FROM THE APP
From speech to a useful summary.
IN DEVELOPMENT
More than a recorder.
Soumari is also growing into a music player. The broader music-player experience is in progress; recording, transcription and AI summaries remain part of the app.
03 / LOCAL FIRST
Your recordings.
On your device.
Recording, transcription and summary processing are designed to run locally. Your recordings are not uploaded to an AI service by these features.
Privacy policy draftA few things to know
Models and downloads
Transcription needs a downloaded Whisper model. Optional model downloads need network access; the app's network-access setting is off by default.
AI compatibility
Summaries use Gemini Nano on supported devices, with a downloaded Gemma model as another local option. Availability, speed and memory use depend on the device and model setup.
Sharing is your choice
Exporting or sharing sends the selected file to the destination you choose. That destination's handling is separate from Soumari's local storage.
IN THE LAB
Built in the open.
Still moving forward.
Soumari is in active development alongside our other applications. Feature availability and interface details can change between builds.
