How to use the Coaching Transcribe and Summarise Feature?
This article provides you information on what is "Coaching Transcribe and Summarise" feature, how does it help and how to use it.
WHAT IS COACHING TRANSCRIBE AND SUMMARISE?
Coaching Transcribe & Summarise feature records coaching and development conversations and turns them into an accurate written record automatically. This feature provides you 2 options :
-
Upload Transcript: Upload an existing transcript from a completed Zoom or Teams meeting. The AI will use the transcript to generate a summary and coaching insights.
-
Start Session: Record the coaching session live. The AI will transcribe the conversation in real time and automatically generate a summary and coaching insights.
Key discussion points, agreed actions and outcomes are captured in a structured summary, so leaders stay present in the conversation instead of taking notes.
Summaries flow straight into the coaching record, improving quality, consistency and follow-through at scale.
