Welke velden zijn opgenomen in de vergadersamenvatting?
Elke vergadersamenvatting bevat een managementsamenvatting, actiepunten met verantwoordelijken en deadlines, beslissingen met wie ze heeft genomen, openstaande vragen, blokkades met wie ze heeft aangedragen, belangrijke citaten met tijdstempels en op onderwerp gebaseerde hoofdstukken. Het formaat is consistent voor alle vergaderingen.
Kan ik het samenvattingssjabloon aanpassen?
Het vergadersamenvattingssjabloon is gestandaardiseerd voor consistentie. U kunt elk veld na het genereren bewerken — sprekers hernoemen, actiepunten aanpassen, items toevoegen of verwijderen. De AI genereert de initiële structuur, u verfijnt deze.
Hoe extraheert de AI actiepunten?
De AI analyseert gesprekspatronen om toezeggingen, taakverdeling en deadlinevermeldingen te identificeren. Wanneer iemand zegt 'ik heb dat vrijdag af' of 'kun je het rapport naar het team sturen', legt de AI de taak, verantwoordelijke en deadline vast.
Werkt het met elk vergaderplatform?
NovaScribe werkt met Zoom, Google Meet en Microsoft Teams. Plak de vergaderlink en de bot neemt deel als deelnemer om de vergadering op te nemen en te transcriberen.
Hoe nauwkeurig zijn de geëxtraheerde actiepunten en beslissingen?
De nauwkeurigheid hangt af van hoe duidelijk actiepunten en beslissingen in de vergadering worden geformuleerd. Expliciete uitspraken zoals 'laten we voor optie A gaan' worden betrouwbaar vastgelegd. Impliciete of dubbelzinnige beslissingen kunnen worden gemist. U kunt de samenvatting na het genereren altijd bewerken.
Kan ik de samenvatting na het genereren bewerken?
De samenvatting opent in de ingebouwde editor van NovaScribe. U kunt elk veld wijzigen — actiepunten bewerken, sprekers hernoemen, context toevoegen, irrelevante items verwijderen. Exporteer de definitieve versie als TXT of DOCX.
Welke samenvattingstypes zijn beschikbaar?
NovaScribe biedt 6 samenvattingstypes: vergadering (actiepunten, beslissingen, blokkades), algemeen (onderwerpen, kernpunten), verkoopgesprek (klantbehoeften, bezwaren, vervolgstappen), interview (sterke punten, zorgen, beoordeling), lezing (kernconcepten, terminologie) en podcast (discussiepunten, aanbevelingen). Vergadersamenvattingen gebruiken standaard het vergadertype.
Hoeveel kost vergadertranscriptie?
Vergadertranscriptie gebruikt 3x reguliere credits. Een vergadering van 1 uur kost ongeveer $0.90. Abonnementen beginnen bij $2/month voor 200 minuten. Een vergadering van 30 minuten kost ongeveer $0.45.
