Shorten a long recording to the useful minutes. Upload the file and choose a target length from 1 to 40 minutes (eight is the default). Spoken cues are scored, the highest-scoring stretches are kept until that time budget is full, then they are joined in original order. You download the shorter file and a list of what was kept.

Upload one recording and set how many minutes to keep (1–40).
Managers ask for “the recording.” What they will play is eight minutes. This tool is not a silence-only trim and not a montage invented from a title. “Strongest spoken stretches” means transcript cues that score higher because they are longer, or because they contain a spoken number, a commitment (“I will” / “we will”), a request-like line, or a question. Everyday asides and repeated filler talk score lower and are more likely to be dropped. Kept cues are put back in time order, so the briefing still follows the meeting. If the spoken time is already inside your budget, we do not cut. Weaker speech is dropped even if it was not silent.
Managers, team leads, and anyone with an hour-long file and a short window to listen.
A 47-minute standup is sitting in a chat. People will not play it. Upload the file and set 8 minutes. Lines with dates, “I’ll send…,” and questions rank above the weather talk. You download an eight-minute-class briefing and a list of kept moments you can skim before you forward it.
A recorded class has definitions mixed with asides. Upload it and pick 15 minutes. Dense explanations that mention numbers or questions are more likely to stay. Repeated jokes and long asides are more likely to go. You get a shorter file, not a new syllabus.
The walkthrough is an hour. The client asked for “just the decisions.” Upload it, keep 10 minutes. Spoken prices and commitments rise in the ranking. You send the short file plus the kept list so they can jump to a line if needed.
An ops lead uploads a 47-minute weekly update and types 8 in the minutes field. Spoken time is far above 8 minutes, so a cut runs. Cues that mention “Friday,” “40,000,” and “can you update the board” outrank a long story about the office move. Kept cues are joined in order. The numbers below are an illustration of the result shape.
Kept 1 04:12 “I will send the revised quote Friday.” Kept 2 11:03 “The price is still 40,000.” Kept 3 22:40 “Can you update the board before Monday?” Kept 4 31:18 “We are going to freeze the scope after this.” Short file: update-short.mp4 (~8 min) Weaker asides and repeated status were dropped.
One shorter audio or video file near your target, plus a timed list of kept stretches. If spoken time already fits the budget, we report that and do not cut.

“Strongest” is a practical score (length, numbers, commitments, requests, questions), not a human editor’s judgment of importance. A crucial aside with no number or promise can be dropped. The short file is still in time order, but it is not a written summary. Scoring depends on the transcript: a missed number cannot boost that line.
Upload the recording and type how many minutes to keep (1–40). Highest-scoring spoken stretches are joined into one shorter file.
Longer cues score higher. Extra weight is added for spoken numbers, “I will / we will” commitments, request-like lines, and questions. Everyday asides score lower.
Cues that did not fit the budget after higher-scoring lines were kept — often repeated status, small talk, and talk with no number, promise, request, or question.
No. Silence-only keeps the whole talk and drops gaps. This aims at a time budget and can drop weaker speech too.
Yes. Kept stretches are sorted back into the order they were said.
If spoken time is already within your minutes, we do not cut and we say so.
Yes. Upload MP3, M4A, or WAV and download a shorter audio file.
