Transcribing meetings in Hebrew

You have a recording — a team meeting, a client call, a lecture, an interview — and you need it as text. Typing it yourself takes hours per hour of audio. With IvreetMeet it takes minutes: which file to upload, what to ask for, and what you get back.

Step 1: pick the file

  • Use the original. The recording as it was saved, with no need to convert it.
  • Audio-only is great. An M4A uploads much faster than a video, and the transcript is identical.
  • A track per participant, if you have it. Meeting tools that record each participant separately give the cleanest input of all.

Supported inputs: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG/OPUS, FLAC, AMR, 3GP, WMA, AIFF, CAF, and video: MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, AVI. Anything up to 4 GB.

Step 2: upload it

  1. 1Open a new meeting. From the dashboard, choose to upload a file, record straight from the browser, or send the assistant to a meeting.
  2. 2Drop the file in. The upload starts immediately.
  3. 3Say what you want from the summary. "Focus on pricing objections and what we promised to send" produces a sharper summary than the default. It costs one sentence.
  4. 4Close the tab if you like. Processing continues without you, and the meeting appears in your list when it is ready.

Step 3: read what comes back

WhatWhat it is for
TranscriptSearching, quoting, finding exactly what was said
SummarySending to people who were not there
Decisions and action itemsKnowing what happens next and who owns it

The transcript is split by speaker with timestamps, so every line takes you back to the moment in the audio. The summary is written from the full transcript, and you can ask for a new one with a different instruction without transcribing again.

Step 4: name the speakers once

A fresh transcript labels voices as Speaker 1, Speaker 2, and so on. Rename them once and the names run through the transcript and the summary. Organizations can also turn on recognition by voice, so a saved speaker is suggested by name in later meetings. More in speaker diarization, explained.

Step 5: share or export

Send the summary as a PDF over WhatsApp or email, share a view link with people who have no account, or export to Word and PowerPoint. On paid plans the studio lets you polish the document and add your logo before you export.

Tips for the best result

  • A close microphone. A phone in the middle of the table beats a laptop at the end of it.
  • One at a time. Every sentence keeps its speaker.
  • Names in the instructions. People, companies and products come out exactly right in the summary.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take?

Minutes for a normal meeting rather than hours. The transcript and the summary arrive in your account, and you can close the tab meanwhile.

Can IvreetMeet join the meeting for me?

Yes. Paste the Zoom (Pro plan), Google Meet or Teams link and the IvreetMeet assistant asks to join and records. Or record where you already meet — Zoom, Meet, Teams, a phone, a browser tab — and upload the file afterwards.

What if two people talk at once?

Each speaker is separated automatically. When people take turns, every sentence lands clearly with its speaker.

What does it cost?

The free plan covers 7 meetings and 120 minutes a month, with no credit card. Pro is ₪99 per month.
