From recording to minutes in three steps
Taking minutes during a meeting means half participating, half typing. With a recording and Murmel you do it afterwards, in a fraction of the time:
- 1. Record the meeting, or let Murmel join. Meeting in Google Meet or Teams? Paste the meeting link into Murmel and the digital minute-taker joins live. Other recordings (a voice recorder on the table, your phone, a Zoom download) can be uploaded as a file: any audio or video format works (mp3, m4a, wav, mp4).
- 2. Upload to Murmel. The transcript is ready within minutes, with a label per speaker so you can see who said what.
- 3. Turn it into minutes. Walk through the transcript in the editor, mark decisions and action items, and export to Word.
Your minutes become a record of what was actually said, instead of a reconstruction from keywords.
New: Murmel takes notes live in Google Meet and Teams
No more downloading and uploading. Paste the link of your Google Meet or Teams meeting into Murmel and the digital minute-taker joins under the name "Murmel.nl transcriptie". Admit that participant from the lobby, run your meeting as usual, and afterwards the full transcript with speaker labels is waiting for you. You can also schedule ahead: the minute-taker shows up as soon as the meeting starts.
Speaker identification and jargon
In meetings with multiple participants, Murmel automatically labels each speaking turn. Recurring names, project names and abbreviations can be added to your custom vocabulary so they are spelled correctly in every meeting. The model is specifically trained on Dutch speech, which makes it robust to accents and colloquial language.
Suitable for sensitive meetings
Meetings regularly cover staff, clients or strategy. Sending that audio to a random free tool often means the recording travels to servers outside the EU. Murmel processes everything on servers in the Netherlands, automatically deletes recordings and transcripts after 7 days, and does not use your data for AI training unless you explicitly opt in. That makes it defensible to your employer, data protection officer or client.
What does it cost?
If you meet regularly, start Murmel with 50% off your first month. The Basic plan costs €9 per month (excl. VAT) for 12 hours of audio per month: enough for about fifteen 45-minute meetings. Cancel monthly.
Only take minutes occasionally? Then prepaid credits from €5 are an alternative without a subscription: €1 equals 50 minutes of audio (excl. VAT).
