| # User Guide — MeetingNotes AI (EN) | |
| ## Run the app | |
| - Local: see README (venv → pip install → `python app.py`) | |
| - Hugging Face Spaces: upload all files and open the Space | |
| ## How to use | |
| 1. **Choose your input**: | |
| - Upload a **meeting audio** (.mp3/.wav) → click **Analyze** to transcribe. | |
| - OR paste a **transcript**. | |
| 2. **Outputs**: | |
| - **Summary** (1–2 paragraphs) | |
| - **Action Items** (list) | |
| - **Decisions** (list) | |
| - A downloadable **minutes.md** file | |
| 3. **Tips**: | |
| - Prefer clean recordings for audio (less noise). | |
| - Multiple speakers are fine; diarization is not enabled by default. | |
| - You can edit the transcript and re-run the extraction. | |
| ## Troubleshooting | |
| - If audio fails: ensure **ffmpeg** is available. | |
| - If it’s slow on CPU: use a smaller Whisper model (tiny/base) or `flan-t5-base` in `nlp_utils.py`. | |
| - Transcript-only flow works without ffmpeg. | |
