# Turn a meeting recording into minutes with Duaer

In Duaer, upload a meeting recording, turn it into text with Duaer Transcribe, and let the meeting notes employee list decisions, actions, and open questions.
## Build the meeting minutes flow in Duaer

1. Hire the [Duaer meeting notes employee](https://hire.duaer.com/meeting-notes/) and copy its ID under Hired.
2. Add [Form Trigger](/build/form-trigger.md) with one File field labelled Recording and Accepted File Types .mp3,.m4a,.wav.
3. Add [Duaer Transcribe](/build/duaer-transcribe.md). Set Input Binary Field to Recording (the form stores the file under the field label), set Language, and pick a model with Transcribe in its name.
4. Add [Duaer Employee](/build/duaer-employee.md), paste the ID, and set Input to {{ $json.transcript }}.
5. Add [Send Email](/build/send-email.md) or [Slack](/build/slack.md) to send decisions, actions, and open_questions to attendees.

When you already have a transcript from your meeting tool, skip transcription: collect the text in the form and pass it straight to the employee.

## Format of Duaer meeting minutes

- decisions: what was decided, separated by semicolons.
- actions: each as Owner: task due YYYY-MM-DD; TBD when the owner or date was not said.
- open_questions: unresolved questions, or none.

Duaer Transcribe takes up to 12 MB per file and charges by length; the meeting notes employee costs 5 credits per call. Split long meetings before transcribing.
## Questions

### Which audio formats does Duaer Transcribe accept?

Duaer Transcribe accepts mp3, wav, m4a, ogg, flac, webm, and aac, up to 12 MB per file.
