Make notes from a video
Upload the video file, or paste a link to a public video. The speech is transcribed and the notes are written from it. What is only shown on screen, such as slides, code or a diagram with no narration, does not reach the notes, so add those yourself.
Notes from meetings
For video calls, the AI note taker can join the call and do this for you. For a meeting you already recorded, upload it here.
