From a Estonian recording to text and minutes
Typing up a recording by hand takes hours. MinutesMaster transcribes Estonian speech, separates the speakers by voice and adds timestamps, then writes structured minutes: summary, agenda, decisions, tasks with owners and the next meeting. Õ, ä, ö, ü, š and ž are kept in the transcript and in every export.
Estonian-speaking teams often work with colleagues in Finland, Latvia or further abroad, with English as the shared language. Finnish and Russian are among the 38 supported languages too; mixed-language meetings stay in one transcript without a language setting, and the minutes can be written in Estonian, English, Finnish, Russian or any other of the 38 languages.
The web app is available in Estonian, transcripts, minutes and translations work in Estonian, and recordings are never used to train AI models.
Kadri Tamm (07:12) — Kolimine lükkub detsembri keskele, sest remont ei saa novembris valmis.
Mart Kask (07:40) — Selge. Ma teavitan reedeks kõiki töötajaid ja saadan uue ajakava.
Kolimine uude kontorisse lükkub detsembri keskele.
Mart Kask → teavitada töötajaid ja saata uus ajakava reedeks
In English: the move to the new office is postponed to mid-December; Mart Kask informs the staff and sends the new schedule by Friday.
How Estonian transcription works
Four steps from a recording or a call to a minutes draft.
- 1
Add the recording
Upload audio or video up to 8 hours and 2 GB (MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV and more), record in the browser or the mobile app, paste a YouTube or Google Drive link, or send the bot to a live meeting.
- 2
Choose the minutes language
Auto keeps the minutes in Estonian. Choose English, Finnish, Russian or any other of the 38 languages if the readers need it.
- 3
Set the names once
Type each speaker’s name once, with its diacritics — Tamm, Kask, Õunapuu, Pärn — and it is used in the transcript, the minutes and every export.
- 4
Export or ask
Download Word or PDF minutes, a TXT transcript or SRT and VTT subtitles, and ask questions about the meeting in Estonian or English.
What you get from a Estonian recording
Text you can edit, minutes you can send, translations you can share.
Estonian with Finnish, Russian or English
Meetings that switch languages are transcribed without choosing a language in advance.
õ, ä, ö, ü kept
Estonian letters (õ, ä, ö, ü, š and ž) stay intact in the transcript, the minutes and the PDF, Word, TXT, JSON, SRT and VTT exports.
Speakers named once
Voices are separated automatically. With the bot, participant names from the call are matched to the voices; for uploads, rename each speaker once.
Minutes with decisions and owners
Attendees, agenda, decisions, tasks with owners and the next meeting, plus a detailed narrative version — a draft for the secretary to approve.
Translations for partners
Translate the minutes or the full transcript into any of the 38 languages and keep the Estonian original alongside.
Subtitles and documents
SRT and VTT subtitles for videos, DOCX and PDF for documents, and TXT and JSON for other tools.
Good to know for Estonian recordings
Common uses in Estonian-speaking companies, associations and universities.
Koosoleku protokoll
The minutes give you a structured protokoll draft — attendees, agenda, decisions, tasks — that the person keeping the record reviews and approves.
Estonian and Russian in one meeting
Teams that switch between Estonian and Russian keep one transcript; the minutes can be written in either language, or in English.
Juhatuse koosolek and üldkoosolek
For a management board meeting or a general meeting, the Board / committee meeting template adds attendance and quorum, motions, votes and resolutions.
Interviews and lectures
Research interviews, university lectures and dictated notes become a timestamped transcript with speaker labels, ready to edit in Word.
Ask in English about an Estonian meeting
Search works by meaning across languages, so a colleague can ask in English and get an answer with citations that play the Estonian moment.
