Lazy Audio

Introduction

LazyAudio is a macOS application designed for easy audio recording and management. Its core feature is performing real-time transcription locally using Sherpa-onnx, capturing audio from your system or microphone. After transcription, it leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically generate summaries, tasks, translations, mind maps, and more based on the audio content.
