Zoom Transcription
Processing your Zoom recording...
For .zip bundles, server-side extraction runs first and adds 10-30 seconds.
Built for Zoom cloud recordings
Names from Zoom metadata
Zoom stores participant names inside the recording file. We read them during processing, so the transcript labels each turn with the actual name rather than a generic speaker number.
Drop the whole .zip bundle
Zoom cloud exports arrive as a .zip containing individual participant streams and a mixed-audio MP4. Upload the bundle as-is and we extract the right file on the server.
Recording deleted after processing
Your file is processed on our servers and removed when the job finishes. The transcript is saved to your account history where you can download or delete it.
How Zoom transcription works
- Download the Zoom cloud recording from your Zoom account (.mp4, .m4a, or .zip).
- Upload it here. Participant names are pulled from the file metadata automatically.
- Select your output format and click Transcribe. Speaker diarization and the AI summary run in the same pass.
- Download the finished TXT, DOCX, SRT, or JSON file and share it with your team.
