So you’ve just finished recording a meeting or webinar on Zoom, and now you want to add a transcript to your recording. Adding a transcript can be incredibly useful for accessibility purposes, as well as for those who want a written record of the conversation. Fortunately, Zoom provides an easy way to add a transcript to your recorded meetings. In this article, I will guide you through the process step-by-step, sharing my own personal experiences and tips along the way.
Step 1: Accessing your Zoom Recording
The first step is to access your Zoom recording. Go to the Zoom website (https://zoom.us/) and sign in to your account. Once you’re signed in, navigate to the “Recordings” section. Here you will find a list of all your recorded meetings and webinars.
Click on the recording that you want to add a transcript to. This will open a new page with the details of your recording.
Step 2: Enabling Automatic Transcripts
Zoom provides an automatic transcript feature that can generate a transcript for your recording. To enable this feature, scroll down to the “Cloud Recordings” section on the recording details page. Here you will find the option to enable automatic transcripts.
Click on the checkbox next to “Enable Transcripts” and then click on the “Save” button. This will enable the automatic transcript feature for your recording.
Step 3: Generating the Transcript
Once you have enabled automatic transcripts, Zoom will start generating the transcript for your recording. This process may take some time depending on the length of your recording.
While waiting for the transcript to be generated, you can continue with other tasks or come back to it later. You will receive an email notification once the transcript is ready.
Step 4: Reviewing and Editing the Transcript
Once the transcript is ready, you can review it and make any necessary edits. To do this, go back to the recording details page and scroll down to the “Transcripts” section.
Click on the “View” button next to the transcript to open it. You will be taken to a new page where you can review the transcript.
If you notice any errors or inaccuracies in the transcript, you can make edits directly on the page. Zoom provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to easily make changes.
Step 5: Sharing the Transcript
Once you are satisfied with the transcript, you can share it with others. Zoom provides multiple options for sharing your transcript.
You can download the transcript as a text file by clicking on the “Download” button. This allows you to easily share the transcript via email or other platforms.
Alternatively, you can also share a link to the transcript. Click on the “Copy Shareable Link” button to copy the link to your clipboard. You can then paste the link into an email, chat message, or any other platform where you want to share the transcript.
