Introducing Sana’s new recap experience!
In real-time Sana automatically transcribes every word said and does the note-taking for you! At the end of the session, Sana summarizes it all and presents it in a way that's easy to understand, keeping all participants aligned and informed.
And the best part? All the information, outcomes, and knowledge from your sessions are now searchable and accessible to all participants, improving decision-making and closing knowledge gaps.
💡 The current version of this feature performs superior for English-speaking meetings
What's new?
Once a live session has ended, all users who attended the session have access to the new recap:
Transcriptions
Sana automatically transcribes the audio stream of each user during a session, organizing the data into timestamped and named written paragraphs. If you recorded the session, the transcription becomes an interactive tool and lets you click on a point in time when the words were spoken.
Additionally, as a facilitator you can choose to hide these transcriptions for all participants. They will then receive only the summary, simplifying the interface and focusing on concise information.
Smart Summary
Leveraging the transcription data Sana generates a meeting summary in real-time which can be accessed via the live summary button during the session or at the end of the session. Additionally, you have the ability to edit the summary.
Participant List
In the recap, you can see the list of participants directly, providing a clearer overview and enabling more effective follow-up interactions.
Video Recording
If you recorded the session then your video recording appears at the top of the recap.
Search
In conjunction with transcriptions you can conveniently retrieve knowledge and information from your previous sessions by searching for specific terms.
