How transcription works

Ad hoc meetings

Use an ad hoc recording when you are in a meeting that was not on your calendar, or when you want to capture a conversation manually.

table captures audio from your device and microphone, then processes it into a transcript and meeting summary.

• Quick calls
• In-person conversations
• Unscheduled meetings
• Follow-up conversations
• Meetings from tools not connected to your calendar

1. 1Open table.
2. 2Use the command menu or recording control.
3. 3Start recording.
4. 4Speak naturally during the meeting.
5. 5Stop recording when the meeting ends.

Meetings from your synced calendar

When Google Calendar is connected, table can use your calendar events to understand upcoming meetings. Calendar context helps table match recordings to the right event and people.

This makes the transcript more useful after the meeting, because it can connect the conversation to the right people in your network.

• Meeting title
• Time and date
• Attendees
• Meeting link
• Connected contacts
• Previous relationship context

What table captures

During transcription, table captures meeting audio locally from your device and microphone. The audio is sent securely for transcription and summarization.

• Transcript
• Summary
• Action items
• Participants
• Meeting notes
• Linked contacts
• Follow-up context

What happens after a meeting

After transcription finishes, table turns the meeting into relationship context.

• Review what was discussed
• Find action items
• Draft follow-up messages
• Update contact notes
• Ask table AI about the conversation later
• Remember the last touchpoint with a person

Consent and privacy

Before recording or transcribing a meeting, make sure participants know and consent where required.

table is designed to help you remember and follow through, not to record people secretly. Treat meeting transcription like any other meeting note-taking tool: be clear, respectful, and transparent.
