Every meeting in talat can be exported as a Markdown file, a PDF, or copied straight to the clipboard. You can do it per-meeting on demand, or configure talat to write every finished meeting to a folder automatically.
Manual export
Click the download button on any meeting to open the export menu. Pick which sections to include (Notes, Summary, Action points, Chapters, Transcript, and Timestamps), then choose one of three destinations:
- Copy. Puts the formatted Markdown on your clipboard.
- Save as Markdown. Writes a .md file to a location you pick.
- Save as PDF. Renders the same content to PDF.
Timestamps are only available when Transcript is ticked. The Summary option is disabled if the meeting has no summary yet.
Auto-export
Auto-export writes every finished meeting to a folder of your choice as a Markdown file, without you having to open each meeting. It fires once post-processing is complete, so the exported file always contains the final summary and title.
To turn it on, open Settings → Exports:
- Tick Auto-export.
- Choose the destination folder. This can be any folder on your machine, including a subfolder of your Obsidian vault. See Obsidian for that setup.
- Pick which sections to include. The options match manual export: Notes, Summary, Action points, Chapters, Transcript, Timestamps.
- Optionally tick Audio recording to copy the original audio file to the export folder next to each Markdown file. This requires audio recording to be enabled under Settings → Recordings.
- Optionally have talat rename exported files when a meeting’s title changes, so a file exported before its auto-generated title lands stays in step once the title settles.
Filenames
The filename is a template you control in Settings → Exports, defaulting to the date, time, and title. You can rearrange it with tokens for the date, individual date parts, and the title, with a live preview and a reset to the default. It applies everywhere talat writes a file: manual saves, auto-export, and batch export alike. If audio is copied too, it gets the same base filename with the matching audio extension.
Exporting your whole history at once
If you turn auto-export on after you’ve already recorded a stack of meetings, the batch export button in Settings → Exports writes every finished meeting to the auto-export folder in one go, so your back catalogue matches what new meetings produce.
Pushing to an HTTP endpoint instead
If you want finished meetings delivered to a web service rather than a folder, use the webhook integration instead. It fires on the same event as auto-export and supports either Markdown or a structured JSON payload.
