Sessions & live transcript

A session is the core unit of Lucca. You record it, Lucca transcribes it on your Mac, and it becomes something you can read, search, and reflect on later.

Recording a session

Press Record when your session begins and Stop when it ends. Lucca shows a calm, pulsing indicator while it's listening and otherwise stays out of your way.

The live transcript

As people speak, Lucca transcribes in near real time, so by the end of the session the transcript is essentially ready. After you stop, Lucca can refine the transcript for accuracy.

Speakers

Lucca labels speakers neutrally — Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on — rather than guessing names. You can rename a speaker at any time, and the label updates throughout the transcript.

Editing & searching

Transcripts are yours to edit — fix a word, clean up a line, or add context. You can search across all of your sessions and tag them, so finding a particular session stays easy months later.

What happens to the audio

Lucca doesn't keep a permanent audio recording. It transcribes as you go and the transcript is what's saved — encrypted, on your device. The audio isn't stored long-term.
