Features
Everything Capvo does.
A desktop app for Mac and Windows that captures every call you make, transcribes it on your machine, and pushes the structured result into whatever stack your team already lives in. Here’s what’s inside.
- 01Capture
Every call, every platform.
Capvo runs in the background on Mac and Windows and detects active meetings on Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and the phone automatically. No browser extension, no meeting bot joining the call on your behalf, no participant list polluted by an unfamiliar guest.
For everything outside those platforms — a podcast, a 1:1 in person, a customer call on a desk phone — start a recording manually and Capvo uses your microphone directly.
- Platforms
- Meet · Zoom · Teams · Phone · Mic
- Detection
- Automatic, no extension
- 02Transcribe
Realtime, on your machine.
Transcription is powered by Whisper Large-V3, running locally. Your audio never leaves your laptop unencrypted; the transcript appears seconds after each phrase is spoken.
Every line lands with a speaker label, an offset in seconds from the start of the call, and a sequence number that stays stable across retries and edits.
- Model
- Whisper Large-V3
- Latency
- ~ 2–4 s per phrase
- Locale
- 99 languages supported
- 03API
A clean REST endpoint.
Every recording lands at api.capvo.app the moment it finishes. Pull individual notes by UUID, list them with cursor pagination, or filter by date range, platform, and speaker.
Authenticate with a per-environment key prefixed with cpv_. Rate limits scale by plan; the response shape is documented and stable.
- Base URL
- https://api.capvo.app/v1

- Bearer cpv_…
- Pagination
- Cursor, opaque
- 04Webhooks
Push, don’t pull.
Every recorded call automatically fires a meeting.transcribed webhook with the full transcript, metadata, language, and an optional list of action items.
Deliveries are signed with HMAC-SHA256, retried on failure with exponential backoff, and idempotent by data.id. Reject anything where the timestamp is more than five minutes old.
- Signature
- HMAC-SHA256, header Capvo-Signature
- Retries
- 6 attempts, exponential backoff
- Events
- meeting.transcribed · summary.ready
- 05MCP
Native to Claude and the agent stack.
Capvo ships a remote MCP server you can drop into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any agent runtime with three lines of config. Your transcripts become first-class tool calls — searchable, summarisable, and citable in conversation.
The server speaks the same auth and pagination as the REST API. Same key, same UUIDs, same response shape.
- Endpoint
- https://mcp.capvo.app
- Auth
- Same cpv_… bearer key
- Compatible with
- Claude Desktop · Cursor · custom
- 06Privacy
Local first. Transit-encrypted.
Audio processing happens on your machine. Transcripts and metadata travel to the API over TLS only. No third-party AI service is in the path; no audio is retained server-side after transcription completes.
Per-environment API keys, revoke individually. Webhook secrets are issued once and never displayed again. Audit logs ship to Enterprise customers.
