Already have a recording? Upload it and Notulist transcribes it like any other meeting.

Upload in the web app

  1. On Home, click Upload a recording (or Upload in the compact header). You can also drag a file anywhere onto the web app.
  2. Drop an audio or video file, or click to choose one.
  3. Check the Title. Optionally set the Language.
  4. Click Upload & transcribe.

You see the upload’s progress. When it’s done, the meeting opens and shows how far the transcription is.

Upload on your phone

In the iPhone or Android app, tap Upload file on the Record or Meetings tab, choose an audio or video file, check the Title and Language and tap Upload.

You can also send a file to Notulist from another app:

  • iPhone: share a voice memo, a WhatsApp voice message or a video, for example from Voice Memos, WhatsApp, Photos or Files, and choose Notulist in the share sheet.
  • Android: share an audio file, such as a voice message or a call recording, and choose Notulist.

Notulist then opens with the upload screen for that file. Share one file at a time.

Which files work

  • Audio: MP3, M4A, WAV, WebM, AAC, FLAC, OGG, Opus and more.
  • Video: of MP4, MOV, M4V, 3GP, MKV and WebM videos, the web app takes out the sound and uploads only that. Other video files are uploaded whole.

Limits

  • 2 GB per file. For a video whose sound is taken out, the limit applies to the sound, not to the whole video.
  • 3 hours per meeting. A longer file is refused once it’s uploaded: split it into parts and upload them separately.
  • One file at a time.
  • Audio allowance: uploads count towards your audio allowance, or the hours of your trial. See Plans, the trial and your audio allowance.

If an upload is refused

  • “This file type isn’t supported”: choose an audio or video file.
  • “This video has no sound”: the file contains no audio to transcribe.
  • “The file is larger than 2 GB”: split it into smaller parts.
  • “This file is longer than 3 hours” (on the meeting, after uploading): split it into parts of at most 3 hours.

Upload stuck or the meeting failed afterwards? See A recording or upload failed or got stuck.
