Priya: Okay, let's start. Agenda today is the Q4 newsletter launch and the vendor contract. Marco: Quick update on the newsletter. Design is done, copy is at 80 percent. Priya: When can copy be final? Marco: I can have the final copy by Thursday October 9. Priya: Good. Then we launch on Tuesday October 14. Everyone agree? Lena: Agreed. I'll set up the email sequence in the platform once copy is final, by Friday October 10. Priya: Decision then: launch date is October 14. Second topic, the vendor contract. Lena: The vendor wants a two-year term. Legal hasn't reviewed it yet. Priya: We will not sign a two-year term without legal review. Decision: we go for one year unless legal approves two. Marco: Who sends the contract to legal? Priya: I'll send it to legal tomorrow. Lena, please collect last year's invoices for comparison by next Wednesday. Lena: Will do. Marco: Also, someone should update the dashboard with the new subscriber numbers. Priya: Marco, can you take that? No rush, end of month is fine. Marco: Sure. Priya: Great, thanks everyone.

From a wall of transcript to notes you can use
Raw transcripts are long and repetitive — nobody re-reads them. This tool reads the transcript for you and returns the parts that matter: a short summary, the decisions, and a clean list of action items with owners.
It works for anything in transcript form: team meetings, customer calls, interviews, webinars, or a long voice memo you ran through a speech-to-text tool.
Built to stay faithful to the source
- It is told to use only what’s in your transcript and not to add names, numbers, or tasks. It can still drop a date or mix up an owner, so check before you send.
- Off-topic small talk is filtered out of the summary.
- Action items keep their owner and due date when the transcript states them.
- Output is plain Markdown, ready for Notion, Docs, or email.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of transcripts can it summarize?
Any text transcript — team meetings, sales and customer calls, interviews, webinars, or speech-to-text output. If it reads like a conversation or talk, it can summarize it.
How long can the transcript be?
You can paste a long meeting (tens of thousands of words). Very long transcripts are capped; if you hit the limit, trim to the part you care about and summarize that.
Will it make things up?
It is instructed to use only what appears in the transcript and not to invent details, and in our own test runs it did not add people or tasks that weren’t there. It did make mistakes with what was there: a due date came back empty, and in one run a task went to the wrong person and another was dropped. Treat the notes as a draft and check owners and dates against the transcript.
Do I need an account?
No. Paste and summarize for free. There is a daily limit per device to keep it free for everyone.
Is my transcript kept anywhere?
No. It is sent to our AI provider only to produce the summary and is not stored on our servers.
