What good minutes include, and what Scribe produces
Meeting details: what the meeting was about and when it happened. Recordings are linked to your calendar timeline.
Discussion by topic: a short account of each topic, not a word-for-word transcript.
Decisions: what was agreed, written clearly enough to stand on its own.
Action items: who will do what. Scribe pulls these into a separate checklist.
A record to check against: the speaker-labelled transcript is always one tap away if someone asks “did we really agree that?”
Tips for accurate minutes
Tell attendees you’re recording, and get consent where your organisation requires it.
Put the phone in the middle of the table, away from laptop fans and cups.
At the end, say the decisions and owners out loud (“So, Sarah owns the budget by Friday”). It makes action items clearer for people and for the AI.
Read the minutes before sending them. AI-generated minutes are a draft, and the chair should approve them.
What Scribe does
Speaker-labelled transcripts: Every recording becomes a transcript that shows who said what.
AI summaries: A short summary of the conversation as soon as you stop recording.
Action items: Tasks and owners pulled out of the conversation into a checklist.
Meeting minutes: Structured minutes organised by topic, ready to share.
Ask Scribe: Ask questions about a recording, like “What did James say about the timeline?”
Folders & calendar timeline: Organise recordings in folders and see them linked to the meetings on your calendar.
Pro Live: Live Copilot: Real-time live transcription while the meeting is happening, plus Question Radar talking points when someone asks you a question.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI write meeting minutes?
Yes. Scribe turns a recording into structured minutes, decisions and action items. Treat AI minutes as a draft for the chair or organiser to check before they’re circulated.
Does Scribe work for board or committee meetings?
Scribe produces structured minutes by topic with decisions and actions, which is a good starting point for formal minutes. Your organisation may have its own template and approval process, so check the draft against those.
Do I need to tell people I’m recording?
Yes. Tell participants and follow your organisation’s policy and data protection obligations (such as UK GDPR) before recording.
How do I share the minutes?
Share or export them from the app, by email, messages or any app on your iPhone.
Stop taking notes. Start listening.
