# User Guide — MeetingNotes AI (EN)

## Run the app
- Local: see README (venv → pip install → `python app.py`)
- Hugging Face Spaces: upload all files and open the Space

## How to use
1. **Choose your input**:
   - Upload a **meeting audio** (.mp3/.wav) → click **Analyze** to transcribe.
   - OR paste a **transcript**.

2. **Outputs**:
   - **Summary** (1–2 paragraphs)
   - **Action Items** (list)
   - **Decisions** (list)
   - A downloadable **minutes.md** file

3. **Tips**:
   - Prefer clean recordings for audio (less noise).
   - Multiple speakers are fine; diarization is not enabled by default.
   - You can edit the transcript and re-run the extraction.

## Troubleshooting
- If audio fails: ensure **ffmpeg** is available.
- If it’s slow on CPU: use a smaller Whisper model (tiny/base) or `flan-t5-base` in `nlp_utils.py`.
- Transcript-only flow works without ffmpeg.
