# Jot

> Jot is a free Mac app for dictation, captures and meetings. It transcribes speech on the Mac and calls no language model of its own. Every recording is a folder holding recording.xml, which an agent can read, even while a meeting is still going.

Recordings are in ~/Documents/Jot/ unless the person chose another folder, in Meetings/, Captures/ and Dictations/, one folder each. Read the guide for agents before reading a recording.
