MeetingMint supports five export formats, each optimized for different use cases. Here’s how to choose the right format for your needs.
TXT: Plain Text Documents
Best for: General documentation, quick reference, and archival
TXT is the simplest format—just plain text without formatting. It’s universally readable and works everywhere.
When to use TXT:
- Quick reference during follow-up work
- Archival in document management systems
- Copying into emails or chat
- Manual analysis or review
Limitations:
- No timestamps or speaker labels
- No structure beyond what you add manually
- Not suitable for automated processing
SRT: Subtitles with Timestamps
Best for: Video content, accessibility, and sync with recordings
SRT (SubRip Text) is the standard subtitle format. It includes timestamps so subtitles sync with video or audio playback.
SRT structure:
1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Let's review the Q4 results.When to use SRT:
- Creating video content from meetings
- Adding captions to recordings for accessibility
- Syncing transcripts with playback
- Multi-language subtitle workflows
Use cases:
- Training videos from meeting recordings
- Accessibility compliance for recorded sessions
- Post-meeting review with audio sync
CSV: Structured Data for Analysis
Best for: Spreadsheets, data analysis, and reporting
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a structured format that opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and data analysis tools.
CSV structure:
timestamp,speaker,text
00:00:15,Speaker 1,Here's what we decided...When to use CSV:
- Analyzing meeting patterns across time
- Creating reports on discussion topics
- Importing into databases or BI tools
- Custom dashboards and metrics
Use cases:
- Tracking how much each department speaks
- Analyzing time spent on different topics
- Building custom analytics on meeting content
- Compliance reporting
JSON: Data for Applications
Best for: Integration with software, APIs, and custom applications
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a structured data format that applications can parse programmatically. It’s ideal when you need to process meeting data with code.
JSON structure:
{
"title": "Q4 Planning Meeting",
"date": "2026-01-09",
"transcript": [
{
"timestamp": "00:00:15",
"speaker": "Speaker 1",
"text": "Here's what we decided..."
}
],
"summary": "Key points, decisions, and action items..."
}When to use JSON:
- Building custom integrations
- Processing with scripts or applications
- Storing in databases with structure
- Feeding data into other systems
Use cases:
- Automatically creating tasks from action items
- Populating CRM notes from sales calls
- Feeding meeting data into knowledge bases
- Custom dashboards and visualizations
ICS: Calendar Events
Best for: Calendar integration and follow-up scheduling
ICS (iCalendar) is the standard format for calendar events. MeetingMint can generate ICS files for scheduled follow-ups or recurring meetings.
When to use ICS:
- Adding follow-up meetings to calendars
- Scheduling reviews based on meeting outcomes
- Syncing with Google Calendar, Outlook, or other calendar apps
- Meeting reminders tied to previous discussions
Choosing the Right Format
The right format depends on what you’re doing:
| Use Case | Best Format |
|---|---|
| Read and share with humans | TXT |
| Video or audio with captions | SRT |
| Spreadsheet analysis | CSV |
| Application integration | JSON |
| Calendar sync | ICS |
MeetingMint Approach
MeetingMint produces all five formats because enterprise workflows are diverse:
- Documentation teams may need TXT for archives
- Video teams may need SRT for captions
- Analytics teams may need CSV for reporting
- Engineering teams may need JSON for integrations
- Operations teams may need ICS for follow-ups
One meeting, five outputs. Export in the format that works for your workflow.
