Meeting notes Teams won't flag

In short

Blurt is a bot-free meeting recorder and dictation app for Windows. It records Teams, Zoom and Meet from your own PC, so nothing waits in the lobby, transcribes locally, and syncs with your Mac and Linux machines. IT can deploy it with MSI or winget.

The Windows question

Is there a MacWhisper
for Windows?

Short answer

MacWhisper is Mac-only. On Windows, Blurt gives you the same local-first transcription, plus bot-free meeting notes, dictation and sync with any Mac or Linux machine you also use.

Built for Windows

Feels like it
belongs on your PC.

Native installers, the system tray, your default audio devices, and a hotkey that works in every app, including Office and your browser.

Never flagged in Teams

Teams now tags notetaker bots in the lobby. Blurt never joins, so there's nothing to flag, admit or explain.

It's the most common setup we see, and the one nobody else handles well. Record on your work PC; your notes are on your Mac by the time you're home. Encrypted, and only if you turn sync on.

Windows FAQ

The questions
Windows users ask.

Will Microsoft Teams flag Blurt as a bot?
No. Teams flags third-party bots that try to join a meeting. Blurt never joins; it records the audio already playing on your PC, so it never appears in the lobby or the participant list.
Is there a MacWhisper for Windows?
MacWhisper itself is Mac-only. Blurt is the closest Windows equivalent for local transcription, and adds bot-free meeting notes, dictation and sync with any Mac you also use.
Does it work on Windows 10 and on ARM laptops?
Yes. Windows 10 (22H2) and Windows 11, on both x64 and ARM. On ARM PCs, local transcription runs natively.
Can IT deploy and manage Blurt?
Yes. Use the MSI for silent installs or winget for scripted ones. On Team plans, admins can turn Blurt Cloud off, enforce consent notices and set retention.
Does dictation work in Outlook and Word?
Yes, and in any app with a text cursor. Hold your Blurt key (Right Ctrl by default), talk, and release.
