What Is Zoom Transcription?

Zoom transcription is converting the audio of a Zoom call into written text, usually with speaker labels and timestamps.

Zoom Transcription

Zoom transcription produces the text of a Zoom call, capturing who said what across the people on the call. It can run during the meeting or afterward from the recording, and it turns the spoken discussion into something you can read and search.

For example, you search a Zoom transcript for the point where a decision was made instead of replaying the call.

  2. Recognize – Convert the speech into text.
