It records a conversation (or takes a recording you already have) and writes the transcript, with who said what and when. Then it writes the notes: a short overview, an outline you can jump around in, the key points, the decisions and the action items with who owns them. You can translate the notes, ask questions about a meeting, and share or export it.

Not to try it. Get started opens a trial with a few free minutes. To keep your notes, create a free account from Settings: everything you recorded on the trial comes with you. Trial notes are deleted after 30 days without use.

In the Transkribe app on your phone, and in a browser at www.transkribe.com/app. Sign in with the same account and your meetings are in both.

Tap the red Record button in the middle of the bottom bar. Recording starts at once. Tap Stop when you're done: the meeting opens, and the transcript and notes are usually ready in a minute or two. The first time, Transkribe asks for the microphone.

While recording, tap the chip under the timer (for example English · General). You can set the spoken language, the meeting type (which shapes the notes) and the language the notes are written in. Your defaults are in Settings → Recording.

Tap it when something important is said. Once the transcript is ready, that moment shows up under Highlights in the meeting's notes, with its time. Marks are kept on the phone you recorded with until then.

Yes, inside Transkribe. Tap the arrow at the top left to tuck the recording screen away: recording carries on, and the Record button shows the time. Tap it to come back.

A phone call, Siri or another app can take the microphone. When that happens, Transkribe pauses and says so. Tap Resume to carry on, or Stop to keep what was recorded.

On iPhone, the next time you open Transkribe it offers to transcribe what was recorded up to that point. On other devices it tells you the recording was interrupted.

The audio is saved on your phone and Transkribe tries again when you're back online. You can also tap Retry on the Home screen. Nothing is lost while it waits.

Recording laws vary by country and state. Tell everyone you're recording, and get any consent that's required where you and they are. You're responsible for how you use recordings.

Audio (MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, OGG) and video (MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI). Use the upload button on the Home screen, or Upload a file in the web app.

Up to 100 MB on a free account, and 30 MB while you're trying Transkribe without one. The upload also counts against your free minutes for the month.

Open the meeting's Transcript tab and tap a speaker's name. Rename them once and every line from that speaker changes, and the notes follow.

Press and hold the line to correct it (you can also change the speaker or mark it as a highlight). If you add a name or term Transkribe didn't know, it offers to add it to your custom vocabulary so new recordings spell it right. The vocabulary is in Settings → Recording.

After corrections, the meeting may offer to rewrite the notes from the corrected transcript.

Yes. In a meeting, tap Translate… and pick a language. Transcripts work in nearly 60 languages, including conversations that switch between them.

• Share link: a read-only page anyone with the link can open in a browser, no account needed. You choose whether the transcript is included, and you can turn the link off at any time.
• Share with people: invite someone by email. They read the meeting in their own Transkribe account (it has to use that email address), and can't change it.
• Follow-up email: a draft from the notes, to edit and send from your mail app.

Open the meeting, tap ⋯ then Export: PDF, Word, Markdown, captions (SRT) for video, or the original audio.
