How do I use live transcription in a Zoom meeting?

Live transcription is a feature in Zoom that allows participants to view real-time captions of what is being said in the meeting. This feature can be particularly useful for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as for non-native speakers who may have difficulty understanding spoken language.

To use live transcription in a Zoom meeting, follow these steps:

1. Start or join a Zoom meeting.
2. Click on the “Live Transcript” button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Select “Enable Auto-Transcription.”
4. Choose whether to display the captions on the side of the screen or in a full transcript window.

Once live transcription is enabled, captions will appear in real-time as people speak in the meeting. Participants can customize the appearance of the captions by changing the text size and color or by hiding the captions altogether.

Note that the quality of the live transcription may vary depending on the audio quality and background noise in the meeting. It is also important to note that live transcription may not be available in all versions of Zoom.

To use live transcription in a Zoom meeting, follow these steps:

1. Enable live transcription in your Zoom account settings.

   • Go to Settings > Meeting > In Meeting (Advanced).
   • Under Automated captions, select the language you want to transcribe in.
   • Select Enable.

2. Start a Zoom meeting.

   • Once the meeting starts, click the Transcript button in the toolbar.
   • The transcript will appear at the bottom of the screen.

3. Speak clearly and slowly so that the transcription is accurate.

   • If you have a strong accent, you may want to use a different language for the transcription.
   • You can also use the Transcript options menu to adjust the settings, such as the font size and color.

4. Save the transcript after the meeting.

   • Once the meeting is over, you can click the Save transcript button to save a copy of the transcript.
   • The transcript will be saved as a .txt file.
