Recording: Audio Transcript

Audio transcription automatically transcribes the audio in a meeting or webinar that you record to the cloud. After the cloud recording processes you will receive notification the transcript is available.

During playback of the recording there is an option to display the transcript text within the video itself, similar to a closed caption display, or read the transcription in the right panel while viewing the recording. The transcript can be downloaded to your desktop as a text file (VTT format) to share as a document. 

The transcript has timestamps that correlate to that time in the cloud recording; use the search function to seek out specific text. The text can be edited to correct words, capitalization, and punctuation. Edits will reflect in the video display, the chat window, and the text (VTT) file. Audio Transcript only supports English.
