# Meeting shorthand to free your hands

> Use DingTalk Docs AI Minutes to transcribe speech in real time during meetings, freeing your hands from note-taking and automatically building a complete record for post-meeting review and action tracking.

"Duoduozi, please take the **Meeting Minutes** for this meeting."

As an important way to review and summarize meetings and record to-do items,

**Meeting Minutes** are an indispensable part of every meeting.

Every professional has likely been overwhelmed by **Meeting Minutes** at some point.

Whether you take notes on a computer, phone, or with pen and paper, your typing speed can never keep up with the speaker's pace.

In the end, the minutes are either incomplete or disorganized,

and you still have to spend extra time and effort to tidy them up.

In fact, DingTalk Docs has long prepared a **"shorthand expert"—AI Minutes**—for everyone.

It not only frees your hands during meetings,

but also helps you quickly complete post-meeting reviews and notes.

Your work efficiency will improve significantly

**Take a look at the introduction below—it's truly a must-have tool for professionals!**

**Key feature you need:** **AI Minutes**

**Step-by-step tutorial:**

<Note>
  1. Create a new DingTalk Docs file (for meeting scenarios, we recommend the Team collaboration template from the DingTalk Docs template library!)

  2. After opening the document, click **Insert** in the top navigation bar, select **AI Minutes**, and click **"Start AI Minutes"** to begin recording. (You can also record multiple AI Minutes segments within a single document!)

  3. Once recording starts, AI Minutes can transcribe the audio into text in real time. After the meeting ends, you can view all transcribed content and replay the recording.

  4. Insert the text into the document as needed:

  \- Click **Transcript** on the right, select the text you want to insert into the document, **right-click**, and the transcribed content will be inserted into the document.

  After the meeting ends, a complete set of Meeting Minutes will be right in front of you. If there's anything you're unsure about, no problem—the original recording is fully preserved, allowing you to revisit it anytime and never miss a key point!
