How to use it

  2. 2

    Copy or download it

    Copy the text, or download the transcript file.

  3. 3

    Paste or upload it here

    Paste the text, or upload a .vtt or .txt version.

  4. 4

    Get the recap

    Summary, decisions, action items and a follow-up email.

When a Teams transcript exists

A Teams transcript only exists if someone started transcription in the meeting, and your organisation's policy has to allow it. If it wasn't on, the Align extension can take notes from Teams' live captions in a browser-based call.

What you get back

  • A short summary of what came up
  • Decisions, marked as settled only when the group agreed
  • Action items with an owner and a due date when one was said
  • Questions that are still open
  • A plain follow-up email you can paste and send

No. This tool works on any transcript text you can paste, with no Microsoft licence.

Can it read the downloaded Teams file?
