When processing finishes, your first set of generated minutes is ready. This step walks you through reviewing them and confirming speaker identities — the most important thing you'll do on your first meeting, because it teaches MuniMins what your board members sound like.
Open your minutes
- Click All Minutes in the sidebar.
- Click the meeting title to open it.
Identify the speakers
The top panel, which is collapsed by default, is the Speaker Training panel. Speaker training is how you teach MuniMins to recognize voices. This process does not need to be done for every meeting but only for the first few until the system builds a voice profile. See Speaker Training & Identification...
Review the motions & narrative
Motions appear in bold and the minutes narrative - the summary of discussions - appears in paragraphs. The narrative paragraphs can be edited right on the view page by double clicking any section. Double clicking will turn the area into a text box that you can edit. Don't worry about formatting, yet, that will be handled by the template. For now treat this like a text only record.
MuniMins has a fully cutom, powerful interface for validating motions. See Validating Motions on MuniMins.
Finally, you can regenerate the minutes at a different level without re-processing the audio. Use the Regenerate button at the top of the page. Regeneration will reauthor the narrative sections, so any narrative change you may have made will be overwritten. Regeneration does not change motions, however, so motion validation will be preserved.
Your first meeting is the heaviest
Speaker confirmation on the first meeting is the most work you'll do in MuniMins. Once voice profiles are built, future meetings identify most speakers automatically.
