Welcome to Reflector

Reflector is a privacy-focused, self-hosted AI-powered audio transcription and meeting analysis platform that provides real-time transcription, speaker diarization, translation, and summarization for audio content and live meetings. With complete control over your data and infrastructure, you can run models on your own hardware (roadmap - currently supports Modal.com for GPU processing).

What is Reflector?

Reflector is a web application that utilizes AI to process audio content, providing:

  • Real-time Transcription: Convert speech to text using Whisper (multi-language) or Parakeet (English) models
  • Speaker Diarization: Identify and label different speakers using Pyannote 3.1
  • Live Translation: Translate audio content in real-time to 100+ languages with Facebook Seamless-M4T
  • Topic Detection & Summarization: Extract key topics and generate concise summaries using LLMs
  • Meeting Recording: Create permanent records of meetings with searchable transcripts
