Every meeting in Fano Summary comes with a complete transcript — a word-for-word record of everything that was said, with speaker identification and timestamps.

Viewing a transcript

  1. Open a meeting from the sidebar.
  2. Click the Transcript tab (next to Summary).
  3. Scroll through the full conversation.
Each transcript entry shows:
  • Speaker label — who said it (e.g., “Speaker 1”, “Speaker 2”)
  • Timestamp — when in the meeting it was said
  • Text — the transcribed speech
Click on any transcript segment to highlight it and jump to that point in the audio playback.

Speaker identification

Fano automatically detects different speakers and labels them. Speaker labels appear as “Speaker 1”, “Speaker 2”, etc., based on voice detection.
Speaker labels are assigned based on voice characteristics. In meetings with many participants or cross-talk, speaker attribution may occasionally be imprecise.

Language detection

The transcript language is detected automatically based on what was spoken in the meeting. Fano supports multiple languages including English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. This is independent of the summary language — your transcript reflects the actual spoken language, while summaries can be generated in your preferred language, per account or per meeting.

Using transcripts with summaries

Transcripts and summaries work together:
  • Need the exact wording? Check the transcript.
  • Need the gist? Read the summary.
  • Want to verify a summary point? Click its timestamp to hear the original.
The audio playback bar at the bottom of the page lets you listen to any section alongside the text.

Exporting a transcript

You can export the transcript as well as the summary — useful when you need the complete record rather than the distilled version, for example for a compliance file or a client dispute.
