Transcription

Teams

Here's how to start live transcription in Teams:

All participants will be notified that the meeting is being transcribed. 

  1. During a meeting, click the "More options" (three dots) menu.
  2. Select "Record and transcribe" and then "Start transcription."
  3. Confirm the spoken language of the meeting.

 

Zoom

To enable the audio transcript feature for your own use:

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal, not the app.
  2. In the navigation menu, click Settings.
  3. Click the Recording tab.
  4. Locate the Cloud recording setting and verify that it's enabled.
    Notes:
    • If the setting is disabled, click the toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog appears, click Enable to verify the change.
    • If the option is grayed out, it has been locked at either the account or group level, and you will need to contact your Zoom administrator.
  5. In the Advanced cloud recording settings section, select the check box next to Create audio transcript to enable it, then click Save to confirm the change.
    Note: If you don't see this setting, verify that you meet the prerequisites for this feature.
