AI meeting transcription that knows who said what.
steer records the meeting from your computer, transcribes it live with speakers identified, and files a searchable transcript and summary when the conversation ends. No bot joins the call.
AI meeting transcription converts the speech in a meeting into written text, usually with each speaker labelled. steer transcribes while the meeting is happening, using the audio from your computer’s microphone and speakers, then keeps the full transcript beside an AI meeting summary so you can check exactly what was said.
AI meeting transcription example: an onboarding review.
During a 40-minute customer onboarding review held in a browser call, steer transcribes the conversation as it happens and labels Sam and Elena by voice. When the call ends, the record holds the full transcript, a summary grouped by topic, and two action items. Two weeks later, a search for “migration date” opens the exact exchange.
A meeting recorder that produces text, not a video file.
People looking for a meeting recorder usually want one of two things: a file to replay, or a way to stop taking notes. steer serves the second. It records the audio that reaches your computer and turns it into a transcript and a summary, which are faster to search and quote than an hour of playback. If your team needs the video itself, keep using your meeting app’s recording and let steer handle the written record.
Record and transcribe meetings wherever they happen.
Because capture happens on your computer, you can record and transcribe meetings in a browser call, a desktop meeting app, or a room with people in it. Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams are common examples, not a compatibility list. There is no calendar invite to forward and no meeting link to paste.
From meeting transcript to AI meeting summary.
A meeting transcript is complete but long. The AI meeting summary groups the discussion by topic and pulls out decisions, risks, owners, deadlines, and unresolved questions, with the transcript one step behind it. When you compare one meeting transcription app with another, check that the summary links back to the words it came from. A summary you cannot verify is little help in a disagreement.
A transcript and summary, ready to check
Illustrative output using fictional project details; this is not a customer result or a live run.
Elena: “We can’t commit to the migration date until the data export is verified.” Sam: “I’ll confirm the export by Thursday.”
Summary
Migration date not yet committed; it depends on verifying the data export. Sam owns the verification.
Action items
Sam: confirm the data export by Thursday. Elena: propose a migration date once it is confirmed.
Review note
The speaker labels and the Thursday deadline come from the transcript. Check the excerpt before quoting it.
Where the transcript goes next.
This is one workflow across steer, not a bundle of disconnected products. Each feature owns a specific stage and keeps its own access boundary.
The transcript is part of the meeting record
The AI meeting notes capability produces the transcript, the summary, and the action items together, so the summary can always be checked against the words behind it.
Search the transcript later
AI meeting memory searches saved summaries and transcript content by topic, person, project, or phrase, then opens the relevant meeting for detail.
Transcribe audio outside a meeting
The voice capability covers spoken requests, supported voice messages, and audio or video files prepared for processing. It is a separate path from live meeting capture.
How steer records and transcribes a meeting.
The handoff stays inspectable from source to result. Every stage names what it received, what changed, and what needs review.
Start capture on your computer
steer records the microphone and the system audio, which is how it hears both you and the other participants. Nothing joins the call, so there is no recorder to admit.
Transcribe while people talk
The live transcript appears during the meeting. A noise filter is available for rooms and calls with background sound.
Identify the speakers
Speaker profiles help steer recognize familiar voices and label them by name. Voices are separated in the transcript, so it shows where one person stops and another starts.
Close the record
When the meeting ends, steer files the full speaker transcript and a summary that pulls out decisions, owners, deadlines, and open questions.
Check the summary against the transcript
A summary is a first view. When wording, numbers, or attribution matter, open the transcript at the relevant point and read what was actually said.
Connected work still needs accurate sources, explicit destinations, and review where an action changes another person’s system.
Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, crosstalk, and vocabulary. Treat names, numbers, and technical terms as things to verify.
Speaker labels can be wrong, especially for voices steer has not heard before.
steer does not record video. This page describes the transcript and summary it produces; if you need a video file of the call, use your meeting app’s own recording.
Recording and transcribing a conversation can require consent from everyone in it. Tell participants before you start.
Put the transcript to work.
Move to the stage before or after this one without losing the feature owners or the source trail.
AI meeting transcription turns the speech in a meeting into written text automatically, usually with speakers labelled. steer transcribes live and keeps the transcript with a summary, so the record is ready when the meeting ends.
Can steer record and transcribe meetings without a bot?
Yes. steer captures the audio from your computer’s microphone and speakers, so no bot or extra participant joins the call.
Does the meeting transcript identify speakers?
Yes. steer separates voices so the transcript records who said what, and speaker profiles help label familiar voices by name. Review the transcript when attribution matters.
Is steer a meeting recorder?
steer records meeting audio from your computer in order to produce a transcript and a summary. It does not record video or add a recorder to the call. If what you need is a written, searchable record of who said what, that is what it produces.
Does it work with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams?
Those are examples, not limits. Because steer listens through your computer, it can also cover other browser calls, desktop meeting apps, and conversations in the room.
Can I search a meeting transcript afterward?
Yes. Summaries and transcripts become searchable by topic, person, project, decision, or phrase through AI meeting memory.
Does it create an AI meeting summary as well as a transcript?
Yes. When the meeting ends, steer files a summary grouped by topic with decisions, owners, deadlines, and open questions, alongside the full speaker transcript.
Can it transcribe a recording I already have?
Live meeting capture and file transcription are different paths. The voice capability handles audio or video files prepared for processing; that page explains what is supported.
