Capture

Capture both sides of the call without inviting a recorder.

Most meeting tools join as another participant because recording happens in their cloud app. DuckType records from your computer, so the call stays normal and the notes land in your files.

Your microphone

Your voice is recorded as a separate track, so speaker cleanup stays easier.

System audio

DuckType captures the people speaking through Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, or any app.

No meeting bot

Nobody has to admit a recorder, see an extra participant, or wonder where the transcript is stored.

Output

Every meeting becomes notes and files you control.

There is no export cliff. Store the Markdown files in iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or an Obsidian vault with Obsidian Sync, then open them in DuckType, Obsidian, VS Code, Git, your backup tool, or any text editor.

.transcript.md

Speaker labels, timestamps, tags, and the full conversation.

.summary.md

Decisions, action items, discussion, and any summary style you run.

.notes.md

Your own notes before, during, and after the call.

Let's start with the meetings rollout. Where are we with the auto title?

Shipping behind a flag this week. Saw some weird truncation on short

## Discussion

The team reviewed the meetings rollout. Auto-title is shipping behind a flag this week with a 30-second floor to avoid truncation on short clips.

## Decisions

* Ship the 30-second floor and revisit if anyone hits it.

## Action Items

* [ ] Priya: backfill telemetry for clips under 30s.
* [ ] You: draft the changelog entry.
