LocalNote
The processing happens inside your building
- ✓Audio is processed on dedicated local hardware on your own network.
- ✓Transcripts stay local and can be exported into your own systems.
- ✓The only outbound traffic is system health data, not client content.

AI conversation prompts
The AI listens to the meeting in real time and suggests follow-up questions based on what's being discussed, so you never miss an important thread.
The bigger picture
Transcription is just the beginning
Every meeting, every correction, every client name builds your firm's own private AI. It learns your vocabulary, understands your practice areas, and gets smarter the more you use it. Over time, LocalNote becomes an AI assistant that knows how your firm works, can draft documents from meeting context, suggest follow-up questions in real time, and support your team in ways that generic cloud tools never could.
All of it stays inside your building. Nothing is shared. Nothing is uploaded. It's your AI, trained on your work, running on your hardware.
Built for confidentiality
Privacy isn't a settings page. It's the architecture.
What stays local
- ✓Your meeting audio stays on your network.
- ✓Your transcripts are stored locally.
- ✓Client names and specialist terms stay inside your own dictionary.
What leaves the building
- ✓Only system health data: uptime, system load, and software version.
- ✓No meeting audio.
- ✓No transcript content.
