Transcribe a 5-hour meeting and find each decision without replaying it.
A 5-hour meeting transcribes here in about 10 minutes as a single file, and it uses 300 of the 500 minutes in the $6 pack. Your first recording gets the first 20 minutes free, the file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, and the result comes with chapters, the decisions and figures that were said, and speakers named in the summary.
From recording to minutes
Five hours of discussion, sorted into what was decided.
Chapters that track the agenda
Long meetings move through items, breaks and side discussions. The chapters follow those turns with timestamps, so item four is a click away instead of somewhere in hour three. A long break shows up as a gap in the timestamps, not as an empty page.
The things minutes need
The brief lists the decisions and takeaways, and a separate list holds the names, amounts and deadlines that came up. Each speaker is identified and named in the summary, the key quotes and the chapters.
Works on the recording afterwards
Nothing joins the meeting. Record in Zoom, Teams or Meet as usual, then upload the file or paste a Google Drive link. Teams recordings are downloaded first and then uploaded. A recording that is only audio, from a phone on the table, works the same way.
The arithmetic for five hours
300 minutes leave 200 on the $6 pack, enough for another three-hour session. A team that records long meetings every week may prefer the $19 a month Workspace instead.
Writing it up
Five hours of notes by hand, or ten minutes of waiting.
✗ Minutes from memory and replay
Someone takes notes while also trying to take part, then fills the gaps from the recording.
- Notes thin out after the first hour
- Replaying hours four and five to check a figure
- Disagreement over what was actually agreed
- Action owners missing from the write-up
- Minutes ready days later
- Meeting bots that some participants object to
✓ One upload after the meeting
The full recording goes in once and the write-up starts from text.
- Five hours ready in about 10 minutes
- Chapters with timestamps for each item
- Decisions and takeaways in the brief
- Figures and deadlines listed
- Each voice named where it matters: summary and quotes
- A chat to ask what was said about any item
Sample output
Item seven, at 03:41, with the decision attached.
This is an illustrative sample, not a real meeting, showing lines from a long planning session.

FAQ
Questions about long meetings.
How long does it take to transcribe a 5-hour meeting?
About 10 minutes of processing, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio, plus the upload. Pasting a Google Drive link skips the upload.
What does a 5-hour meeting cost?
300 minutes from the $6 pack of 500. The first 20 minutes are free on your first recording, and the 200 minutes left over stay on your account.
My meeting recording is large. Will it fit?
The ceiling per file is 10 hours or 5 GB. Meeting recordings are usually far smaller than that, and before your first pack uploads go up to 2 GB.
Should I split the meeting by agenda item?
No. Keep it as one file and the chapters split it for you, with timestamps that still match the original recording.
Does it handle several languages and many speakers?
99 languages are detected automatically, and a meeting is detected on its main language. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, which is where minutes need them.
What exports are there, and is it confidential?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, with DOCX the usual start for minutes. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and no bot is ever in the call.
