I work in infrastructure design and construction. My clients ban all recording — no Teams, no bots, no offline AI. We'd scramble to take notes while three parties talked over each other. Weeks later, people forgot what was decided. I tried Krisp. IT blocked it. So I built BarnOwl — it types everything it hears, like a digital court stenographer. No recording, no cloud, nothing leaves your machine. I've used it every day for a month. Happy to answer any questions.

@naimz Thanks Naim, I appreciate your support. BarnOwl was truly born out of necessity — I saw a clear gap for professionals who are not allowed to record meetings. Taking notes while staying engaged is a lost art. I'd love to hear your thoughts once you've had a chance to try it out!
