A Chrome extension captures the call, and the dinome app shows a live transcript with speaker names next to your notes. The speech recognition runs on your own computer, so audio and transcripts never leave it. + +This repository holds the Windows installers. + +## Download + +**[dinome-Setup-0.1.0.exe](https://git.mariosem.es/msemes/dinome-releases/releases/download/v0.1.0/dinome-Setup-0.1.0.exe)**, version 0.1.0 from 2026-10-14, 116 MB. + +Release notes and older versions are on the [releases page](https://git.mariosem.es/msemes/dinome-releases/releases). + +## Install + +1. Run the installer. It installs dinome for your Windows user only and needs no administrator rights. +2. Windows may warn about an unknown publisher, because the installer is not code-signed. Choose **More info**, then **Run anyway**. +3. dinome opens a setup guide. Follow its steps: + - **Speech engine.** dinome downloads it once. With an NVIDIA graphics card that is about 2 GB, without one a few hundred MB. + - **Croatian model.** About 3.2 GB is downloaded and converted on your computer; 1.6 GB stays on disk. + - **Chrome extension.** Open `chrome://extensions` in Chrome and turn on **Developer mode**. Click **Load unpacked** and choose `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\dinome\resources\extension`. The setup guide has a button that opens this folder. +4. Join a Google Meet call and click the dinome icon in Chrome's toolbar, or press **Alt+Shift+N**, to start the transcript. + +## Requirements + +- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with Google Chrome. +- An NVIDIA graphics card with 6 GB of memory or more is recommended. Without one, dinome runs on the processor, which is much slower. +- About 8 GB of free disk space during setup and 5 GB afterwards. +- Internet access for the first start. After that, only Google Meet itself and the update check use the network. + +## Updates + +dinome checks this repository for new versions. When one is out, the top bar shows **Update to** and the new version number. Nothing is downloaded until you click it, and dinome restarts into the new version only when you choose to, never during a meeting. + +After an update, dinome may ask you to reload the Chrome extension. Open `chrome://extensions` and click the reload icon on the dinome card. + +## Uninstall + +Open Windows **Settings**, then **Apps**, then **Installed apps**, and uninstall dinome. + +Your meetings and notes stay in `%APPDATA%\dinome`. The speech engine and models, about 5 GB, stay in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\dinome`. Delete those folders to remove everything. + +## Troubleshooting + +- **"The connection to Hugging Face was blocked on this computer"**: a firewall or antivirus blocked dinome's new Python program. Allow the programs in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\dinome\engine`, then click **Try again**. +- **"Chrome extension not connected"**: check that the extension is loaded from the folder above and switched on, then click its reload icon in `chrome://extensions`. +- Logs are in `%APPDATA%\dinome\logs`.
