Original Abstract Submitted

One or more audio files including a recording of one or more verbal statements provided by a first participant of the conference call are obtained. A determination is made that the recorded one or more verbal statements include a question associated with audio-based polling of a set of second participants of the conference call. Response data indicating one or more responses to the question provided by at least one of the set of second participants is obtained. A report indicating one or more outcomes of the audio-based polling is generated based on at least the question and the one or more responses to the question indicated by the obtained response data.
