The recording of a meeting is saved in the Google Meet folder on the Drive of the organiser, and the link to it comes in the email and in the calendar entry.
Google Meet to action items in English
Google Meet to action items in English: send the file and get the text with the timecodes. One file may be up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro.
With the Google Meet the engine writes the table of action items: the transcript first, then the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items. The speech is in English, the free plan gives 3 files a day, and one file is up to 30 minutes.
How to get the file and turn it into action items
- 1
Mind the transcript
The transcript in the same folder holds the spoken words only, so the recording is the better source
- 2
Give the file to the service
The widget takes the file of the Google Meet as it is and marks the speech as English, so the engine does not have to guess what it is about.
- 3
Ask for the table of action items
The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the Google Meet and writes the table of action items in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; nothing is added that was not said.
- 4
Set the language of the speech
The recording of the Google Meet is in English, and that is one of the 99+ languages the engine reads; the setting of the widget says English and the table of action items follows.

- TXT, CSV
The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.
- SRT, VTT
SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.
- Markdown, DOCX
The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.
