Frequently asked questions
Do you store the content of my meetings?
No. Audio is transcribed in transit and never stored on our servers. Transcripts and minutes are saved only on your Mac, in the folder you choose. Details in the privacy policy.
Does audio leave my Mac?
Yes, while you record. It is sent encrypted to our server, which relays it in real time to the transcription service (Deepgram). Text is sent to the language model (OpenAI) to write minutes, summaries, answers and translations.
Do I have to tell the other participants?
Yes. In many countries recording or transcribing a conversation requires that participants know. Tell them when the meeting starts.
Does it work with Zoom or Google Meet?
Yes. Fadeno transcribes the audio of the whole Mac, so it records the same way with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet or any other meeting app. Teams doesn’t need to be open.
It also detects the meeting to let you know and fill in the topic. In Teams (app or web) and Google Meet it picks up the title too; in Meet, only when the meeting tab is the visible one in your browser and the meeting comes from a calendar event. Zoom doesn’t show the title in its window, so Fadeno detects that a meeting is on and asks you to type the topic when you prepare the meeting.
Everything playing on the Mac goes into the transcript: mute whatever you don’t want recorded.
Which languages does it transcribe?
Spanish, English, or both mixed in the same meeting. The interface and minutes are in Spanish or English, your choice in Settings.
Can I use it on another Mac?
Write to soporte@fadenoapp.com if you need it on a second machine. If you're already subscribed, open Fadeno on that Mac with the same Apple ID and press Restore purchase.
Do I need to create an account?
No. The app is activated with your App Store subscription or the free trial. The app never asks for your name, email or a password.
