Notes vs. Transcripts
Gemini in Google Meet can automatically generate meeting notes and transcripts, making it easier to capture important discussions without having to write everything down manually.
Meeting notes and transcripts serve different purposes. Meeting notes provide a structured summary of the discussion, highlighting important topics, key decisions, action items, and next steps. A transcript, on the other hand, is a word-for-word record of everything said during the meeting, complete with timestamps that make it easy to locate specific moments in the conversation.
Enabling Note-Taking and Transcription
You can enable note-taking and transcription either before a scheduled meeting begins or while a meeting is already in progress. Before starting, you can choose the meeting language, decide whether to generate notes, transcripts, or both, and customize the level of detail included in the notes. You can also select which sections, such as summaries or action items, should be included in the final notes.
When meeting notes are enabled, all participants are informed that note-taking is active. After the meeting ends, Gemini processes the conversation and generates both the meeting notes and transcript, which can be accessed from the email sent after the meeting.
Reviewing Notes and Transcripts
The meeting notes provide a concise overview of the discussion and organise information into useful sections, while the transcript preserves the exact wording of the conversation, allowing you to review specific details whenever needed.
By automating note-taking and transcription, Gemini helps participants stay focused on the discussion while ensuring important information is accurately captured and easy to review later.
