Alt is an on-device AI notetaker that transcribes meetings, lectures, seminars, and other audio into a private, searchable knowledge base. All speech recognition runs locally on the user's device, so it works offline and keeps data private, with no time or usage limits on the free tier. It automatically detects and records online meetings (Zoom, Google Meet), summarizes PDFs and YouTube videos, and offers AI chat, quizzes, and speaker diarization from recorded content.
