Record and transcribe meetings anywhere. No internet required.
Most meeting recorders fail the moment you lose connectivity. Basil AI is different. Because every part of the recording and transcription pipeline runs directly on your device, you never need a Wi-Fi signal or cellular connection to capture important conversations.
Brainstorm at 35,000 feet without paying for spotty airline Wi-Fi. Your transcript is ready when you land.
Government buildings, data centers, and restricted areas with no external network access are no problem for Basil.
Field interviews, client visits in low-coverage zones, and off-grid retreats all work seamlessly.
Underground meeting spaces with zero signal are common recording environments. Basil handles them effortlessly.
Basil AI leverages the Apple Speech Recognition framework and the Apple Neural Engine built into every modern iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This dedicated hardware accelerates machine learning tasks locally, delivering fast and accurate transcription without sending a single byte of audio over the internet.
Dedicated AI hardware in Apple Silicon processes speech recognition at near-instant speeds, entirely on your device.
