How to Automate Meeting & Session Notes as a Translator

Translators lose billable hours typing up client briefings. Whether it's a scope call for LegalBridge or a terminology review for MedTech, trying to take notes while listening breaks your flow and slows down project setup.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

You record the call, then replay it to type notes into Trados or Excel, hitting pause constantly.

45 minutes per session
  1. Record the Zoom or phone briefing separately.
  2. Listen back, pausing every 10 seconds to type out key terms and deadlines.
  3. Manually calculate the word count estimate based on what you heard.
  4. Copy-paste terminology lists into your glossary file.
  5. Draft a follow-up email summarizing the agreed rates and timeline.

With Christine AI

The Christine Way

Christine

🎤 Voice Note: Just got off with MedTech. They need the infusion pump manual updated. 12,000 words, deadline next Monday. Rate is $65/hr, estimated 20 hours. They stressed consistency on 'occlusion alarm' - must match their 2023 glossary.
9:41 AM
Got it. I've added 'MedTech Pump Manual' to your active projects: 12k words, due Monday. Estimated revenue $1,300. I also flagged 'occlusion alarm' for a terminology check against your 2023 files.
9:41 AM
Great. Can you draft an email to them confirming the timeline and asking if they want the deliverable as .docx or InDesign?
9:42 AM
Draft ready: 'Hi Sarah, confirming we're on track for Monday delivery of the 12k word update. Quick question: do you need the final output in .docx or InDesign format? Best, [Your Name]'. Want me to send it?
9:42 AM
Yes send it. Also remind me Friday morning to start the actual translation so I don't leave it to Sunday night.
9:43 AM
Email sent! ✅ Reminder set for Friday at 9:00 AM: 'Start MedTech infusion pump translation.'
