What the local speech model needs

Required

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. There is no public Mac or Linux build.
  • About 4 GB of free disk space for the app and speech model.
  • An internet connection for model-backed features. Transcription works offline after setup.

Optional

  • Discord desktop for clean player and character labels without a call bot.
  • An NVIDIA graphics card for faster transcription and better handling of names.
  • A microphone for games played around one table.

From installer to a finished transcript

  1. 01

    Run the installer

    SmartScreen warns first, because this release is not code signed yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

  2. 02

    Let the speech model download

    LoreMonkey picks a model to match your PC, anywhere from a few hundred megabytes to roughly three gigabytes. Do this before game night rather than during it.

  3. 03

    Run the setup check

    Three checks in order: audio capture, transcription, then the AI connection. Each says what to change if it fails.

  4. 04

    Connect Discord, if you play online

    Optional, and no bot joins the call. It is what puts character names on the transcript instead of unlabelled lines.

This release is not code signed. Windows SmartScreen will show a warning before installation. This notice comes down as soon as signing is in place.

Tell the people at the table

LoreMonkey transcribes a conversation involving other people. Tell them before capture starts and check the consent rules where you live.

Setup trouble? Ask in the LoreMonkey Discord or write to hello@loremonkey.com. Paste in the report the app makes for you (Account, then App version, then Copy diagnostic report): it carries the version, your setup and the recent log, with nothing from your table in it, and it is what the first reply would otherwise ask for.

Before you install

Questions people ask first

Is LoreMonkey free to download?

Yes. Recording, transcription, speaker labels and the campaign index are unlimited on every plan, because they run on your own computer. A free trial is included so you can judge the recaps during a real session.

Why does Windows warn me about the installer?

This release is not code signed yet, so SmartScreen shows a warning before it will install. Choose More info and then Run anyway. The notice on this page will come down once signing is in place.

Do I need a graphics card?

No. An NVIDIA card makes transcription faster and handles unusual names better, so LoreMonkey uses one when it finds it. Without one it runs a smaller model on the processor instead.

How much disk space does it need?

About 4 GB for the app and its speech model. The model is downloaded on first launch and ranges from a few hundred megabytes to roughly three gigabytes, depending on what your PC can run.
