How It Works

Three steps. Zero setup.

01

KakaoTalk call starts on your computer

Open KakaoTalk and join or start a call as you normally would. No plugins, no extensions, no integrations to configure.

02

SeaMeet detects it automatically — no setup needed

SeaMeet monitors your system audio in the background. The moment a call begins, it recognizes the audio stream and prepares to record.

03

Recording starts invisibly. No bot. No notification to others.

Because SeaMeet captures audio at the system level, there is no bot joining the call, no recording indicator for other participants, and no cloud upload during the call.

What You Get

More than just recording

Invisible recording

No one in the call knows you are recording. No bot joins, no popup appears, no recording badge shows up.

AI transcription

Automatic speech-to-text powered by on-device and cloud AI models. Supports 90+ languages with speaker identification.

AI summaries

Get action items, decisions, and key points extracted automatically after every call. Never write meeting notes again.

Flashback

Forgot to hit record? Flashback saves the last 2 minutes of audio retroactively. Capture what you missed.

Local-first

Recordings stay on your device by default. No cloud upload, no third-party access, no data leaving your machine.

Why SeaMeet

What SeaMeet does that KakaoTalk doesn't

  • Recording — KakaoTalk has none for calls

    KakaoTalk doesn't offer built-in call recording. All paths are external.

  • Strong Korean transcription

    SeaMeet's Korean transcription handles honorifics, business-Korean, and Korean-English code-switching cleanly. Important for K-business and cross-border teams.

  • Works with KakaoTalk Group Calls

    Group Calls support up to 30 participants. SeaMeet captures the full mixed audio with best-effort speaker attribution.

  • Portable file

    KakaoTalk chat backups are tied to your Kakao account and phone. SeaMeet recordings are yours — mp4 or exported transcript, accessible anywhere.

Common questions

Recording KakaoTalk — questions & answers

Does KakaoTalk have built-in call recording? +
No. KakaoTalk doesn't offer native call recording. All recording paths are external.
How good is the Korean transcription? +
Very good — SeaMeet handles Korean honorifics, business-Korean (존댓말), and casual speech (반말) accurately. Korean-English code-switching (common in Korean startups and K-business) also transcribes cleanly.
Can I record KakaoTalk voice messages (음성 메시지)? +
Voice messages are files, not calls. Download the file from the KakaoTalk chat and upload to SeaMeet's "Import file" flow for a transcript.
What about KakaoTalk Live Talk (오픈채팅 라이브톡)? +
Live Talk is an audio broadcast feature inside open chats. It runs in KakaoTalk Desktop's audio stream — SeaMeet captures it identically to a regular call.
Does the other person get notified? +
No. KakaoTalk doesn't know about SeaMeet. In Korean business, silent recording is often considered impolite — announce it before starting.
Can I record a KakaoWork (KakaoTalk for business) call? +
Yes. KakaoWork uses the same call infrastructure; SeaMeet's desktop app captures at the system-audio level regardless of which Kakao app is running.
Is it legal to record a KakaoTalk call? +
South Korean law generally requires that at least one participant consent to the recording — that's usually you. But recording others in a business context without disclosure may violate workplace policy or the Personal Information Protection Act. Ask first.
