Importing audio and notes-only meetings

You do not have to record live to add a meeting to Daisy. You can import an existing audio file to transcribe, or create a notes-only meeting with no audio at all.

Opening the new meeting form

1. Open the Library.
2. Click + Meeting to open the New meeting dialog.

In the dialog you can add a Title (optional), pick Tags, and choose to import audio, type notes, or both.

Importing an audio file

1. Click Choose audio… and select a file (the button then reads Change…). Supported formats are .mp3, .m4a, .aac, .wav, .flac, .ogg, and .opus (for example, an iPhone Voice Memo).
2. Optionally set the Speakers count. Leave it on Auto-detect to let Daisy work out how many people are talking, or enter a number (1–20) if you already know.
3. Optionally add a title, notes, and tags.
4. Click Import & transcribe.

Daisy transcribes the file, labels the speakers, and writes a summary in the background — just like a live recording.

If the file decodes but the audio quality is low, Daisy shows an Audio looks rough notice. Accuracy and speaker separation will be best-effort. Click Transcribe anyway to continue, or Cancel to back out.

Creating a notes-only meeting

1. Leave the audio field empty.
2. Type or paste your notes (stored as markdown), and optionally add a title and tags.
3. Click Create.

A notes-only meeting has no audio or transcript, but its notes fold into search and Q&A alongside your other meetings.
