Microsoft Teams recording to action items in English
Microsoft Teams recording 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.
The Microsoft Teams recording becomes the table of action items: the engine reads the English speech and the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items are written from the transcript. The free plan gives 3 files a day of up to 30 minutes.
