Wispr Launches Mac AI Notetaker With 6-Hour Meeting Recording

Summary
Wispr’s new Mac Notetaker records meetings for up to six hours, transcribes them live, then generates AI summaries and a chatbot-style search tool for follow-up questions.
The launch expands Wispr beyond voice dictation as demand for AI meeting recorders rises; CEO Tanay Kothari said users had worked around the product’s earlier six-minute cap to cover longer meetings.
On-device transcription means the tool does not appear in calls as a visible participant, and Wispr says Privacy Mode prevents dictation data from being used for AI model training.
Kothari said users should always disclose when meetings are being transcribed, citing trust and consent concerns; in San Francisco, recording a private conversation requires all participants’ consent.
Wispr is entering a crowded field led by tools such as Granola and Otter AI, with a Windows version planned later.
