Zoom offers integrated live transcription. In order to enable Live Transcript for your meeting participants:
Modify your settings once:
Log in to Zoom
- Go to Settings
- Choose ‘In Meeting (Advanced)’
- Under Closed Captioning check the box next to ‘Enable live transcription service to show transcript on the side panel in-meeting.’
- Under Save Captions enable ‘Allow participants to save fully closed captions or transcripts (if desired, this is not required).
For each meeting that you would like live transcription made available:
- Start the meeting
- Click CC/Live Transcript button that appears on Zoom toolbar
- Click Enable Auto-Transcription
This should allow your participants to see a CC/Live Transcript button on their Zoom toolbar. Users will have the following options:
- Show/Hide subtitle
- View/close full transcript in the sidebar
- Change subtitle settings: font size
Notes:
If you have enabled CC feature during your Zoom session/class, users must choose Save Transcript in the sidebar before the meeting ends if they want a copy.
Speaker identification is included only in the real-time full transcript sidebar view and is not included in the downloaded transcript file.
Previous Otter.ai users only: Stop Otter live stream (must be stopped for integrated Live Transcript to be available)
Keep in mind, automated/machine generated captioning DOES NOT replace CART as a disability-related accommodation. Continue to work with the Center for Disability Resources as needed. For additional information see Guidelines for CART and ASL Interpreting.
