Audio transcription and reviewed summaries
Turn supported audio into text you can review and work with.
Use the supported uploaded-audio flow for transcription and request a summary or stated action items without assuming live meeting automation.
We should compare the two proposed approaches.

Uploaded-audio assistance; separate from planned live-meeting automation.
A transcript is working material, not a verified meeting decision.
An audio file may contain useful detail that is difficult to find by replaying it. Transcription makes that material easier to inspect, and a summary can help organize stated decisions or follow-up items. Audio quality, speaker clarity and the original wording still matter. Review names, numbers and ambiguous statements against the recording before using the output as an instruction or a confirmed account of what was agreed.
Use an eligible source with the right access.
Provide audio through its supported upload or message-attachment path, with the applicable format, size and scanning requirements. A staged or inaccessible file is not automatically available for processing. The source's audience and authority still apply, particularly for recordings containing other people's speech or cross-company communication. Decide whether the material is appropriate for this processing before submitting it, rather than assuming that possession of a file resolves every sharing question.
- Supported audio inputs with source and processing boundaries
Review the transcript before extracting decisions or tasks.
Correct misunderstood names, dates and terms. Ask for a summary or action list based on what was actually said, and distinguish a named owner or stated deadline from an inferred suggestion. If the recording never assigned responsibility, mark that as unresolved rather than presenting an invented assignee. A summary can help prepare a note, but it is not proof of agreement or an automatic instruction to the team.
- Reviewed text and stated action items without invented commitments
Stated action item

Uploaded-audio assistance; separate from planned live-meeting automation.
Keep uploaded audio separate from planned live automation.
The uploaded-audio capability is distinct from automatic speaker-attributed live meeting transcripts, meeting-to-task delegation and automatic Docs notes. Those broader experiences are in development and should not be treated as ready simply because transcription can produce text. To turn reviewed output into a record or task today, use the supported normal workflow and confirm its target, audience and details separately.

A concrete workflow
Check source
Review eligibility, access and suitability of the recording.
Transcribe
Process supported audio through its available path.
Inspect
Compare key names, numbers and statements with the source.
Use deliberately
Review the summary and separately confirm any record or task action.
An illustrative working example
Illustrative scenario: reviewing a project discussion recording
A project team processes an eligible discussion recording. The transcript contains a misunderstood customer name and an uncertain date, which the reviewer corrects against the audio. A requested summary separates agreed scope from an idea still under discussion. An action item with no explicit owner stays unassigned. The team then creates a reviewed note through its ordinary document workflow, without assuming that every participant received automatic tasks or that live meeting notes are already generally available.
Questions about this topic
Is this automatic live transcription?
This page describes uploaded audio. Automatic speaker-attributed live transcripts and related meeting automation are in development.
Can I rely on every name and date?
Review important details against the source audio; transcription and summaries can be wrong.
Does an extracted task assign somebody automatically?
No. Review stated ownership and use the supported confirmed task workflow separately.
Can any audio file be processed?
No. Supported format, size, scanning, source access and AI availability conditions apply.

Microsoft Teams
Application concept: Plan use of an eligible Teams discussion recording as uploaded audio, without claiming automatic live meeting import.
Google Docs
Application concept: Prepare a reviewed transcript summary for a Google Docs handover, checking names, dates and stated ownership.
Slack
Application concept: Draft a Slack note of explicitly stated actions after human audio review rather than inventing deadlines or automatic assignment.
