Automatic setup available for recurring meetings. Listening back to an hour-long meeting recording to pull out notes often takes longer than the meeting itself. Transcribing audio and extracting a decisions-and-actions list from that text has become a job AI-powered tools can finish in minutes. This is the AI-accelerated version of “manual transcription” — a service that’s been in steady demand on platforms like Upwork for a long time. A job that takes hours to transcribe by hand, I can now deliver much faster, with reasonable accuracy, using the right tools. ## From Audio Recording to Text, From Text to Summary The first step is transcription — turning the audio recording into text. The second step is producing something meaningful out of that raw text: who said what, which decisions were made, who was assigned what. Raw transcript text ends up too long for anyone to want to read — the real value is in this second stage. In Turkish recordings, accent, background noise, and overlapping speakers all affect accuracy. For lower-quality recordings, I manually review and correct the transcript rather than leaving it fully automated. ## Decisions-and-actions list format The report I deliver usually has three parts: a short summary (the meeting’s main topic and outcome), the decisions made, and a clear action list of who was assigned what. This format lets even someone who wasn’t in the meeting understand what happened in a few minutes. If you want, the format can also be adapted to whatever template your team already uses in your project management tool — I don’t force a fixed format. ## Automatic setup for recurring meetings If you have meetings that repeat weekly or monthly (team meetings, client calls), we can turn this process into an automated flow instead of a one-off job: once the recording ends, transcription, summary, and action list get generated automatically and land in a designated channel (email, Slack, project management tool). Whether you need a one-off job or an automated setup, we figure that out together in the intro call based on how often you meet. **How we start:** First, we talk through what you want and what’s realistic. If it makes sense, I send scope and price in writing, then we begin.

For sensitive meeting content, we talk this through upfront; I sign an NDA if needed and explain clearly where the data is processed. Not every meeting goes to every tool — I choose based on the sensitivity of the content. ### How accurate is it for Turkish recordings? Quite good for clearly spoken recordings with little background noise. Accuracy drops for crowded meetings with overlapping speech or low audio quality — in those cases, I add a manual correction step. ### Can you process video recordings too? Yes, I extract the audio from video and apply the same process. If the video content itself (screen share, a presentation) matters separately, I can note that too, but audio is the primary layer processed. ### How long does delivery take? It depends on the length and quality of the recording — same day for short, clear recordings, a few days for long, low-quality ones. Once we set up a recurring workflow, this turnaround shortens automatically.
