For me (a non-native English speaker) during work calls I find myself trying to understand accents and different tones of voice and pronunciations. Once or twice I can ask people to repeat what they've said, but more than that it can become annoying (I'm pretty sure most of us non-native English speakers have developed a skill to understand things that have been said from context). So I figured a non-intrusive recorder could help me keep track of what was said, and review it afterwards.
Telling people you're recording is your responsibility, consent depends on where each person is located, not where you are.
It does not use cloud services, it does not expect an ongoing subscription, I went with one-time purchase instead.
I will be in the thread for a few hours to answer anything.

- Privacy: nothing leaves your device.
- Other options (like Otter or Granola): AudioTap is not cloud-based, recordings are yours as local files (instead of a limited access to the transcripts), no extra non-identifiable data analysis to train anything else, offline first (although use case is online calls) and one-time payment vs subscription.
- It uses stereo channels to identify you (as [Me]) and analyzes voice embeddings to cluster other speakers in the system-audio channel (letting it know how many speakers were in the call significantly improves diarization).
Happy to go deep on any of these.
