Team meeting notes concept with a transcript on a laptop

Good meeting notes capture decisions, owners, and open questions. A transcript gives you a source of truth; summaries help you share the outcome quickly.

A simple notes workflow

  1. Record the meeting with clear audio (or export from your conferencing tool).

  2. Upload to Simple Scribe.

  3. Search for decisions and commitments.

  4. Ask the assistant for a summary and action items—then verify against the transcript.

  5. Export DOCX or PDF into your docs tool.

What to capture every time

  • Decisions and the date they were made

  • Owners and due dates

  • Open questions

  • Links or docs referenced on the call

Tell teammates when a call is recorded and follow your company’s retention and privacy policies. See the meeting transcription use case for product details.

Verify before you send notes

AI summaries are a draft. Click timestamps to confirm wording on anything that could become a commitment, then send a clean note your team can trust.
