What's great
Shadow is exactly the solution I was looking for. Fortunately, I discovered it through a Reddit comment somewhere. What's brilliant is that it very accurately records all audio my Mac produces during a meeting. Thankfully, this is usually primarily voices, which allows it to create a transcript of my conversation.
The AI features that automatically generate a summary and create the right action items work beyond expectations.
I tried Shadow for free initially, but the benefits are so significant that I happily subscribed. I now also sometimes use it when I make phone calls. I put these on speakerphone and Shadow then records my entire phone conversation.
Jay is a super friendly developer who always responds very quickly and often gets me sorted in one go. I once thought Shadow hadn't recorded a conversation, but it turned out to be my own fault.
So Shadow, keep up the good work!
What needs improvement
An iOS app that actually records all my calls would be brilliant, but I think it's due to Apple's limitations that there isn't an app for that yet.
Does it record both system audio and microphone reliably?
Absolutely.
Can it recognize speakers and label them accurately?
This can be improved. When I have a long 1 on 1 meeting, I end up with 10 speakers that I have to convert back to 2 speakers.
How accurate are transcripts in noisy environments?
Very!
