Getting started
- Confirm your computer and meeting setup, then choose the available capture mode with participant consent.
- Use a short meeting containing names, dates and an explicit decision as your first sample.
- Compare the transcript and summary; correct owners and deadlines before sharing the follow-up.
Decision points
- Decide whether a concise recap is enough or whether you need the full conversation for later review.
- Check your installed experience: older and bot-free workflows have different setup instructions.
Limits
- Official help says external recordings cannot be uploaded; choose another workflow for existing audio files.
- We reviewed documentation, not transcription accuracy; current plan quotas and output conditions need checking. This listing covers desktop meeting capture; distinguish live meetings from existing audio files before comparing tools.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use it on my computer?
The compatibility page lists Mac and Windows; verify your version before expecting identical capture options.
What should I check in a summary?
Look for missing objections, tentative decisions presented as final, and tasks assigned to the wrong person.
