A long transcript can be shortened: the "AI work on text" button ("AI tools" on mobile) makes minutes, notes or three key points, depending on the request you write. Choose the recording language using the button to the right of the start button. General supports an optional glossary; Speakers separates participants; Timestamps adds timing. Use “Aa” above the transcript to adjust text size, weight and font.
