Record voice notes and meetings directly within Obsidian (macOS & iOS), transcribe them using OpenAI Whisper or Google Gemini with automatic size-chunking, and summarize/polish them using your LLM of choice (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, or Google Gemini).

🚀 Key Features

• Direct Local Recording: Record high-quality audio directly inside Obsidian. Includes support for selecting specific input devices (microphones) via settings.
• Dual-Provider Transcription:
  • OpenAI Whisper: Automatically chunks larger audio files at 22MB to safely stay under OpenAI's 25MB limit.
  • Google Gemini: Transcribes using the latest stable Gemini API (e.g., gemini-2.5-flash), chunking at 10MB to respect inline payload boundaries.
• Intelligent Post-Processing: Automatically cleans up transcripts using Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), or Google (Gemini) based on your custom formatting instructions.
• Flexible Note Output:
  • Create a new Markdown file based on custom date/time templates and title generation.
  • Or paste the transcription/summary directly at your current cursor position.
• Fail-Safe Resilience: If any network error, invalid key, or deprecated model causes transcription or post-processing to fail, the plugin will still save the recorded audio file to your vault and create the note with the media player link so you never lose a recording.
• Premium Visuals: Features dynamic visual wave bars, recording status blinking alerts, and time counters designed to integrate seamlessly with modern Obsidian themes.

🛠️ Developer Commands

If you want to modify or compile the plugin yourself:
