I’ve looked at Evernote but not convinced. Security doesn’t seem to be quite where it should be - maybe it’s the Italian connection?
I see there a function in MS Word but not sure whether it’ll cut the mustard.
MS Teams seems to have something incorporated, but you apparently have to notify/share it with all team participants before it can be switched on; which suggests you may as well record the full session anyway?

Tell me what you use and why 👍🙂
TIA
 
What programs/software do you want to use it with?

For our important calls/conferences on MS Teams, they simply record the session so it can be replayed/re-watched in the future by those who missed it, or if you want to re-visit it.

Thanks. I’m familiar with MS Teams/recordings
I was after summit that could précis a conversation - but don’t really know how successful or accurate any of them are.
I want to try and avoid having to listen back over an hour or more of meeting chat to pick out a point. IYKWIM?

I’m prolly asking the impossible 🫤
 
do you have copilot plugged into your Teams at work? It’s the Microsoft ai component.

That gives us a summary of everything that was discussed and the outcomes/action points of the meeting by name. Then sends out minutes automatically afterwards.

Yep.
But I think the Teams SW notifies all attendees that notes are being taken/recorded before it can be initiated?. I must have missed that it sends out minutes automatically, which is probably not a bad thing.
Ta. 👍

Yeah that’s correct. It usually mutes everyone and lets everyone know they’re being recorded.

The meeting organiser gives the ok for the summary minutes to go out after the meeting has concluded.

It’s not perfect, but certainly helps.

Copilot and teams is what I use - but yes I always notify people I am using the transcribe
 
Evernote is dead.
It was dead before Bending Spoons (the Italian tech company) bought it time ago.

I use Notion for random notes, documents, small databases.
I don't love it, but got used to it over the years.
It does have an AI annotation system for meetings (extra cost). Maybe worth a look.

Security-wise still would not pass any corporate security view.
 
Depends on what the use case is.

When I'm instructing on the bike I dictate into the headset, which connects to the Android phone via the Carpuride. Easy Voice Recorder (Pro version, needed for Bluetooth integration) has a desktop widget - one click starts / stops the recording. At the end of a 45min run I share the file with Easy Transcription which gives me a reasonable written version of what I said.

At work it's One Note, or Teams/Copilot.
