Your own transcript of every Zoom call

Zoom's built-in captions and transcripts often depend on the host's or the account's settings, and note-taking bots have to join the meeting as an extra participant. Call Transcriber needs neither: it runs on your PC and transcribes the Zoom audio you hear, plus your own microphone.

  • Automatic: when the Zoom app starts using your microphone, transcription starts; when you leave the meeting, the transcript is saved.
  • Zoom app or browser: works with the Zoom desktop app and Zoom in Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
  • Host or guest: it doesn't matter who organised the meeting or which plan they have.
  • No announcement: no bot appears in the participant list.

Use it during the meeting

Press Ctrl+Alt+T to copy what the other person just said, Ctrl+Alt+5 for the last five lines, or Ctrl+Alt+A for the whole meeting so far, and paste it into Zoom chat, your notes or your CRM. The shortcuts work while the Zoom window is in front.

Set up in a minute

  1. Download Call Transcriber and sign in with your email (30-day free trial).
  2. Join a Zoom meeting as usual.
  3. After about three seconds the transcript starts. Type the other person's name in the "With" box if you like.

For group meetings, everyone you hear appears as "Them" and your own voice as "Me". For one-to-one calls you can name the other person.

Don't forget consent

Tell the other participants that you are transcribing the meeting where your local law requires it. See our consent guide.
