Meeting notes from audio
Record the call, upload the file, read what was decided.
Nobody in a meeting can both take part and take notes properly. One person ends up half present, and the write up they send around is thinner than what happened. Drop takes the recording after the fact, whether that is a Zoom or Meet export, a phone voice memo or a file in Google Drive, and returns the whole transcript with a summary above it, the decisions pulled out and the details worth remembering listed separately. Nothing needs to be installed and no bot has to join the call.
Steps
Step 1
Get the recording
Export from your call software, use a phone voice memo for a room, or copy the Drive link if the recording already landed there.
Step 2
Upload it or paste the link
Drag the file onto the card, use Upload audio or video, or paste a Drive link with viewer access. MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4 and MOV all work.
Step 3
Read the decisions first
The remember list carries the concrete outcomes: what was agreed, who was named, which dates were set.
Step 4
Send it on
Copy the summary into your notes tool or an email, with the transcript available for anyone who wants the exact wording.
What you get
- A full transcript of the call or room recording
- A summary written in plain sentences
- Decisions and takeaways separated out as a short list
- Support for uploads, direct media links and Google Drive files
- Exact wording preserved for anything contested
Questions
- Does it separate speakers?
- The transcript is continuous rather than labelled per speaker, but the summary and the decisions still read correctly for multi person calls.
- What happens to my uploaded recording?
- It goes to private storage that is not publicly readable, and it is only reachable through short lived signed links used to run the job.
- How long can the recording be?
- Long calls are fine. Multi hour audio runs in an extended job window instead of failing partway.
- Do I need consent to record?
- That depends on where the participants are. Tell people the call is being recorded, which is both the polite answer and the safe one in most places.
- What does an hour long meeting cost?
- Sixty credits, since it is one credit per minute of audio, and credits do not expire.
