Upload the recording of a board, committee or team meeting.

Put those into your minutes template, check them against the transcript, and export to Word.

Decisions and action items
The AI summary lists what was decided and who agreed to do what, with deadlines when they were said.
Who said what
Speaker labels let you attribute motions and objections correctly. Rename speakers to members' names.
Word for the minutes book
Export the transcript or summary to Word and paste into your minutes template.
The record behind the minutes

Rename each speaker label to the member's name once. The names then appear on every line, so you can see who moved and who seconded.
