AI voice transcription

Odoo AI can transcribe spoken audio into text and generate summaries from that transcript. This feature supports both meeting recordings and real-time dictation, making it easier to capture notes, decisions, and action items without manual typing.

Voice transcription converts spoken audio into a written transcript. Once a transcript is available, Odoo AI can generate a summary that highlights key information, such as:

  • key discussion points

  • decisions

  • action items

  • next steps

Transcription and summarization can be used for meetings, calls, quick dictations, and internal notes.

Nota

Voice transcripts can be created in the Description and Notes fields of most records, as well as in Knowledge articles.

The powerbox in the description tab of a task in the Projects app.

Voice transcription works by temporarily recording audio during the session, replaying it for transcription, and generating a written transcript and summary. Once the transcription process is complete, the audio recording is automatically discarded. The recorded audio is not stored, replayable, or accessible from the database.

Importante

Clicking Start Recording may cause a pop-up in the browser, requesting access to a microphone. If permission is not given, the recording stops, and an error message appears. To combat this error, refresh the page and allow Odoo access to the microphone.

When the meeting has ended, click Stop Recording. The recorded audio is then processed to generate a transcript and an AI summary. Once processing is complete, the audio recording is automatically discarded, leaving only the transcript and summary available.
