Upload a meeting recording

Zoom exports, Teams recordings, or phone call audio, drop the file and get editable notes.

File Transcribe offers free meeting transcription for client calls, team standups, and remote catch-ups, without a bot joining your Zoom or Teams calendar. Upload a recording export on this page and get speaker-labeled notes with timestamps you can search, edit, and share. Capture decisions, action items, and exact quotes from discovery calls and planning sessions. Freelancers, consultants, and small teams use the same upload-first workflow to turn recorded meetings into editable documentation. No account required to try, guest uploads auto-delete after 24 hours, and signed-in users get a searchable transcript library.

Business

Who uses this

  • 1

    Client calls

    Consultants and freelancers summarize scope, timelines, and decisions from recorded client calls without re-listening to full sessions. Search the transcript for commitments, budget discussions, and deliverable dates. Export TXT for your project wiki or CRM notes after review.

  • 2

    Team standups

    Record planning sessions and share searchable notes with the team for async reference. Capture blockers, assignments, and sprint decisions in text everyone can search. Timestamps let teammates jump to specific discussion moments they missed.

  • 3

    Remote catch-ups

    Review meetings you missed without watching full hour-long recordings. Search for your name, action items, and key decisions in minutes. Copy relevant sections into Slack, Notion, or your team docs.

  • 4

    Sales calls

    Pull exact quotes and commitments from discovery calls for CRM updates and follow-up emails. Speaker labels separate rep and prospect voices for accurate attribution. Verify pricing discussions and next steps against the timestamped transcript.

How it works

  1. 1

    Record with consent

    Use Zoom, Teams, or your phone, where policy and participant consent allow. Export the recording file after the call ends.

  2. 2

    Upload the file

    Drop the export here, get notes with speaker labels in minutes. Enable timestamps to tie every decision to a moment in the recording.

  3. 3

    Share what matters

    Edit, copy action items, export to your wiki or docs. Share only the sections your team needs, not the entire raw recording.

What you get

  • No meeting bot

    You bring the file, we don't join your calendar or record for you. Upload only what you choose, when you choose, with full control over sensitive call content.

  • Speaker labels

    See who said what in multi-participant calls. Rename labels to team member names for clearer meeting minutes and action item attribution.

  • Searchable library

    Sign in to search across saved meeting transcripts. Find past decisions, client commitments, and project discussions without digging through old recordings.

  • Export options

    TXT for docs, SRT/VTT when you need subtitles. Copy action items directly from the editor into your project management tools.

Guide

From recording to usable meeting notes

Not every team wants a live meeting bot joining Zoom. Sometimes you already have a recording, or you capture calls with consent, and just need clean text fast.

File Transcribe is a upload-first workspace: drop the file, get a transcript, edit it, and share the parts that matter.

Who uses this

  • Freelancers and consultants, Client call summaries and scope confirmations.
  • Small teams, Internal standups and planning sessions recorded for reference.
  • Remote workers, Async review of meetings you missed.

Features that help

  • Automatic speaker labels for multi-participant calls
  • Timestamps to reference moments in the recording
  • Search across saved transcripts in your dashboard
  • Export to TXT or subtitle formats for documentation

Not a meeting bot

File Transcribe does not auto-join calendars or record calls for you. You bring the file; we handle transcription and editing. That keeps the workflow simple and puts you in control of what gets uploaded.

Get started

Record your meeting (with participant consent where required), then upload the file. Try free without an account, or sign in to keep a searchable library.

FAQ

Common questions

Does File Transcribe join my Zoom calls?

No. This is upload-first, export your recording and upload the file. No bot joins your calendar, and you control exactly which meetings get transcribed.

Can it handle 5+ speakers?

Yes. Speaker detection works for multi-participant calls, review labels after upload and rename to team member names. Ask participants to avoid talking over each other for cleaner attribution.

Is recording meetings legal?

Always get participant consent where required by law and company policy. File Transcribe transcribes files you upload, it does not record calls on your behalf.

What recording formats work?

Zoom MP4/M4A exports, Teams recordings, Google Meet downloads, and phone call audio in MP3 or WAV. Most business conferencing platform exports work out of the box.

Can I extract action items from a meeting?

Yes. Search the transcript for 'action item,' 'follow up,' 'by Friday,' and assignee names. Copy timestamped sections into your task manager or team docs.

Is meeting transcription free to try?

Yes. Upload on this page within guest limits, no signup required. Sign in for a saved library, search across past meetings, and additional export formats.
