What Is Meeting Transcription?

Meeting transcription converts the spoken audio of a meeting into written text, usually with speaker labels and timestamps.

Meeting Transcription

Meeting transcription produces the full text of a call, capturing who said what across multiple speakers. Because meetings involve several voices, speaker labels matter more here than in a single-narrator video.

The transcript is the base for notes, summaries, and search, and a record you can read instead of rewatch.

For example, you search a meeting transcript for a client’s exact wording instead of scrubbing the recording.
