The file you have

What an OpenPhone recording is.

Format: An MP3 audio file.
Where to get it: Open the conversation, find the call's recording and use its menu to download it.
Who can: The people with access to that number's conversations in your workspace.
Typical size: Small: a 20-minute call is a few megabytes.

There is no link to paste for this one. Get the file onto your phone or computer first, then upload it in the box above.

How it works

Three steps, the first one is the only one that takes any thought.

Download the recording

From the call's entry in the conversation.

Drop the MP3 here

It uploads in a second or two.

File the result

Paste the summary into the CRM note and keep the DOCX with the customer's record.

Good to know

What trips people up, and what to do about it.

The phone system's own call transcripts depend on your plan. This route works for any recording you can download, and you pay only for the calls you actually need in writing.
Calls in other languages are transcribed in the language spoken; a team serving customers in Spanish or Tagalog gets text in those languages.
Recording law: the announcement your phone system plays is what makes recording lawful in consent states. Do not upload calls recorded without it.

Example. A four-person agency downloads the three sales calls of the week that turned into proposals, 70 minutes in total. The transcripts are ready in a few minutes and each summary becomes the first paragraph of the proposal.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every OpenPhone recording, whatever its length.

A transcript with timestamps

Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.

A summary, chapters and key quotes

A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.

Questions answered from the recording

Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.

Every export

TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.
