Zoom stands out as a widely used video conferencing tool that enables remote communication between users. What distinguishes Zoom is its feature to automatically transcribe meetings and webinars, providing participants with the convenience of revisiting the discussion post-meeting without the need for note-taking or depending on their recollection.
Step 1: Enable Auto Transcription
To enable auto transcription in Zoom, you need to have a paid account. Once you have a paid account, log in to your Zoom account and go to the “Settings” tab. From there, select “In Meeting (Advanced)” and then check the box next to “Enable Auto-Transcription.”
Step 2: Start a Meeting or Webinar
Once you have enabled auto transcription, you can start a meeting or webinar as usual. During the meeting, Zoom will automatically transcribe the conversation in real-time. You can see the transcript on your screen by clicking on the “Transcript” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Review and Edit the Transcript
After the meeting has ended, you can review the transcript by going to the “Recordings” tab in your Zoom account. From there, select the recording that you want to view and click on the “Transcript” button. You can edit the transcript if necessary, such as adding punctuation or correcting spelling errors.
Step 4: Share the Transcript
If you want to share the transcript with others who were not present during the meeting, you can do so by clicking on the “Share” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to share the transcript via email or by generating a link that you can send to others.
Conclusion
Auto-transcription is a useful feature in Zoom that allows users to easily review and share conversations from meetings and webinars. By following the steps outlined above, you can enable auto transcription, start a meeting or webinar, review and edit the transcript, and share it with others.
