Three things Minutes Services is especially good at
AI transcription & speaker recognition
Every voice in the room is transcribed and matched to a speaker automatically, even across cross-talk and multiple microphones.
Motion & vote tracking
Motions, seconds, and the outcome of each vote are identified as they happen, so the final record is unambiguous.
Custom minutes templates
Provide your board's or municipality's minutes format - layout, section headers, fonts, level of detail, motions, and votes - and every set of minutes will follow it.
Meet Winston, your AI minute-taker
Have a meeting coming up? Send Winston to record it. It joins on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex, records the meeting, and your draft minutes start on their own when the meeting ends.
- Schedule from Outlook or a link. Pick meetings from your Outlook calendar, or paste a meeting link and choose now or a later time.
- Real names and attendance. Speakers are labeled with their names in the meeting, and the attendees list shows who was present, absent, or a guest.
- Visible and in your control. Winston appears as a named participant showing that it is recording. Nothing is recorded unless you turn it on, and you can cancel it before it joins.

Review and Confirm Speakers
Review the transcript next to the video and confirm who is speaking. Minutes Services suggests a name for each voice; correct the speakers and the change carries through the rest of the draft minutes.
