How to Transcribe a Hinglish Meeting on Mac
To transcribe a Hinglish meeting on Mac, select MemoFlow’s Apex transcription model, grant microphone and system-audio permissions, and start recording before the call. Try it first with a colleague who switches between Hindi and English in the same sentence. Check both sides of the conversation and review names, dates and decisions before sharing the notes.
Set up Hinglish transcription on your Mac
- Install MemoFlow on an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later. Open Settings › AI, select Apex for meeting transcription, and finish downloading the model. Allow time for the first optimisation before your call.
- Open Settings › Permissions in MemoFlow. Enable Microphone for your voice and Screen & System Audio Recording for the other side. If MemoFlow prompts you to relaunch, do so before starting the test.
- Ask the other participant if you can record. Join the call on the Mac running MemoFlow, then start recording in MemoFlow. The app captures microphone and system audio locally without adding a participant to the call.
MemoFlow uses the local Oriserve Apex speech model for this workflow. See MemoFlow’s model setup help if the download is still preparing. For a browser-based call, follow the Google Meet setup and audio checks.
Run a short Hinglish test call
Read one line each, leaving a pause between speakers. The script below is a practice exercise using fictitious details. Compare your actual transcript with the script and keep the original result so you can see where it needs editing.
You “कल की client demo का scope freeze कर दो। Priya, Tuesday को revised deck भेज देना।”
Other participant “Tuesday नहीं, Wednesday। मैं revised deck Wednesday को भेज दूँगी।”
Check that the transcript kept Priya and revised deck, and that the correction from Tuesday to Wednesday is visible. Hindi may appear in Devanagari or in Latin script depending on the output. Choose the script your team can review comfortably and check that the words still carry the same meaning.
MemoFlow’s published demo shows a mixed-language sentence typed into a Mac app. It shows what dictation output looks like. Use the two-person exercise above to evaluate meeting capture and transcription on your own setup.
Review the transcript and action items
Stop the recording and open the saved meeting. Check a line from each audio source. You refers to the microphone track. Others refers to system audio and can contain multiple remote speakers. Confirm the owner in the conversation before assigning an action item.
The example above should result in an action item for Priya to send the revised deck on Wednesday. If a summary repeats Tuesday, check the transcript against the audio and correct the date before sharing. Do the same for prices, times and names, especially when someone corrects themselves or talks over another person.
MemoFlow stores recordings locally and can transcribe without an internet connection once the model is ready. The video call itself still needs internet access. If you explicitly configure a cloud model with your own API key, transcript text may be sent to that provider. See how MemoFlow handles recordings and transcript text.
Fix missing audio or language errors
- Only your voice appears. Check Screen & System Audio Recording, relaunch MemoFlow if prompted, and record a fresh clip with the other person speaking.
- Only the other voice appears. Check the microphone permission, the selected input and its level. Test with the mic you plan to use on the call.
- Hindi words are skipped. Confirm Apex is selected for meeting transcription and has finished preparing. Try a clean sample without overlapping speakers before testing a noisy call.
- The transcript is right but the action item is wrong. Check the original audio around the correction and fix the notes before circulating them.
