Hello, i would like to request to create GUI to use the app easily

Thank you

Hi, thanks for opening this! Good news — meetscribe already ships with a small GTK3 GUI widget. After installing, just run:

meet gui

You'll get an always-on-top window with a Record/Stop button, live timer and file size, status indicator (Recording → Transcribing → Summarizing → Done), and "Open PDF" / "Open Folder" buttons when the recording is processed. When 2+ speakers are detected it also pops up a speaker-labeling dialog before saving.

Full docs: Launch the GUI widget

Prerequisites:

• Linux with PipeWire or PulseAudio
• Python 3.10+, ffmpeg
• HF_TOKEN environment variable (free, for speaker diarization)
• Optional: Ollama for local AI summaries

If you were thinking of something different (e.g. a different platform, a full-window app instead of an always-on-top widget, a web UI, …) please let us know and we'll keep this issue open. Otherwise feel free to close it once you've tried meet gui.

Yes, thank you for your comment, I was thinking about full gui app

There is a abandoned project called Recap maybe that's a reference
