You start transcription

Build the archive from folders you choose.

Import a meeting folder or a parent folder containing recordings from Zoom, Meet, Teams, Screen Studio, or another app.

01

Choose a folder

MinuteFile detects meetings and their audio, video, caption, and chat files.

02

Control the inbox

Watched folders are optional. While MinuteFile runs, completed recordings appear after their files stop changing.

03

Transcribe when ready

Choose one recording or a batch. MinuteFile waits for you to start local transcription.

04

Save, search, and export

Correct transcript text and speaker labels, search old meetings, and export a copy when you need it.

A different starting point

MinuteFile starts after the recording is on your Mac.

Live AI notetakers are built for capture during meetings and AI-generated notes. MinuteFile is for the recording folders you already have.

Use MinuteFile to transcribe locally, correct transcript text and speaker labels, find a passage later, and keep an archive you can export.

See the archive and transcript workspace.

MinuteFile keeps each recording, source file, transcription status, and saved transcript together. Open any meeting to edit transcript text and speaker names, review timestamps, and export a copy.

Open the included sample before choosing a private recording.

MinuteFile includes a small synthetic meeting with a ready-made transcript. Open it immediately to try archive search, speaker repair, timestamps, and export. It does not download a model, transcribe audio, or use one of your three trial transcriptions.

Try the complete workflow on three recordings.

No purchase is required for your first three transcriptions. After the trial, every transcript you already made remains readable, editable, searchable, shareable, and exportable. Further transcription or retranscription requires a MinuteFile license, purchased upfront for US$39.

A transcript workspace, not a disposable text dump.
