Chinese meetings to text, and to English when you need it
Upload a recording or send a bot to Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. MinutesMaster writes a Chinese transcript with speaker names and 会议纪要 (meeting minutes) with decisions and tasks — then translates the minutes or the full transcript into English.

Mandarin meetings, minutes and translation in one place
A supplier call in Mandarin, a team meeting in Shanghai, an interview recorded on a phone: MinutesMaster turns the audio into a Chinese transcript with speakers separated by voice and structured minutes — attendees, agenda, summary, decisions, tasks with owners and the next meeting — with detailed narrative minutes alongside.
Chinese is written without spaces, and business meetings mix in English brand names, product codes and whole English sentences. Chinese is detected automatically and mixed-language meetings are supported, so there is nothing to set before processing. Characters are kept in the app and in the Word, TXT, JSON and subtitle exports.
The most common request is an English version: translate the minutes or the full transcript into English — or any of the 38 languages — and keep the Chinese original alongside to check names and numbers. Recordings are never used to train AI models.
王芳 (14:20) — 深圳工厂下个月的产能已经排满了，第二批订单需要推迟两周。
李明 (15:03) — 好的，我今天跟客户确认新的交货日期，然后把更新后的计划发给大家。
第二批订单的交货日期推迟两周。
李明 → 今天与客户确认新的交货日期，并发送更新后的计划
In English: the second batch is two weeks late because the Shenzhen factory is fully booked next month; Li Ming confirms the new delivery date with the client today and sends the updated plan.
How Chinese transcription works
From a recording or a call to minutes in Chinese and English.
- 1
Upload or send the bot
Upload audio or video up to 2 GB, record in the browser or the iPhone and Android app, paste a YouTube or Google Drive link, or send the bot to a Zoom, Teams or Google Meet call.
- 2
Calls on other platforms
The bot joins Zoom, Teams and Google Meet. For calls on other platforms, such as Tencent Meeting or DingTalk, upload the recording instead.
- 3
Check names and tasks
Rename each speaker once, in characters or in pinyin, and edit decisions and tasks before you share them.
- 4
Translate and export
Translate the minutes or the transcript into English, then export Word, TXT, JSON, or SRT and VTT subtitles.
What you get from a Chinese meeting
Chinese minutes, the full transcript and an English version from one recording.
Mandarin with English mixed in
English brand names, product codes and whole English sentences stay in the same transcript; there is no language to choose first.
Characters kept
Chinese characters are kept as transcribed in the app and in the DOCX, TXT, JSON, SRT and VTT exports.
Speakers separated by voice
Each voice gets its own label. With the bot, participant names from the call are matched to the voices; for uploads, rename each speaker once.
会议纪要 structure
Attendees, agenda, summary, decisions, tasks with owners and the next meeting, plus detailed narrative minutes.
Chinese to English, and back
Translate Chinese minutes into English, or an English meeting into Chinese for colleagues in China; the original stays alongside.
Subtitles for videos
SRT and VTT exports turn a Chinese talk, webinar or YouTube video into subtitles you can edit and publish.
Good to know for Chinese meetings
What teams working with Chinese partners ask about.
Supplier and factory calls
Decisions about dates, quantities and prices are listed separately from the discussion, and the full transcript is there to check the exact wording.
English next to the original
No copying into a separate translator: the English version of the minutes sits next to the Chinese original in the same meeting.
Other meeting apps
The bot joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet only. For other platforms, record or download the meeting and upload the file.
YouTube and video links
Paste a YouTube or Google Drive link to transcribe a Chinese talk or webinar without downloading it first.
Ask across meetings
Ask what was agreed with a supplier over the last quarter and get an answer with cited moments you can play.
Interface language
The web app is available in English and 13 European languages and the mobile apps in English, but not in Chinese; transcripts and minutes of Chinese meetings are in Chinese.
