Upload and process the transcript

Chief Live Sessions - uploading an existing transcript
  1. Open the paired Chief Live Sessions App.
  2. Make sure no Live Session is recording or being joined.
  3. On Home, click Already had a call?.
  4. In Put your last conversation to work, confirm the Project and click Choose transcript.
  5. Choose a TXT, CSV, SRT, VTT, or DOCX file.
  6. Keep the app open while it shows Reading filename and then Building your summary….
  7. When Chief says the file was saved and the summary and action items are ready, click Open notes.
The import creates a Live Session from the file. You can then review the summary, decisions, and action items or send the result to an AI agent.
Good to Know: Importing a transcript is different from capturing a meeting live. Chief processes the words in the file; it cannot recover audio or visual context that the transcript does not contain.

​
If processing fails

The import dialog shows Try again if processing fails. Confirm the file uses one of the accepted formats and retry it. If the same file continues to fail, send a bug report and recent app logs to Chief Support.
