UK-first rollout
What is LocalNote?
Local AI transcription software for firms that cannot risk sending conversations to the cloud
LocalNote is on-premise AI transcription software designed for UK solicitors, accountants, medical practices, HR teams, and other privacy-sensitive organisations. It runs on hardware inside your building, allowing meetings and conversations to be transcribed locally without relying on third-party cloud transcription platforms.
What it does
LocalNote captures meeting audio, transcribes it locally, highlights uncertain words, and gives staff a clean transcript they can export into their existing workflow.
Why it matters
Many transcription tools are fast and convenient, but they depend on infrastructure you do not control. For firms handling sensitive conversations, that is a trust issue as much as a technical one.
Who it’s for
Built for sectors where confidentiality is not optional
This is not a generic dictation app. LocalNote is for organisations that want the speed of AI transcription without turning private conversations into third-party cloud data.
Accountants and advisers
Useful for tax planning, financial reviews, sensitive business conversations, and firms that want a private alternative to cloud transcription tools.
Medical and therapy practices
For practices that want local processing, stronger privacy control, and less time spent typing meeting or consultation notes after the fact.
HR and investigation teams
Useful for grievance meetings, disciplinaries, interviews, and other conversations where discretion, internal control, and traceability matter.
Why not cloud transcription?
Firms are looking for private alternatives to cloud transcription
Cloud transcription platforms can be convenient, but they usually require audio or transcript data to pass through infrastructure outside your direct control. For many firms, that creates privacy, compliance, or client-trust concerns that cannot just be waved away with a polished dashboard.
✗ Typical cloud transcription
Your meeting leaves your environment
- ×Audio is uploaded to third-party servers for processing.
- ×Retention rules, processing chain, and data exposure depend on another company’s setup.
- ×You are asking the client to trust infrastructure they cannot see and you do not 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.
Core features
Everything needed for private AI transcription. Nothing bloated.
The homepage should not dump every mechanism, but these are the features that actually matter when a firm is deciding whether this fits its workflow.
Live local transcription
Words appear as the meeting happens, giving staff immediate visibility without waiting for an upload-and-process cycle.
Intelligent correction interface
Uncertain words are highlighted so corrections take seconds, not a full rewrite at the end of the meeting.
Private local dictionary
Client names, legal terms, place names, and firm-specific language stay on your system and improve recognition over time.
Export in useful formats
Export transcripts to plain text, Markdown, or document-friendly formats so they slot into existing admin workflows quickly.
Multi-seat support
One local server can support multiple professionals, depending on deployment size and meeting load.
Managed updates
The system can be maintained and improved over time without turning the firm into its own software support department.
Built for confidentiality
Privacy is not a settings page. It is the architecture.
A lot of software talks about privacy as a policy. LocalNote is stronger when it describes privacy as system design.
What stays local
- ✓Meeting audio stays on your network.
- ✓Transcripts are stored locally.
- ✓Client names and specialist terms stay inside your own dictionary.
What leaves the building
- ✓Only health heartbeat data such as uptime, system load, or version state.
- ✓No meeting audio.
- ✓No transcript content.
How it works
A simpler explanation of the LocalNote setup
Most people do not need an architecture diagram first. They need a plain-English explanation of the flow.
1
Audio is captured on the user’s PC
The staff member starts a session and LocalNote captures the meeting audio from their machine.
2
Processing happens on a local LocalNote server
The audio is sent across the firm’s internal network to dedicated local hardware inside the building.
3
The transcript returns to the user
The clean text appears back on the user’s machine, ready for review, correction, and export.
4
The system improves with use
Corrections feed the local dictionary so client names and specialist vocabulary become more accurate over time.
