How AI transcription works
Models like Whisper and Gemini chunk the audio, detect language, separate speakers (diarization) and output timestamped text. Modern accuracy exceeds 95% on clean audio.
Metrics that matter: WER and diarization
Word Error Rate measures wrong words per hundred. Professional tools deliver under 8% WER and separate at least 6 simultaneous speakers reliably in conference rooms.
From transcript to actual minutes
Transcripts are raw material. A tool like Quorade structures text into agenda items, identifies motions, extracts action items and outputs a sign-ready document.
Privacy and compliance
Verify the provider encrypts in transit and at rest, does not train on your audio, and lets you delete recordings. Quorade is GDPR-compliant and can wipe audio after processing.
