Real-time summary

Real-time Summary turns meaningful parts of live speech into short points inside Ask JotMe. It updates while your meeting or event is running, so you can catch up without rereading the full transcript.

Turn it on#

1. Start note-taking or live translation for a meeting or event.
2. In the live window, turn on Real-time Summary in the Ask JotMe bar. You do not need to open Ask JotMe first; turning the switch on opens the panel automatically.

The setting is remembered when you reopen the desktop app. Real-time Summary can run with live translation turned off; JotMe still uses the live transcript to create the summary points.

Choose the summary language#

Summary output uses your selected Translation language. Select the language you want in the language control; new summary points are written in that language.

What becomes a summary point#

JotMe's AI creates a summary point when it finds information that is important and the thought is complete. It does not create a point after every sentence. It normally leaves out acknowledgements, filler, incomplete fragments, and content that was just repeated.

Turning the switch off stops new summary points without stopping the recording.

Open a point for context#

Click a summary point to generate a concise explanation using the meeting or event transcript. Click it again to collapse the explanation. Each generated explanation uses 1 AI credit.

Minutes and history#

Time with Real-time Summary turned on uses your live translation / real-time summary minutes. If live translation is also on, the same active period is not charged twice. The summary points are saved in the Ask JotMe chat history for that meeting or event.
