How do you summarize a 2-hour meeting recording? Upload it and read the brief.
Upload the recording and about 4 minutes later you have a brief of the meeting's main point and takeaways, chapters for each agenda item, the numbers, dates and names that came up, and participants named in the summary, with the full transcript underneath. Two hours is 120 minutes, the first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers four such meetings with 20 minutes to spare.
Two hours, one page
What the summary gives you.
The brief
A short statement of what the meeting was about and its takeaways, the part people who missed it actually read. Use it as the opening of your minutes or paste it into the follow-up email.
Chapters that follow the agenda
The two hours are split by topic with start times, so the chapters usually line up with the agenda: budget, hiring, next quarter. Anyone who needs only their item can jump straight to it.
People, numbers and dates
Participants are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. The figures, deadlines and names mentioned are gathered in one list, which is where most action items hide. Ask the chat "what was decided about the launch date?" to confirm before you send anything.
Any recording, after the fact
Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and Webex recordings all work, as does a phone left on the table. Nothing joins the call; the work happens on the file. A heavy video goes through the upload page, or extract its audio first.
Summaries from memory
How a 2-hour meeting usually gets written up.
✗ Written the next day
Whoever took notes summarizes from memory, and the second hour fades first.
- A recap that skips the last agenda items
- Decisions remembered differently by each person
- Numbers rounded or forgotten
- Action items without owners
- A notetaker bot invited in advance
- Rewatching the recording to check one detail
✓ Written from the recording
Every minute of the meeting feeds the summary, and you check it against the transcript.
- Brief with takeaways
- Chapters per agenda item
- Participants named in the summary
- Numbers and dates listed
- A chat to confirm decisions
- About four minutes, no bot
Sample output
From the second hour of a planning meeting.

FAQ
Meeting summaries, answered.
How long does it take to summarize a 2-hour meeting?
About 4 minutes once the recording has uploaded, since processing runs near 2 minutes per hour of audio. The summary, chapters and transcript arrive together, so you can send the recap while the meeting is still fresh. A large video file takes longer to upload than to process; the audio-only file most platforms save beside the video is the quicker upload.
How much does a 2-hour meeting summary cost?
Two hours is 120 minutes. The first 20 are free for a first-time visitor, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers it with 380 left. A weekly 2-hour meeting comes to 480 minutes a month, so one $6 pack covers a month of them. Credits never expire.
Will it write formal minutes?
It gives you the material for minutes: brief, takeaways, chapters per item, named participants, numbers and dates, and the full text. Most teams paste the brief and the decisions into their own minutes template, add the attendance list, and check each decision with the chat before the minutes go out. Formal approval of the minutes stays with your chair or secretary.
Does a bot have to join our meeting?
No. Nothing joins the call. Record the meeting the way you already do and upload the file afterwards, whichever platform it ran on.
What if the meeting was in more than one language?
99 languages are detected automatically. A meeting that switches language is detected on its main language, and English terms dropped into another language are handled.
Which exports, and is a confidential meeting safe?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON; DOCX suits minutes. Meeting audio is transcribed on our own servers and is never used for training. For teams that meet every week there is also a $19 per month Workspace.
