I had an impromptu meeting today that gave me a chance to see how Pocket performed.
Overall, I’m very pleased. It captured the important parts, handled some strange acronyms well. The action items were accurate (if a bit too comprehensive).
But the speaker identification… There were only two of us in a 12’x12” foot room with not much other noise. We were both within five feet of the Pocket. I am a 63-year-old woman, and the other participant was a male grad student in his early to mid-20s. Pocket mixed us up completely. I think random guessing would have done almost as well.
I also noticed that, even though I tagged both participants, the action items, even after regenerating, were “Speaker 0” and “Speaker 1.” That’s annoying.
I also found the process of adding a new participant less than intuitive. I typed in the new name, tapped enter, went back to the transcript. And nothing. When I tried the second time, I realized that I needed to tap on “Add New” (forgot the exact words) in the upper right corner.
I now have the meeting summary and the action items pasted into the appropriate Notion page where I cleaned them up. The copy/paste (done on an iPhone) resulted in text that looks pretty good.
I used the “Meeting Notes” theme and Claude 4.1 Opus (probably a random choice).
