From Discord Voice to Meeting Minutes: Local Transcription + Telegram/Slack Delivery

Source: Dev.to

Overview

discord2sum turns Discord voice calls into concise, structured meeting minutes that can be referenced later. It records the conversation, generates a short summary, and delivers it to your preferred chat platform.

How It Works

1. Join a voice channel – The bot silently joins when people start talking.
2. Listen and record – Audio is captured locally; no real‑time interruptions.
3. Detect end of call – When the channel becomes empty, the bot processes the recording.
4. Generate minutes – The bot produces a summary that includes:
   • A concise description of the call topic
   • Decisions made
   • Action items / next steps
   • Speakers / participants (where possible)
5. Deliver the summary – The minutes are sent to the configured chat service.

Features

• Local processing – Audio is recorded and transcribed on your own machine or server.
• Whisper‑based speech‑to‑text – Runs locally, keeping data private.
• Configurable summarization – Choose between:
  • A hosted LLM (e.g., OpenAI) for higher‑quality summaries
  • A local LLM endpoint (e.g., Ollama) for a fully offline pipeline
• Retention control – Store transcripts locally with customizable retention limits.

Delivery Options

• Telegram – Default, simple, and fast.
• Slack – Via Incoming Webhooks.
• Custom webhook – Send minutes as JSON to any HTTP endpoint for integration with your own tooling.

Design Philosophy

• Small and opinionated – No calendar integration, meeting invites, or complex UI.
• One job – When a Discord voice call ends, send a clear summary.
• Minimal process impact – No changes required to how people talk; the bot works quietly in the background.
