Any tips for taking meeting notes specifically?
* important points
* questions to ask, either during the meeting or afterwards. If it gets answered during the meeting, I put the answer under 'important points' and cross out the question.
* things for you to do after the meeting
* any commitments others take on which you want to keep track of
I do this by entering them on different areas of the page, others use different symbols at the beggining of the line (?, !, *, @).
As soon as I finish the meeting, I share the notes with everybody.
If you don't have a dedicated assistant, set up a rotation with your team to scribe for each other.
Only jot down a few brief personal notes for yourself.
Is there a good description/explanation of this?
Radical transparency by giving everybody access to this interface.
Awesome bullshit filter.
You had me here. Companies that do this as a matter of course on their key production lines usually become very, very productive.
Its not to catch worker ethics lapses; its to give the team the ability to understand the causes of their exhaustion, and optimise.
Anyway, done properly, meeting notes and general distribution can give individual members of a group a lot more agency over their participation in that group.
I honestly love this idea. Any suggestions on what FOSS tooling to use for said speech-to-text that's reasonably accurate? Or is training the ML the "heavy lift" of this setup?
Neat idea, do you know of any software that's capable of taking an audio file and producing multi-user text from it? Seems like it would be useful in a wide variety of situations.
Some of that only comes across when you actually use it - when you clean up the transcription immediately after the meeting or the next day. Clicking a mistake word to edit it snaps the video and audio to that point, so its super intuitive to "scrub" through the video just by clicking around the text transcription. Very fast, very natural, very low effort.
I can only imagine how much it will be improved if it used google's newest multi-speaker transcription models. It always had some trouble whenever people started talking at the same time.
That doesn't mean I was willing to pay $60/mo/pp though, and ended up not.
However, I still think it's the best product in its category right now and given the disappointing state of product design these days, I don't expect anyone to catch up to its interface. I'd love if an open-source group did though.
On top of this you can add 5000 names for company specific entity recognition for product, people, brand names etc.
120 different languages are supported.
If such a speech-to-text, multi conversation system existed then the field of court reporting/closed captioning would have a real shake up.

As a meeting secretary, you can use a similar process but you have to be mindful and listen actively since you're tracking info for more than you.
