- This algorithm automatically converts spoken text into written text. Professionals can record a report, minutes or a case note during or immediately after a meeting. The system generates a draft text from this, which is then checked and edited by a member of staff before being saved.Last change on 3rd of July 2026, at 7:12 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
