AI transcription for Windows
Zoom, Teams and Meet calls, meetings around a table, interviews and recordings you already have, in 30 languages. No notetaker joins your call, and your recordings never reach our servers.
A download for Windows 10 and 11, with an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card. Will it run on my PC?
Foundry at work
A community call, nothing rehearsed. Foundry writes it down while people talk, one colour for each speaker, and keeps the recording with the text.
Where it listens
Online calls
Choose your PC's sound as the input, and Foundry writes down what you hear in your headphones. Nobody new joins the call, and nobody gets an invitation from a notetaker.
Speaker 2So you're using the forum to give you those stats?
Speaker 1Comes from GitHub, uh, forums, meetup groups, Slack, Stack Overflow and Reddit.
Speaker 2And what, sorry, and what tooling is, is giving you that information?
Recordings you already have
Drop in MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, MP4, MOV and more. Every phrase keeps its time, so you can jump back to any moment.

Your own voice
Speak into your microphone and the words appear as you talk. Punctuation and edits are spoken too:

Foundry Link
Scan the code in Foundry and your phone becomes its microphone, right in the browser, with no app to install. The sound travels to your PC over an encrypted connection, so the PC can stay at your desk, or at home across town.
Here your phone listens.
There your PC writes it down.
Who said what
On the Professional plan, Foundry tells the speakers apart and gives each one a colour and a name you choose. Every word stays tied to the recording, so checking a quote takes one click.
Languages
Leave it on Automatic: Foundry hears which language is spoken, and when a call switches, the transcript follows. Pick any name to watch Foundry write down a real recording in that language.
English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Czech, Slovak, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Romanian, Croatian, Serbian, Catalan, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese (Mandarin), Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay and Filipino.
After the meeting
1 Read it back
The recording stays with the text. Click any word and Foundry shows who said it and when. Press play and the text follows the sound.
2 Fix it
Type the names and terms your team uses into Hot Words, and Foundry listens for them. Anything else you correct right in the text, like in any document.
3 Send it on
Export every recording as one MP3 with the whole document as text beside it, or save the text as TXT or RTF.
Privacy
Client calls, interviews, board meetings, salary talks. Most meeting tools upload the recording to their cloud to write it down. Foundry writes it down on your own graphics card.
Sign-in and the license check use the internet. When your phone is the microphone, it sends its sound to your PC over an encrypted connection.
