AI summaries

Get action items, decisions, and key points extracted automatically after every call. Never write meeting notes again.

Three ways to do this

Three ways to record an in-person conversation

Recommended

SeaMeet browser recorder

Put your laptop on the table, open app.seameet.ai, record from the microphone. Live transcript with speaker labels while everyone talks normally.

Best for: Impromptu meetings — nothing to install or carry.

SeaMeet desktop app

Same mic capture, plus Flashback — hit record late and the previous 2 minutes of room audio are saved anyway. Survives a closed browser and syncs via Sync Pro.

Best for: Recurring in-person meetings and interviews.

See how →

Phone voice memo → import

Record with the phone's voice-memo app anywhere you can't open a laptop, then drop the file into your library for the same transcript and summary.

Best for: Site visits, walk-arounds, and field notes.

Method 2 · SeaMeet browser recorder

How to record an in-person meeting in your browser (no signup)

Runs in Chrome, Edge, or Safari on desktop. Free for the first 15 minutes — Sync Pro removes the cap. All you need is the laptop already on the table.

  1. 01

    Put the laptop where it can hear the room

    Middle of the table, lid open, away from the espresso machine and the AC vent. The built-in mic is enough for a normal meeting room; a USB conference mic helps on long tables.

  2. 02

    Open app.seameet.ai and choose the microphone

    Chrome, Edge, or Safari on desktop. Click Record and pick the microphone option — the browser asks for mic access once; allow it.

  3. 03

    Set the language — or Auto-detect for bilingual rooms

    Auto-detect handles rooms that switch between English and Mandarin, or Spanish and English. Declare a single language for monolingual meetings for a small accuracy bump.

  4. 04

    Talk normally; watch the transcript keep up

    Speaker labels are attributed best-effort from voice pattern — rename anyone the transcript mislabels right in the library afterwards.

  5. 05

    Stop when the conversation winds down

    The transcript, an AI summary, and action items land in your library — an in-person meeting gets the same afterlife as a video call.

Why SeaMeet

Why SeaMeet for the room, not just the call

  • No call, no bot — still a full meeting record

    Most meeting tools assume a video-call URL to join. An in-person conversation has no URL; SeaMeet's mic capture gives it the same transcript, speakers, and summary.

  • Speaker labels that you can correct

    Who said what is attributed best-effort from voice, then editable in the library. Rename people once and the record reads cleanly.

  • Summary and action items from a live room

    Decisions made across a table are the ones nobody writes down. The AI summary captures what was agreed and who took what action.

  • Local-first for sensitive rooms

    Off-site client conversations and HR-adjacent meetings stay on the machine — recording is local, nothing uploads while you talk.

Common questions

Recording in-person meetings — questions & answers

Do I need everyone's consent to record an in-person meeting? +
In many places, yes — all-party consent jurisdictions require every participant to know and agree, and workplace policy often demands it everywhere else. Say it at the top: "I'm recording notes for this." Consent up front is both the legal baseline and the reason nobody wonders later.
Which microphone should I use? +
The laptop's built-in mic handles a small meeting room fine. For long tables or noisy spaces, a USB conference mic or a headset mic meaningfully improves transcript accuracy — the quieter and closer the mic, the better the text.
How many speakers can it separate? +
There's no hard cap — attribution is best-effort from voice pattern, works better when voices are distinct and people aren't talking over each other, and mislabels are one rename away from fixed in the library.
How long can it record? +
The free tier transcribes the first 15 minutes; Sync Pro ($12.99/mo annual) unlocks unlimited length plus cloud sync and 250 GB storage for the recordings.
What if I forget to hit record? +
In the desktop app, Flashback has your back: the moment you do hit record, the previous 2 minutes of room audio are saved retroactively. The browser recorder can't do that — it only hears from Start onward.
Can I record a lecture or talk I'm attending? +
Ask the speaker first — many presenters are fine with personal-study recordings, some decline for copyright or privacy reasons, and venue rules occasionally decide for everyone. With a yes, the laptop-mic flow works unchanged from the audience.

Recording in your browser

No detection and nothing to install — SeaMeet uses your laptop's microphone straight from the browser. Allow the mic once, put the laptop on the table, and the conversation in the room is transcribed live with speaker labels.

Why SeaMeet?

For a face-to-face meeting there's no call for a bot to join and no system audio to capture — just the room. SeaMeet records the microphone in the browser and turns it into a transcript with speakers and an AI summary, so in-person conversations get the same treatment as video calls.
