Yes, you can effectively edit and customize various components associated with your Fathom recordings, enhancing their utility and focus. Fathom provides tools to refine your meeting data, primarily through customizing summaries and trimming transcript sections.

Customizing Your Fathom Recordings

Fathom offers robust features that allow you to tailor how your meeting content is presented and summarized. While direct manipulation of the core audio/video file isn't the primary editing function, you have significant control over the generated content and data linked to your recordings.

Tailoring Meeting Summaries

One of Fathom's core strengths is its ability to generate comprehensive meeting summaries. Fathom provides 14 different summary types, and a key advantage is that all of these summary types are fully customizable. This flexibility allows you to fine-tune the output to meet your specific needs, ensuring the most relevant information is highlighted.

You can leverage this customization to:

  • Personalize Content: Adjust the specific details and information included within each summary type.
  • Refine Structure: Modify the organization and flow of the summary for better readability and impact.
  • Highlight Key Points: Emphasize crucial discussions, decisions, action items, or insights.

Trimming Transcript Sections

Beyond customizing summaries, Fathom also enables you to edit the raw transcript data associated with your recordings. This feature is particularly useful for removing irrelevant discussions, sensitive information, or pauses from the presented call data and subsequent summaries.

Here’s a practical guide on how to trim a section of your Fathom recording's transcript:

  1. Navigate to a specific call: Access the particular Fathom recording you wish to modify.
  2. Access the Transcript: Locate and click on the "Transcript" tab associated with that recording.
  3. Identify the section to trim: Hover your mouse cursor over the segment of the transcript you intend to remove.
  4. Initiate the trim action: Click on the three dots (...) that appear adjacent to the desired section of the transcript.
  5. Select "Trim this section": From the options presented, choose "Trim this section" to remove that specific segment from the transcript.

This capability allows you to precisely control which parts of the conversation are reflected in the searchable transcript and factored into the automated summaries, leading to more concise and focused meeting records.

By leveraging these editing functionalities, you can ensure your Fathom recordings, transcripts, and summaries are accurate, pertinent, and tailored precisely to your operational and informational requirements.
