2020 brought us many gifts, but for so many the lasting gift is video calls. We had them before 2020 but they’re very normal to have today. So when I found this new tool that records, transcribes, and then summarises your video calls I was coloured curious.
TL;DV is the name of the app, a play on the TL;DR meme of writing. TL;DR means “too long, didn’t read”.
You simply sign up for an account and install the software which integrates with Zoom, Google Meet, and soon Microsoft Teams, and when you’re on a call you press the TL;DV button and it invites itself to the call as well.
Not long after the video call you get an email like this:
The software also pulls out what it believes to be important or noteworthy clips which lets you download the video and audio to share in a post.
So even if you don’t use the clips feature, the entire call is there, recorded and transcribed, which means while you’re on the call you have to take fewer notes and you can be more present in the call.
Enjoy!
I can see this being a really helpful tool for meetings with couples. As you end each meeting you can add the summaries to your notes and help you refer back to issues any of you brought up in the meeting.
