Meeting Transcription for Linux (Beta): The Only Native Solution That Works
The Linux transcription gap
If you use Linux as your daily driver, you know the pain: every meeting transcription tool either has no Linux app, or requires you to use a web-based workaround that barely works.
Otter.ai? No Linux app. Fireflies.ai? No Linux app. Gong? Also no Linux app. Fathom? Web-only — no desktop app at all.
Cohearo is built for Linux (Beta)
Cohearo was designed with Linux as a first-class platform from day one. We provide a native Linux desktop client (Beta) that works on Ubuntu, and we're actively expanding distribution support.
⚠️ Linux (Beta): Currently tested on Ubuntu. Other distributions may require additional dependencies. Using a different distro? Let us know — we're expanding support.
No web wrapper. No Electron hack. A native app that captures your system audio and turns it into formatted documents.
What Linux users get
- Native PulseAudio/PipeWire capture — record from any app, any meeting tool
- Offline recording — works without internet
- Smart templates — user stories, meeting notes, technical docs
- System tray integration — always accessible
- Keyboard shortcuts — start/stop recording without leaving your terminal
For engineering teams on Linux
Many engineering and product teams run Linux workstations. If your team uses Linux, you've been unable to use meeting transcription tools — until now.
- Standups → structured notes with action items
- Design reviews → formatted feedback documents
- Sprint planning → user stories generated while you speak
- Technical discussions → searchable documentation
All from a tool that runs natively on your Linux machine.
Works with any meeting app
Because Cohearo captures device audio (not a bot on the call), it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, Discord — any app that outputs audio. No integrations needed.
