Nothing to install: record live from the browser or upload an audio or video file. Pick one of the ready-made templates and the document is written.
See all demos and minutes templates in detail →What automatic minutes actually change
More than time saved on writing: every meeting or interview leaves a structured, dated, searchable record. Decisions are documented, action items come out with an owner and a deadline, and quality follow-up becomes routine rather than effort.
Documentation and traceability
Decisions, owners and deadlines recorded at every meeting, in the same format. Months later, the decision is found in seconds, with its context and reasoning.
Action items
As you leave a meeting or interview, decisions and tasks are already isolated: who does what, by when. Setting measurable goals and checking progress at the next meeting becomes simple.
Quality follow-up
Consistent minutes, meeting after meeting, feed your quality processes and audits without re-typing. Trends become readable and decisions rest on what was actually said and agreed.
Custom prompts
Your template, written with you, for your internal goals
A custom prompt costs CHF 1,500, three iterations included, and is free with an annual subscription of 50 hours per month or more. We start from your interview or meeting outline and the ideal document you want back, shared under a confidentiality agreement, or from a template already available on the platform that we adapt. You test, we refine: three iterations are normally enough.
Industry vocabulary, names of recurring participants, acronyms: enriched transcription, available to everyone with no commitment, already lets you record these details. They are applied automatically to the transcript and then to the minutes.
A dozen ready-to-use minutes formats
Choose the template that fits your need, export to Word and finalise your document. The lengths shown are orders of magnitude based on the average duration of each type of exchange. Every template is available to every user, with no subscription or Enterprise account, even for a single one-hour transcript. Up to three documents per transcript, available from sign-up to test on your own recordings.

“Swiss Transcript was born from a concrete need: my own. Since 2012, with Qualinsight, I have run qualitative studies and focus groups across Switzerland. Recordings went out for manual transcription: a week's wait, audio files circulating, NDAs to sign. My first profession taught me to listen to the field, and that is still what I do: we adjust the minutes with the people who use them until they become part of their daily work.” Esther Sève, co-founder

Swiss German, understood natively
60 % of our users work in German-speaking Switzerland. Their meetings are held in dialect, which is exactly why we select the open-source models that perform best on Swiss German.
Dialects recognised
Zurich, Bern, Basel, Lucerne, St. Gallen, Aargau and most others. The simplest way: test with your own recordings.
Models reassessed regularly
We compare Swiss German recognition models every 3 to 6 months and adopt the best one, without ever using your recordings.
Output in standard German
Your colleagues speak Swiss German, the text comes out in proper written German: transcript and minutes ready to review and share.
What's new on the platform
Enriched transcription, Teams meetings, large meetings, and soon the Enterprise API and live translation. Every new feature comes from a customer need: tell us about yours.
Enriched transcription
Industry vocabulary, proper names and acronyms created once, reused in every transcript. Named speakers, corrections in red next to the original text. Beta on desktop.
Online meetings
Paste the Teams meeting link into the platform: the bot joins, records and notifies participants. In beta since September 2026, improvements to come. Google Meet and Zoom will follow.
Large meetings
General assemblies, boards, committees: 2 to 3 additional microphones extend coverage beyond 6 participants. The quality of the minutes depends on the quality of the audio recording; we advise you on the equipment to plan for to optimise it.
Enterprise API
Connect transcription and minutes to your own tools, archives and approval workflows, with processing 100% in Switzerland.

They save time with Swiss Transcript
Health insurance
“As part of a pilot project within our Personalised Patient Support unit, Swiss Transcript helped us reduce the time spent on documentation after interviews while improving the structure and quality of the notes produced. We particularly appreciated the responsiveness and availability of the Swiss Transcript team, their understanding of our business processes, and their ability to adapt the solution to our operational, technical and data protection requirements.”
Health insurance · Personalised Patient Support pilot that became a lasting partnership.
Market research
“My job is to listen. I run qualitative interviews, in person and on video. Confidentiality is essential for us, especially on B2B studies with strategic stakes. With Swiss Transcript, we co-built our interview and focus group reports. Today they serve other clients too. For me, it's a real win-win.”
Municipality in German-speaking Switzerland
“Our meetings are held in dialect and follow a very precise structure: standard minutes did not meet our needs. Swiss Transcript understands the Swiss German spoken around the table, and the team created a custom template for us, adapted to how we want to find decisions and key points. The minutes come out in proper written German, ready for approval.”
Foundation
“Since we can name speakers in advance and add our own vocabulary, we clearly spend less time correcting transcripts. And since the August update, the minutes are also longer, more detailed and much closer to what we expect. What I like most about Swiss Transcript is that the tool really evolves: almost every three months there is a concrete improvement.”
