Transcript to Action Items
Paste a meeting transcript or your notes, or drop the file from Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, and get the action items as a list: the task, who owns it and the due date when someone said one. Your first list is free with no account, for about an hour of speech, and comes with the summary and a follow-up email of the same meeting.
First run free, no account: up to 60,000 characters (~1 hour) · MeetWave doesn't store the text you paste. It is sent to our AI processing provider only to write your notes, isn't used to train models, and isn't kept by MeetWave after the answer arrives.
Want this without exporting files? MeetWave records the call itself — no bot.

What You Get: an Example
Input — a Zoom transcript after conversion, 22 minutes (shortened here)
Maya Ortiz: We still need the pricing page signed off before we announce.
Daniel Kim: Legal can review it by Thursday if I send it today.
Maya Ortiz: Great. Sam, can you get the customer emails drafted?
Sam Patel: Sure, I'll have a draft by Monday. Someone should update the FAQ too.
Output — the action items
| Owner | Task | Due |
|---|---|---|
| Daniel Kim | Send the pricing page to legal for review | Today; review by Thursday |
| Sam Patel | Draft the customer announcement emails | Monday |
| — | Update the FAQ | — |
A task nobody took stays in the list without an owner, so it is not lost.
How It Works
Paste the transcript or drop the file
A Zoom .vtt, a Teams or Google Docs .docx, a .txt or .md, or notes you typed during the call. Subtitle timestamps are removed in your browser before the text is sent.
Extract the action items
The notes are written on screen in a few seconds: task, owner and due date where the meeting named one. Tasks without an owner are kept and marked.
Copy it or track it
Copy the list into an email or your task tool. To assign and tick tasks off, the free action items tracker on this site has the same columns.
Keep the rest of the notes
The same run writes the summary, the decisions and a follow-up email. Save the meeting to a free account to keep them with your next meetings.
Why Use It
- Owners and due dates taken from what people actually said
- Tasks without an owner kept and marked, not silently dropped
- Reads Zoom, Teams and Google Meet transcripts as they come
- The whole list copied as text in one click
- First list free with no account, for about an hour of speech
