Google Meet’s “Take notes for me” feature now supports seven additional languages as of March 12, 2025, broadening its utility for global teams. This AI-driven tool captures meeting discussions automatically, enhancing productivity by allowing participants to focus on conversations rather than note-taking.
Google Meet expands note-taking feature with seven new languages
The newly added languages include French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. This integration with Google Gemini makes Google Meet a more inclusive platform for diverse workplaces. Users can select their preferred language for note-taking directly when initiating the feature or change it from the settings menu under Meeting records.
Upon activation, all participants will see a blue pencil icon, indicating that notes are being recorded. A click on this icon allows for real-time access to the transcribed notes. However, it is important to note that multilingual meetings are not yet supported, meaning a single language must be selected for the duration of the note-taking process.
You can now say: Take notes for me Google Meets
The rollout of this language expansion will be gradual, with Google monitoring the performance and quality of the feature in its new languages. Consequently, full availability might extend beyond the usual 15-day rollout period. Updates regarding the completion of each language’s rollout will be communicated as they occur.
This latest feature is accessible to users of Google Workspace Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, and those using the Gemini Education Premium add-on. Additionally, users of the previously acquired Gemini Enterprise or AI Meetings & Messaging add-ons will automatically receive this update.
Previously, “Take notes for me” was only available for meetings conducted in English. Now, with its increased language capabilities, Google Meet positions itself as a more versatile tool for international collaboration, potentially reducing the need for designated note-takers in meetings.
