Bot-free meeting transcription is no longer a luxury — it is a strict requirement for consultants, doctors, lawyers, and executives. Here is a technical breakdown of how bot-free transcription works in 2026.

By capturing audio output directly from your sound card, Maple transcribes everything you hear without needing any integration or bot permissions.

When you join a meeting on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet, your computer's audio hardware processes both your microphone input and the incoming speaker stream. Modern desktop software can capture this audio directly.

How Native Audio Loopback Works

Using CoreAudio on macOS and WASAPI on Windows, Maple captures incoming and outgoing audio streams directly at the driver level, passing them into an optimized local Whisper.cpp model.

Absolute Privacy Guaranteed

Because the stream never leaves your local RAM and GPU, sensitive financial data, legal terms, and medical records remain strictly private.
