Turn anything into anything: drop any file, pick what you want out of it.Try it →A raw transcript of a meeting, interview or lecture is long, repetitive and full of filler, so the main points get buried. This tool reads the transcript and writes a short summary in 3 to 5 sentences, followed by 4 to 6 key points, keeping the names, figures and what each speaker said.
What you get
Summary in 3 to 5 sentences
The summary covers the main topics of the transcript in a short paragraph, so you can read the gist before deciding whether to read the full text.
Key points as a list
After the summary, 4 to 6 bullet points list the main points. Each one is taken from what the transcript says, not from outside sources.
Names, figures and speaker points kept
Speaker names, dates, amounts and the position each person took stay in the summary, so you can see who said what and which numbers were mentioned.
How it works

Questions
Does the summary use only what is in my transcript?
Yes. The tool is instructed to use only what the transcript says. It keeps the names, figures and points each speaker made, and writes the summary in the same language as the transcript.
How much of my transcript does the free preview read?
The preview reads up to about 6,000 characters of text. A free account gives you the summary of the whole transcript, plus control over summary length and style.
Can I use this for a transcript from a video or a recorded call?
Yes, as long as you have the text. Paste the transcript or drop a text file. Time marks and speaker labels are kept where they appear, which helps you see who made each point.
Can the summary contain mistakes?
Yes, a summary can contain mistakes or miss a point. When a name, figure or decision matters, check it against the original transcript or recording before you act on it.
