Automatically transcribe and summarize any recorded calls in Close through our Call Assistant feature.
When enabled, a full transcription and summary will be available to view shortly after any voicemail (regardless of duration) and any recorded call that's over 30 seconds long. Summaries are meant to provide you with a high-level understanding of the topics discussed on the call. Dive into the transcription to review exactly what was said on the call.
Transcriptions
Call Assistant will automatically transcribe all of your recorded calls made through Close.
- Know exactly what was said in calls without painstaking review
- Skim the transcript, and jump to points in the conversation just by clicking on text

Summaries
Call Assistant will generate a short summary after each call based on the transcript.
Get the gist of each conversation without having to rely on notes. Easily review you or your team’s previous interactions with a customer much faster than previously possible.
Searching Transcriptions
Transcriptions are fully searchable, at the transcription level as well as across all of your leads.
While viewing the transcriptions, simply type in the word of phrase you're looking for to find the point in the conversation where it was mentioned.
To search through all of the transcripts in your organization, go to Leads > Add Filter and select the Recording Transcript field under Calls.
Searching for phrases
Protip: If your search term contains multiple words, you'll want to select "Contains phrase..."
