Local Transcription of Calls on Mac with M-Chip: Audio Hijack + mlx-whisper + pyannote

The author shares experience of creating a local pipeline for recording and transcribing calls on an Mac with an M-chip. Audio Hijack is used for recording, mlx-whisper on MLX for transcription, and pyannote for diarization. The entire process does not require cloud services, works on M4 in 5 minutes for a 56-minute call, and scripts are posted on GitHub.
