Keep your own meeting minutes without learning shorthand

by

From Microsoft Offcie at Work blog: Your meeting notes are incomplete. Something important was said that you forgot to write down. It happens to everyone, but how do you reconstruct the missing information? Actually, there is no need.

• The task: You need to get the details of something important that you neglected to write down during a meeting, conference, or class.

• The challenge: Trying to reconstruct the missing information from the notes you took, or from your colleagues’ notes, will take too much time and may not provide the answer.

• The solution: Use the audio recording feature in Microsoft Office OneNote to record meetings, conferences, and classes in real time, and then play back exactly what was said at precisely the time you took any given note.

Note Before making an audio recording, it is always a good idea to let those present know that they will be recorded.

How to get it done:

1.
Click the location on the page where you want to place the recording—for example, beside a paragraph or photo that you are commenting on.

2.
On the Standard toolbar, click the arrow next to the Record button, and then click either Record Audio Only or Record Video.

A time stamp is placed on the page.

3.
Start recording your audio notes or video notes.

4.
To finish the recording, click Stop on the Audio and Video Recording toolbar.
