Transcription vs. AI summary
We frequently get the question: what exactly is the difference between a transcription and the AI summary we offer? Below we explain briefly and clearly how both features work and what you can gain from them.
Transcription - a verbatim record of the conversation
A transcript is a word-for-word representation of what was said in a conversation.
Consider:
-
Spoken text converted to written text
-
Includes pauses, repetitions or irrelevant sentences
-
Useful if you want to read back or quote everything verbatim
Our transcription is automatic and fast, moreover, it often forms the basis for further analysis.
AI summary - a summary of key points
The AI-summary feature goes a step further. Instead of just noting down what was said, the system analyzes the conversation and generates a short, clear summary of the main points.
Meaning:
-
Relevant information is filtered out
-
You immediately see what has been discussed or decided
-
Saving time because you don't have to search through the entire text
When do you use which one?
-
Use transcription if you need a full report or want to recall something verbatim.
-
Use AI-summary if you want quick insight into the gist of a conversation or meeting, without reading through everything.
Both functions are available within our platform and can reinforce each other: start with the summary, and dive into the transcription when you need more details.
