Transcripts and Summaries

Every meeting Elly captures produces a record with a recording, transcript, and AI-generated summary. This page walks through how to find and work with those records.

The Meetings list#

Click Meetings in the main navigation. You'll see every meeting in your workspace, most recent first.

Filter the list by:

Job — Only meetings tied to a specific job.
Candidate — Only meetings with one person.
Date range — Last 7 days, last month, custom.
Type — Phone, video, AI interview, uploaded file.

The meeting detail page#

Click any meeting to open its detail page. The layout is:

Header — Candidate name, job, meeting type, date, duration.
Recording player — Stream the audio or video; click a transcript line to jump to that timestamp.
Transcript — Full text with speaker labels and timestamps.
Summary — Structured AI-generated notes (see below).
Scorecard — If a template was attached, the AI's evaluation against each criterion.

Reading the transcript#

The transcript is searchable — press Cmd+F (macOS) or Ctrl+F (Windows) on the detail page to search within it. Clicking any line jumps the recording player to that moment, which is the fastest way to verify what was actually said versus what the summary extracted.

Speaker labels depend on the source: AI interviews and phone calls are typically labelled reliably; multi-party video calls are best-effort.

AI-generated summaries#

Summaries are structured — not a wall of prose. What appears depends on the meeting type and the scorecard template:

AI interviews use the stage's scorecard template, producing a section per criterion with the AI's assessment.
Phone and video calls use a general meeting template (highlights, topics discussed, action items) unless a scorecard template is explicitly attached.
Uploaded recordings default to the general template.

See Scorecard Templates for how templates shape summaries.

Regenerating a summary#

If the first summary misses something — or if it was withheld due to low credits — click Regenerate summary on the meeting detail page.

Regeneration:

Re-runs the summary against the current transcript.
Charges credits again (5 per meeting; 10 for AI interviews), since it uses the same AI capacity.
Replaces the previous summary. The transcript and recording are untouched.

Use regeneration sparingly — if the summary looks wrong, verify against the transcript first.

Withheld summaries#

If your workspace runs out of credits during processing, the summary status will show Completed (withheld). The recording and transcript are fully available, but the summary itself is blank.

Once credits reset at the start of your next billing cycle, or you upgrade your plan, click Regenerate summary to produce it.

Click Share on a meeting detail page to generate a shareable link. Two sharing modes are available:

Internal — Accessible to anyone in your workspace.
External — A link you can share with interviewers, hiring managers, or candidates outside your workspace. External viewers see a trimmed version of the page without internal notes or credit details.

You can revoke a share link at any time from the same menu.
