Where meeting recordings come from

Three common sources. Built-in recording in your video conferencing app: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams all let the host record locally; the file ends up as MP4/WebM/M4A on your machine. Phone or laptop recording in an in-person meeting: drop a phone in the middle of the conference table, hit Record, end the meeting, transfer the M4A. Screen-recorder audio: if you record your screen for a remote demo or workshop, the audio track is what MDisBetter cares about. All of these become input for the same transcription pipeline; no special handling required.

What the structured Markdown adds vs raw transcription

A raw transcript is a wall of text. The Markdown output organises it into sections — typically Attendees (speaker labels positionally), Topics discussed (sections at topic shifts), and Action items when the conversation includes decisions or assignments. Each speaker turn is labelled (**Speaker 1:**) and timestamped ([HH:MM:SS]) so you can jump back to the audio for any passage. For meetings where slides were shared, also run the deck through PDF to Markdown and combine — you get a single canonical record of "what was said and what was shown".

Honest scope: what this isn't

MDisBetter is a one-off audio-to-Markdown converter. It is not a real-time meeting bot (no auto-join your calendar), not a CRM-integrated note-taker (no auto-push to Salesforce/Hubspot), not a team-collaboration platform (no shared workspace, comment threads, or task assignment). For those, look at Otter.ai, Fireflies, Granola, etc. MDisBetter is the right choice when you want a clean structured transcript without inviting a third-party service into your meetings or paying for features you won't use.
