SELF-DIRECTED PROJECT

TOOLS / LOCAL AI

The problem

Recorded ideas are easy to capture but difficult to search and reuse without a transcription step.

The approach

  • Watch exported audio folders and detect newly completed files.
  • Run a local Whisper transcription model.
  • Save transcripts and track processed files to avoid repeated work.

What was built

A small Python automation script with scan and watch modes. It illustrates a practical local-AI workflow, not an enterprise transcription service.

How this applies to your team

Useful as a starting point for searchable meeting notes, research capture and personal knowledge workflows.
