What is Transcribing?

Transcribing is turning spoken words into text; AI can type out a conversation or meeting automatically.

AI listens to a recording and types along. A meeting, interview or voicemail becomes readable text, often in a few minutes. You can then have that text summarized. Mind the privacy: a recording of a conversation with colleagues or clients contains personal data.

What this means for you

It saves a lot of typing. Do ask permission before you record a conversation, and do not just drop sensitive recordings into a free tool.
