Already have a recording? Drop it into talat and it transcribes it on your machine, with the same speech models, speaker identification, and custom vocabulary it uses for a live meeting. Nothing is uploaded.
Supported files
talat imports WAV, MP3, M4A, MP4, FLAC, OGG, and AAC. For video files it lifts the audio track out for you, so an MP4 screen recording works the same as an audio file.
Ways to import
- Drag and drop a file anywhere onto the talat window.
- Use the Import button in the header.
- Open the command palette and import from there.
- Ask an assistant connected over the MCP server to import a local file.
While it runs
An import sheet opens straight away. talat analyses the audio, then shows a rolling line of transcript, a progress bar tracking its true position through the file, and an estimate of the time left. You can cancel from the very first moment, which discards the whole import: no meeting, no transcript, no audio left behind.
A file longer than a few seconds that turns out to have no speech in it (a silent or music-only track, or an unsupported format) is discarded with a note rather than saved as an empty meeting.
When it finishes
A finished import is treated exactly like a recorded meeting. It gets a title, and if summarisation is on, a summary, action points, and chapters, and it runs through your usual export and webhook steps. talat opens it on the transcript when it’s done.
