Meeting recorders charge $10–30 a month. Murmur is free. Forever.

No installation. No backend. No API costs. No data leaving your computer.

Just open murmur.ncvgl.com and click Start. Works on Zoom, Meet, Teams — anything.

How it works

Moonshine v1, a state-of-the-art speech model from ex-Googlers, runs locally in your browser. It listens to your mic and speakers, transcribes in real-time, and works without internet.

Why it’s free

Other tools cost money because they stream your audio to a server. Murmur has no server. The AI runs on your laptop, so the only cost is the electricity you were already paying for.

The tradeoff

~90% accuracy. English only. No speaker labels. But ChatGPT doesn’t need a perfect transcript to write an accurate meeting summary — it just needs the gist, and Murmur gives it that.
