Meeting notes from a recording: notes, decisions, action items

Updated 2026 · guide

The most expensive part of a meeting is what comes after: writing down what was agreed, who owns what and by when — then sending it. Automatic meeting notes remove that step: a recording becomes a summary, decisions and action items.

What good meeting notes include

Summary in bullets — what the meeting covered.
Decisions — what was approved/rejected.
Action items as who → what → by when.
Audio source: mic and system audio (Zoom/Teams calls).
Privacy: on-device transcription for sensitive meetings.

How Partner Voice does it

Partner Voice has a meeting mode: it records the meeting (including system audio from an online call) and produces notes — a summary, decisions and action items with owners and due dates. Export the output (.md), or turn it straight into reminders. Transcription runs on-device, so sensitive content never leaves your machine.

It's free to download — try meeting notes.

Tip: dictate action items without a recording

You don't need a full recording. Just say "Pete sends the Novak quote by Friday, Jane checks stock" and let it split that into assigned tasks with dates.
