How notes are made

From recording to notes

When you stop, meaty:

1. Transcribes the whole recording, telling speakers apart.
2. Writes the notes: a short title, a one-line description, the summary, action items with owners and due dates, names for the speakers, and the meeting type.
3. Finishes in the background: matches the meeting to your calendar, applies a template, and sends it to any integrations set to send automatically.

Which providers do the transcription and writing is listed in the privacy policy.

What a meeting holds

Tab	Contents
Summary	The notes, shaped by the template
Actions	Action items — see Tasks
Transcript	Everything said, by speaker
Chat	Ask questions about the meeting

On a computer there's also a Notes pad for your own notes, which stay private to you.

Templates

A template decides the shape of the summary: a sentence of context plus up to twelve sections. meaty comes with ten — among them Client consultation, Coaching session, Lesson, 1:1 / check-in, Intake interview, Job interview, Daily stand-up and Team sync.

• Choosing one before recording: the template chip on the phone, in the Chrome extension, or on the desktop app's floating recorder.
• Left alone, meaty uses the template from the last meeting in the same series, or picks one that fits.
• Changing it afterwards (web and desktop app): apply another template and the summary is rewritten from the transcript. No re-recording.
• Your own templates: duplicate one of meaty's and edit the copy — meaty's own can't be edited.

Templates shape the summary only. Action items are always extracted the same way.

Correcting the notes

• Speak a correction — say what's wrong, for the whole meeting or just the action items, and meaty rewrites them.
• Rename the title and change the meeting type.
• Fix a misheard word everywhere in the meeting at once.
• Fix speakers — see Speakers and people.

The summary can't be typed into directly; spoken corrections and templates are how it changes.
