Transcription speed

An hour of audio should not cost you an hour of waiting. With IvreetMeet an hour-long meeting normally comes back within minutes, with a full transcript by speaker, a summary, decisions and action items. A two-hour recording does not take twice as long. Here is what you get, and what helps you get it even faster.

What you get, and when

  • A transcript in minutes. Every word, with a timestamp on every sentence, shortly after the upload.
  • Speakers at the same time. Speaker separation arrives with the transcript, with no extra wait.
  • The summary right after. Key points, decisions and action items, written from the full transcript.
  • Live progress. You see where the meeting stands until everything is ready, and you can close the tab meanwhile.

What affects your wait

FactorWhat to know
File sizeUpload time, not processing time: audio (M4A) uploads much faster than video. Up to 4 GB either way.
Length of the recordingMuch less than you would expect: two hours do not take twice as long as one.
The summaryA short step after the transcript; re-summarising later does not transcribe again.
Your planPro processes up to 5 meetings at once in a fast queue, Business up to 20.

Fast, without trading accuracy

Speed never comes at the expense of the text: the model is chosen for accuracy on real meetings. More about it in the Hebrew model behind IvreetMeet.

Try it with a long one

The free plan covers 7 meetings and 120 minutes per organization per month. A single long recording is the best test.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an hour-long meeting take?

Usually a few minutes, speakers and summary included.

Does a two-hour recording take twice as long as one hour?

No. Long recordings come back at almost the same pace, so doubling the length does not double the wait.

Can I make it faster?

Upload audio rather than video when you have the choice: the transcript is identical and the upload is a fraction of the size.

Can I upload several recordings at once?

Yes. On the free plan they are processed one after another; Pro runs up to 5 at once and Business up to 20.
