A transcript and a summary do different jobs
A transcript helps you find what was said. A summary helps you see what matters next. Keep both: a short summary without the underlying conversation can leave out a qualification or make a tentative suggestion sound like a decision.
Dicteit brings the recording’s transcript, summary and action items into its Sessions workspace. Sessions can be calls, interviews or in-person discussions, not only calendar meetings.
Before you record
Tell participants you want to record and obtain the consent required for the situation. An automatic meeting offer is a prompt, not permission to record. Confirm the audio setup with a short test so both sides of a call can be heard.
For sensitive conversations, check your organisation’s rules before sending audio to an online service. Dicteit requires online processing; do not assume it is suitable for confidential or clinical material without that review.
Review decisions against the conversation
Start with three questions: what was decided, who owns the next step, and when is it due? If the generated notes contain a precise date or commitment, check the corresponding transcript before treating it as agreed.
Speaker labels also deserve review, especially with shared microphones, interruptions or similar voices. Correct speaker assignments before sharing a summary that attributes a decision to someone.
Share the smallest useful result
Most follow-ups need the decisions and next steps, not every spoken sentence. Use the copy or share controls in Sessions to prepare the relevant content, then check the recipient and remove anything that should stay private.
Session recording and notes belong to Dicteit Premium. The Free plan is for dictation, so you can try writing by voice before adding recorded conversations to your workflow.
