Minutes: AI Meeting Note Taker

Minutes doesn't just transcribe. It reads the audio and builds structured notes with headings and bullet points, pulling out what mattered. You get a document that reads closer to meeting minutes than to a raw transcript. That cuts down the editing most people do by hand.

This AI transcription app records live and builds the transcript in real time. It separates speakers, so a back-and-forth conversation stays readable instead of turning into one wall of text. That matters for interviews, panels, and any call where who said what actually counts.

After a recording finishes, you can ask it questions. Want the stats someone cited, the list of decisions, or a quick recap? Type the question and the AI answers from the recording. It turns a long meeting into something you can query instead of rewatch.

Three ways in: the built-in recorder, an uploaded file, or a YouTube link. The upload path accepts mp3, mp4, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav, and webm. Handy if you already have recordings from Voice Memos or another app and don't want to re-record. You can transcribe meetings you captured elsewhere, and you can pull the audio back into a searchable, speaker-labeled transcript without touching the original file, without starting over.

Turn notes into a formatted PDF, an email, or a text message and send them on. The output is designed to be shareable with little cleanup. That matters when you're sending minutes to people who weren't in the room.

The app handles 50+ languages and lets you set transcription and summary languages separately. So you can transcribe a Spanish call and read the notes in English. Useful for multilingual teams. Accuracy varies by language and audio quality, so check the output on less common languages.

Minutes says it's SOC 2 compliant and that it won't sell your data or hand it to unrelated third parties. You can delete your data permanently at any time. For anyone recording sensitive calls, those are the commitments to check before trusting an app with the audio.
