On-device use cases - meeting notes and voice workflows
In on-device mode, recording, transcription, storage, and search happen in the browser. Transcripts stay in the workspace unless you choose an export, backup, BYOK analysis, or cloud provider. Live captions are different: the browser's speech service may process audio, even though jotty.pro does not save an audio file for that live transcript. Review the in-app notice before recording.
This fits confidential meetings, professional notes, personal journaling, interview practice, technical conversations, and client calls where you want to choose how each piece of content is processed.
When to keep transcription on-device
- Confidential meeting transcription: boardroom, M&A, and strategy sessions that shouldn't default to a meeting-bot vendor.
- Legal and clinical voice notes: device-scoped workflow for attorneys, clinicians, and other regulated professionals.
- Private voice journaling: raw founder brain dumps and personal reflection that stay on the device you journal on.
- BYOK AI notes for developers: on-device transcription, with hosted models reserved for specific excerpts.
- Interview and presentation practice: rehearse answers or presentations with mic-only live captions, then review transcript-based feedback without saving an audio file.
- Client-call transcription for consultants: start on the device, decide per-passage what moves to BYOK, export, or a cloud provider.
If your IT or compliance team has already approved a cloud provider and you want the speed or model access that comes with it, see the cloud-provider branch. Same local DuckDB storage, the provider handles the AI.
