    Were on our way to eliminate the need for note-taking. We video every meeting. Also, it is backed up with an audio recording which is used to create a 'voice-to-text' transcript. We do a spell-geammar check on it & have a smart AdminAsst run through & condense the Transcript into a greatly shortened Outline . As we get more proficient, we're going to use Ai for a lot of help to cut the human-labor. All media is almost immediately Posted onto the MS-Teams Site for all Members to access & comment on. We don't print a single sheet of paper except for adding to the archive. This method also adds a lot in the Human Factors: It does a great job of keeping everybody honest, Mostly eliminates misunderstandings & bad memory. And, in our biz, Architecture/Engineering/Construction, it goes a long way to delete bad behavior, yelling & intimidation. Most people act a lot better when they know there's a camera in the room, esp Joe Palooka & the sneaky, less overt ones.

    Thank you so much for sharing! Fully agree that AI and new tos take away lot of manual effort and simplify, speed up and improve some of the tedious parts of note taking. I still believe everyone should know how to do it in case you don't have such tools at hand or to check their quality and output. All the best, Lea
