About Meeper

Meeper is a free and open-source browser extension that acts as a personal secretary for any in-browser conference. It leverages OpenAI's Whisper for accurate real-time audio transcription and ChatGPT for generating concise summaries. Users can securely store their OpenAI API key locally, encrypted on their machine. The extension features speech detection to optimize API usage, reducing resource consumption by up to 30%. It supports multiple launch methods (hotkey, popup, context menu), real-time transcription playback controls akin to a music player, and the ability to run transcriptions simultaneously from multiple tabs. History is stored locally, and multilingual support is included. Built with Node.js and using the Chrome tabCapture API, Meeper is designed for privacy and efficiency.
