Meeting transcription
How to transcribe a meeting on your phone
A useful meeting transcript needs more than speech-to-text. It should preserve who said what, let you find a decision quickly, and make it easy to export the result to the tool where you work.
1. Put the phone where every voice is clear
Place the phone near the center of the conversation rather than beside one person. Avoid covering the microphones, and keep it away from laptop fans, paper shuffling and loud speakers. Clean audio improves both transcription and speaker separation.
2. Record the whole conversation
Start recording before the discussion begins and leave it running until the meeting ends. With an offline recorder such as Murmur, the recording remains useful even in rooms with weak Wi-Fi or no signal.
3. Transcribe and separate the speakers
After the recording, convert the audio to text and use speaker diarization to separate the different voices. A speaker-aware transcript is much easier to scan than one continuous block of text.
4. Name speakers, search and export
Rename Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 with real names, search for decisions or action items, then export the transcript to PDF, Word, Markdown or your preferred AI assistant for summarization.
