This preview shows the first 150 words and does not keep your file.

Turn anything into anything: drop any file, pick what you want out of it.Try it →A raw transcript is long, repetitive and full of "um" and half-finished sentences, so the points that matter get buried. This page reads the transcript and lists its key points in order of importance, keeping the names, figures and dates each point depends on.
What you get
Points in order of importance
The list starts with the point the discussion depended on most and ends with the smallest detail, so you can stop reading when you have enough.
Names and figures kept
Who said what, and the amounts, dates and percentages each point rests on, stay in the sentence instead of being turned into vague wording.
Works on spoken words
Filler words, repeated phrases, run-on sentences and time marks are read past, so you get the content rather than a cleaned-up copy of the speech.

Who uses it
Someone who missed a meeting
Paste the transcript that a colleague sent and see what was decided, with the figures and deadlines attached to each point.
A researcher with interview recordings
Get the main points each interviewee made, with their names, before deciding which passages to read in full.
A team lead preparing a follow-up
Check the points raised in a call against your own notes, and pull out the figures that need confirming before you send the update.
Questions
Does the list keep who said what?
Yes. When the transcript names speakers, the points keep those names, so a figure or request is tied to the person who raised it. If the transcript has no speaker names, the points are written without them.
How many key points will I get?
The free preview gives a numbered list of up to eight points, each one sentence, most important first. A free account lets you choose a different number of points.
Will it handle timestamps and filler words like 'um' and 'you know'?
Yes. Time marks and filler words are ignored when the points are written, so the list reads as clean sentences rather than a copy of the speech.
Can the results contain mistakes?
Yes, a key point can misstate a figure, a name or a deadline, especially when the audio was unclear. Check any important point against the original recording or the full transcript before you rely on it.
What does a free account add?
A free account handles longer files and scans, lets you choose how many points you get, lets you edit and share the list, and lets you ask follow-up questions in chat about the transcript.
