We've been heads down for the past month building what we believe is our most significant update yet. Today, we're excited to share three major features that transform Yakki from a dictation tool into a complete meeting companion.

AI Meeting Intelligence

Meetings end. Memory fades. Decisions get lost in email threads. Taking notes means you're not fully present in the conversation.

Yakki now understands your meetings. After any transcription, you can instantly generate:

  • Key Points - The most important discussion points, automatically extracted
  • Decisions - Every decision captured with speaker attribution
  • Action Items - Clear next steps, with context about who committed to what
  • Summaries - A TL;DR of any meeting, perfect for sharing with those who couldn't attend

The best part? All AI analysis happens on-device. Your meeting content never leaves your Mac.

Speaker Diarization

Traditional transcripts are walls of text. Without knowing who said what, they're nearly unusable for anything meaningful.

Yakki now automatically identifies and labels speakers in any recording:

  • Auto-detect up to 8+ speakers - No setup required, Yakki figures out who's who
  • Rename speakers - Change "Speaker 1" to actual names with one click
  • Speaking statistics - See speaking time, word count, and participation metrics
  • Segment splitting - Correct any misattributed segments easily
  • Export as dialogue - Get clean, formatted conversation transcripts

Whether you're transcribing team meetings, interviews, or podcasts, you'll always know who said what.

Audio File Import

Not everything happens live. Voice memos from your phone. Interview recordings. Podcast episodes. Meeting recordings from other apps. They all need transcription.

Yakki now supports drag-and-drop import of any audio file:

  • Wide format support - MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, OPUS, WebM
  • Queue processing - Import multiple files at once
  • Progress tracking - See transcription status for each file
  • Full speaker detection - Imported files get the same diarization as live recordings

Simply drop a file onto Yakki and let it work. No complicated import process, no file conversion needed.

Performance & Reliability

Beyond these major features, we've made significant improvements under the hood:

  • 100% audio capture rate - Fixed pause handling that was causing lost text
  • 10-20x faster processing - Batch transcription for app audio
  • Long transcript support - Handles 100k+ character meetings without issues
  • Improved diarization accuracy - More reliable speaker detection

Privacy First, Always

These new features don't change our core commitment: your data stays on your Mac. Transcription, speaker detection, and AI analysis all happen locally using Apple's Neural Engine. No cloud processing, no data leaving your device.
