FAQ
How to Write Meeting Minutes - FAQ
What can I record with AI Note Taker?
Anything that plays audio in a Chrome tab - Google Meet, Zoom in the browser, Microsoft Teams, YouTube, webinars, podcasts, or any other web page. You can also record your microphone alone, or capture both mic and tab audio together for calls.
Can I upload an existing audio file instead of recording?
Yes. Upload MP3, M4A, WAV, WEBM, or OGG files directly - up to 100 MB per file. Useful when you already have a recording from another device or tool.
Is there a time limit on recordings?
No. There is no cap on how long a single recording or uploaded file can be.
How long does transcription take?
Usually a couple of minutes after you start processing - depending on the length of the audio. When it is done, you get the full transcript and timestamp breakdown.
What languages are supported?
20+ languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and more. Pick the spoken language before you transcribe.
Can AI answer questions about my meeting?
Yes. After transcription, use the built-in AI chat to ask anything about the recording - summaries, action items, key decisions, or specific topics that came up. The AI works from the full transcript context.
What is the difference between meeting minutes and meeting notes?
Meeting notes are informal and personal. Meeting minutes are a structured record meant to be shared - covering what was discussed, decided, and who owns each follow-up. AI Note Taker gives you the raw transcript plus AI help to shape it into proper minutes.
Does a bot join my video call?
No. AI Note Taker is a Chrome extension that records from your browser tab. Nothing joins the call as a participant - you capture audio locally from the tab you choose.
Can I share the transcript with people who were not on the call?
Yes. Generate a share link so others can read the transcript and browse timestamps. AI chat remains available on your own account.
Where are my recordings stored?
In your AI Note Taker account on theainotetaker.com. Each session includes the audio, transcript, timestamps, and AI chat history - accessible anytime from your workspace.
