Might be a pretty cool feature if you are slow at taking notes, thoughts?

Why is this a big deal they have been doing this for years?

Microsoft Teams also does this?

I think I speak for everyone when I say we all knew this

And Alexa has been doing it since 2018.

I hate this headline. It's literally a feature of Google Meet. Haven't used it there but used the same thing in Teams and honestly it's useful with meetings where you have action items since you don't need to write them down and can literally search the notes for whatever later.

Great for deaf people. This is good news.

Also good for note taking online classes.

#RECORDING BAD

EVERYTHING you do on your computer/smartphone can be and is recorded on servers somewhere else....

well... yeah?

Microsoft teams has been able to do this since....

"Now" ...?

Zoom can do it too, using otter.ai

"This meeting CAN be an e-mail!" squeals with joy

Assume all technology is collecting all possible data all the time

You have already agreed to this.

This is why if I want to have an "Off The Record" conversation with a coworker, I drop off MS Teams. It's best practice to assume every call you have on company assets are recorded, even if they are not.

Is this article really spinning a quality of life feature for enterprise users as a privacy violation?

This article is the equivalent of saying: "Watch out, if you press record it will record stuff". It's just about a live transcription feature for calls that you can use.

wait till this guy finds out it can record the WHOLE MEETING

Teams attaches the transcript to the meeting chat, and tells everybody you're recording a transcript.

Not sure if Google does this.

I don't see it as a big deal. People transcribe and make notes of meetings. This just automates that process.

It is click-bait. Zoom does it as well.

In my line of work, it's been a godsend that remote meetings have become normalized, and I can sit and type notes while I interview people. I've thought about using these tools, because it would help even more to be able to literally reread what they said when I forget, but I'm also hesitant because I feel I'd need to tell the other person and that might have a cooling effect on the conversation. It's much less of an issue in a large meeting, but for one-on-one stuff I wonder how it is received.

I have a bad memory and slow to take notes, it would be so freeing to be able to just focus on the conversation and know it's being captured. Ugh I should just do it.

"Google evil hurr durr" sells better than "Product introduces new feature".

That's a feature and it's great.

Careful what you chit chat about, much easier to scrub text data for interesting phrases rather than listen in.

Nothing new. They already have all my information through that I provided for better account security.

We should focus more and data breaches and scamming.

I thought everything you ever did since the internet existed was recorded already

I totally get your point with that, I think maybe they will go in the direction of putting a disclaimer on the call saying that notes are being taken like when you phone a company up they have to let you know that all calls are recorded.

This call may be monitored or recorded for …. 1991 enters the chat
