// How it works

How to summarize any recording

01
Upload the recording A meeting, a lecture, a podcast, a 3-hour webinar — MP3, MP4, M4A, WAV, MOV all work.
02
Pick a template Meeting minutes, lecture notes, a to-do checklist, or chapters — the summary is shaped for how you'll use it.
03
Read it in a minute Decisions, action items, owners, and key points — copy the markdown or export it with the transcript.

An hour-long meeting produces about 9,000 words of talk and usually three decisions, five action items, and one deadline that actually matter. An AI summarizer exists to find those, and Vocce's is built for the messy reality: it takes the recording itself — not a transcript you're supposed to already have — cleans the audio, transcribes it on our own GPUs, and only then summarizes.

The template matters more than people expect, because a summary is only useful in the shape you'll read it. Meeting minutes pulls topics, decisions, and to-dos with owners where they're stated. Lecture notes keeps concepts and explanations. To-do list extracts every actionable item as a checkbox list. Chapters splits long recordings into titled sections with one-line synopses — perfect for podcasts and webinars.

Everything arrives as clean markdown next to the full timestamped transcript, so when a summary line makes you go "wait, who said that?", the source is one scroll away. That pairing — summary for speed, transcript for trust — is the difference between a tool you check and a tool you rely on.

It works in 100+ languages and answers in the language of the recording. The first minutes of any file are free to try, no signup, and a failed job never costs anything.

A summarizer built for recordings, not just text

Recording in, summary out

No separate transcription step. Upload audio or video; cleaning, transcription, and summarization run as one pipeline.

Four purpose-built templates

Meeting minutes, lecture notes, to-dos, chapters — each shaped for a real workflow, not one generic blob of prose.

Decisions and owners

The meeting template hunts specifically for what was decided, who owns it, and when it's due.

Checkbox to-dos

The to-do template outputs markdown checkboxes you can paste straight into your task tracker and start ticking.

Chapters for long audio

Webinars and podcasts split into titled sections with a one-line synopsis each — instant show notes.

Transcript included

The full timestamped transcript rides along, so every summary claim can be verified against the source.

100+ languages

Summaries come back in the language of the recording — a Japanese standup produces Japanese minutes.

Noise-proofed first

Audio is loudness-leveled and denoised before transcription, so a laptop mic in a big room still summarizes cleanly.

Free preview

Try it on real files free, no signup. Failed jobs are never billed.

AI Summarizer, answered.

What is an AI summarizer? +

A tool that condenses long content into its useful core. Vocce's summarizer is recording-first: it takes audio and video directly, transcribes on its own GPU pipeline, and produces a summary shaped by the template you pick — minutes, notes, to-dos, or chapters.

What file types can I summarize? +

Audio: MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG. Video: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV. The audio track is extracted and transcribed automatically before summarization.

How accurate is the summary? +

The summary is only as good as the transcript, which is why we clean audio before transcribing on Whisper-class models. In our public tests the pipeline scores 0% word error on clear speech, and the summary keeps decisions, owners, and dates rather than paraphrasing them away.

Can it produce meeting minutes with action items? +

Yes — that's the default template. It extracts core topics, key decisions, and to-dos, attributing owners where the recording states them.

Does it work for lectures and courses? +

The lecture template keeps concepts, explanations, and important definitions — closer to study notes than corporate minutes. For flashcards or Cornell notes, see our AI Notes Generator and Auto Flashcards tools.

How long a recording can it handle? +

Hours-long recordings are routine — a 3-hour webinar transcribes in a few minutes on our GPUs. Extremely long transcripts are trimmed at roughly 40,000 characters per summarization pass.

Which languages are supported? +

100+ for transcription, and the summary is written in the recording's language. Mixed-language meetings summarize in the dominant language.

Do I get the transcript too? +

Yes — the full timestamped transcript is generated as part of the job, so you can verify any line of the summary against what was actually said.

Is it free? +

You can summarize your first recordings free, no signup. Ongoing use is covered by plans from $9.90/month, and failed jobs never count against your quota.
