Whisper runs on the phone
Transcription happens on the handset, not on our servers. On any plan, on every recording. There is no setting to get wrong and nothing to trust us about — the audio has nowhere to go.
Features/In the room
Put your phone face up in the middle and start recording. Minuted transcribes the room on the phone itself, writes up the minutes, and hands you the actions. The audio never goes anywhere.
Otter, Fireflies, Granola, Fathom — they join a Zoom, a Teams meeting, a Meet link. In a room there is no link to join. Their answer is to record on a laptop and upload the room to a server, which is the moment somebody at the table asks where that file is going, and the meeting stops being about the meeting.
Where that file goes is worth answering with their own words rather than ours: what leaves your device puts the four of them beside Minuted and Meetily, quoting each vendor’s security or privacy page.
One control. The phone widens its pickup for a table rather than a face, and everything after that happens on the handset.
Transcription happens on the handset, not on our servers. On any plan, on every recording. There is no setting to get wrong and nothing to trust us about — the audio has nowhere to go.
A client's basement, a site office, a train. Local mode records, transcribes and writes up with the radio off. Turn it on later and only text syncs.
One microphone is one channel, and we do not pretend otherwise: Minuted names the voices from what is actually said and from your attendee list, then lets you correct any of them by hand. Every cloud tool has the same single-channel problem in a room.
When the room remembers a commitment differently, every transcript line is a seek point. Play it, settle it, move on.
Templates for 1:1, standup, customer call, interview and retro — most of them meetings that happen in a room. Untitled ones name themselves from their content.
Push actions per-task or all at once, both directions. Tick one off in either app and the other updates. An “only my tasks” filter keeps everyone else's out of your list.
On a call the platform announces the recording. Around a table it is on you, and in the UK and EU that is not a formality. So Minuted ships guidance rather than a shrug: what to say before you press record, when one party's consent is enough and when it is not, and how to handle somebody saying no.
Local transcription and local write-ups are unlimited on every plan, free included — because they cost us nothing to run. The write-up needs a local model on the machine; that is the one bit of setup, and it is a download.
Cloud minutes are wall-clock audio sent for cloud processing. Anything done on the device is never metered, and never counted.
Minuted is built and it works. We would rather let a few hundred people in properly than a few thousand badly.
