dinome

Dixi, notavi, memini: "I spoke, I noted, I remember".

Meeting notes for Google Meet that work in Croatian and English. 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 nothing is uploaded to transcribe a call. Audio leaves your computer only into your own backup, if you turn one on, and never goes to an AI; transcripts and notes leave it only where you choose: the backup, an online model for polishing, summaries and questions, or the AI apps you let read them.

This repository holds the downloads: the Windows installer and the macOS disk image.

Download

Version 0.28.0 from 2026-11-10:

Windows: dinome-Setup-0.28.0.exe, 123 MB.
macOS (Apple silicon, macOS 13 or later): dinome-0.28.0-mac-arm64.dmg, 138 MB.

Release notes and older versions are on the releases page.

Install on Windows

Run the installer. It installs dinome for your Windows user only and needs no administrator rights.
Windows may warn about an unknown publisher, because the installer is not code-signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
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.
Join a Google Meet call and click the dinome icon in Chrome's toolbar, or press Alt+Shift+N, to start the transcript.

Install on a Mac

An early build: it works, with the limits listed under Requirements and Updates.

Open the disk image and drag dinome onto Applications.
Open dinome. macOS says it could not verify the app, because it is not signed by Apple: choose Done, open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, scroll down to the note about dinome and click Open Anyway. Once is enough. (Should macOS call the app damaged instead, open Terminal, run xattr -cr /Applications/dinome.app, and open dinome again.)

- Chrome extension. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome, turn on Developer mode and click Load unpacked. The extension's folder is inside the app, which that window cannot browse into: press ⇧⌘G (Shift-Command-G), paste /Applications/dinome.app/Contents/Resources/extension (the setup guide's Copy path copies it), press Return and click Select.
Join a Google Meet call and click the dinome icon in Chrome's toolbar, or press Option+Shift+N, to start the transcript.

Requirements

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, or macOS 13 or later on a Mac with Apple silicon; Google Chrome 127 or newer.
On Windows, an NVIDIA graphics card with 6 GB of memory or more is recommended. AMD Radeon and Intel Arc graphics are used too (about twice as quick as the processor on built-in Radeon graphics); without any of them, dinome runs on the processor, which is slower. On a Mac with macOS 14 or later, the speech engine and summaries run on the Mac's graphics chip (on macOS 13, speech runs on the processor).
About 8 GB of free disk space during setup and 5 GB afterwards.
Internet access for the first start. After that, apart from Google Meet itself, dinome goes online only for the update check, for a further download when something you use needs one (another model, the voice model, an update of the speech engine), and for what you turn on: the backup in Google Drive, or an online model for polishing, summaries and questions.

Updates

On Windows, 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. Every update is signed: dinome installs only an update that carries its author's signature.

On a Mac, dinome updates itself the same way when it is in Applications (or another folder you can change). Versions 0.18.0 and older do not: install the newest disk image from the releases page once, the same way as the first, and it updates itself from then on.

After an update, dinome may ask you to reload the Chrome extension. Open chrome://extensions and click the reload icon on the dinome card.

Beta versions

A beta brings the next version a week or two before everyone else, for those who like to try new things first and say what goes wrong. It can have rough edges; your meetings, notes and settings are safe either way.

The current beta is version 0.28.1-beta.2 from 2026-11-11; what it brings is on its release page.

Windows: dinome-Setup-0.28.1-beta.2.exe, 123 MB.
macOS: dinome-0.28.1-beta.2-mac-arm64.dmg, 140 MB.

To get the betas, open Settings, then About, and choose Beta under Updates: dinome then offers each beta, and each stable version too. To leave them, choose Stable there. dinome keeps the beta it has until a stable version newer than it is out and then moves to it, or goes back to the newest stable version at once, where it can.

Support

dinome is made by Mario Semeš. Questions, problems and ideas: dinome.support@mariosem.es.

Built with AI. dinome was developed with AI coding assistance (Claude by Anthropic). Like any software it can contain mistakes; please report them to dinome.support@mariosem.es.

Uninstall

On Windows, open 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.

On a Mac, move dinome from Applications to the Bin. Your meetings, notes, the speech engine and the models stay in ~/Library/Application Support/dinome; delete that folder 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 (on a Mac ~/Library/Application Support/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.
To report a problem, save a diagnostic report (Settings → About → Diagnostics → Save report…) and email it to dinome.support@mariosem.es: one .zip with dinome's logs and how the computer and dinome are set up, without recordings, transcripts, summaries, notes, keys or sign-ins. The logs can name the people dinome recognised in your calls, and your microphones. The logs themselves are in %APPDATA%\dinome\logs on Windows and ~/Library/Application Support/dinome/logs on a Mac.
