Krisp AI Meeting Assistant allows you to focus on the conversation without worrying about taking extensive notes. It consists of 2 main features: Transcripts and Meeting Notes.
Transcripts are written records of a conversation or meeting. Meeting Notes, on the other hand, are concise summaries of a meeting's main points, action items, and discussion items. This article explains how you can install and use Krisp Meeting Notes and Transcripts.
How to install and use Meeting Notes and Transcripts?
To use Meeting Notes and Transcripts, follow these steps:
- Download Krisp from the Download the app page.
- As soon as Krisp is installed, you’ll see Meeting Notes feature package downloading.
- After the package download is completed, select both Krisp Speaker and Krisp Microphone in your communication app.
- Toggle Transcription ON in the Krisp app. Transcription will work even if Krisp Microphone/Speaker toggles are OFF or you run out of free Noise Cancellation minutes.
Important
Transcripts and Meeting Notes are based on audio from Krisp Microphone and Speaker. Selecting both Krisp Microphone and Krisp Speaker ensures including all speakers in the Transcripts. Skipping Krisp Speaker means only your speech is included, resulting in incomplete Transcripts and Meeting Notes.Hint
Before starting a meeting with Transcription enabled, we recommend informing all the meeting participants that the meeting will be transcribed.Check Krisp Security page for more security and privacy-related questions.
Once these steps are completed, you can sit back and let Krisp do the work.

Connecting your Calendar
Krisp asks for calendar access to enhance the accuracy and convenience of Transcripts and Meeting Notes.
If you are a newly signed-up user, you’ll be asked to connect your calendar after you click Sign in with browser in the Krisp app:
If you decide to skip this step, you will be able to connect your calendar anytime from the left panel of your Account dashboard:
Krisp asks for the following calendar accesses:
- Calendar events: By accessing your calendar events, Krisp can match the meeting date/time with the date/time of the Transcripts, and use the calendar meeting name as the Transcript name. This helps you to identify the correct Transcript and keep track of your meetings.
- Contacts and Directory: Krisp can detect that there are different people speaking during the call. But, it doesn’t know speaker names. By getting access to the contacts or directory of the user, Krisp can replace generic labels like "Speaker 1, 2, etc." with real names. For now, it applies only to 1:1 meetings. This helps the user to identify who said what during the meeting.
