Turn messy recordings into readable meeting minutes

  • Built for real meetings: Handles fast turn-taking and natural conversation.
  • Faster team alignment: Share speaker-labeled minutes shortly after the meeting ends.
  • Privacy-friendly: Designed for internal and confidential discussions.

Speaker separation: automatically identify who spoke

Speaker separation is an AI capability that determines which parts of a recording belong to different speakers, then organizes the transcript by speaker.

  • Standard transcripts: One long block of text that’s hard to follow.
  • Taption transcripts: Segmented by speaker—easy to read like a script.

Especially useful for interviews, board meetings, and podcasts—reducing the time spent verifying who said what.

Best practices to improve accuracy and segmentation

Accuracy depends heavily on audio quality. For better meeting minutes:

  • Use a quality microphone: Avoid laptop mics when possible and keep speakers close to the mic.
  • Reduce background noise: Record in quieter rooms and avoid music or loud environments.
  • Limit overlapping speech: When multiple people talk at once, separation becomes harder—take turns when possible.

Multiple inputs and export options

Input: Upload audio/video files (MP4/MOV/AVI/WMV/FLV/MPEG/MPG/OGG/MP3/WAV/M4A) or paste YouTube/Google Drive links.

Output:

  • Transcripts: TXT, PDF (with speaker labels and timestamps)
  • Subtitles & editing: SRT, VTT, FCPXML (speaker labels supported)
  • Burned-in captions: MP4

More than transcription — a meeting transcript editor

After transcription, you can use Taption’s editor to:
  • Search keywords and instantly find what “Finance” or “PM” said.
  • Highlight key moments and take notes in-context.
  • Share a link with teammates to collaborate on meeting minutes.

Upload a meeting recording or video

Step 1: Upload meeting recording or video file interface

Import files from your device, YouTube, Google Drive, or Zoom. Supports MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, FLV, MPEG, MPG, OGG, MP3, WAV, M4A, and more.

Enable speaker identification

Step 2: Select speaker identification segmentation mode

Taption automatically separates speakers based on voice characteristics and labels each segment—so multi-speaker conversations don’t turn into one long block of text.

Rename speakers and export

Step 3: Edit speaker names and export transcript

Replace "Speaker 1 / Speaker 2" with real names or roles (Host, PM, Finance), then export speaker-labeled TXT/PDF transcripts or SRT/VTT subtitles—and optionally generate burned-in MP4 captions.
