In short
To transcribe a Zoom meeting, find the recording (Zoom saves the video as an MP4 and the audio as an M4A, locally or in cloud recordings), then upload that file to TranscribTxt. You get an accurate text transcript in about a minute per 10 minutes of meeting — on any Zoom plan, including free, with no sign-up. It works for Microsoft Teams and Google Meet recordings the same way.

Common questions
How do I transcribe a Zoom recording?
Locate your Zoom recording — the video is saved as an MP4 and the audio-only version as an M4A, either in your local Zoom folder or in the cloud recordings page. Upload that file to TranscribTxt and download the text transcript in about a minute per 10 minutes of meeting.
Does Zoom transcribe meetings automatically?
Zoom's built-in audio transcript is only available for cloud recordings on paid plans, and its accuracy varies. Uploading the recording to TranscribTxt works on any plan (including free Zoom), for local recordings, and typically produces a more accurate transcript across 99 languages.
Is Zoom transcription free?
Yes. TranscribTxt's free plan transcribes 5 Zoom recordings per month at no cost, no credit card required. Pro ($12/month) removes the monthly limit and adds SRT export for captions.
How accurate is the Zoom transcript?
TranscribTxt uses ElevenLabs Scribe v2, around 2% word error rate on clear audio. Meetings recorded with good microphones transcribe at 97%+; calls with cross-talk, weak connections, or background noise are lower.
Can I transcribe Teams and Google Meet recordings too?
Yes. Any meeting recording saved as a video or audio file works — Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex and others. Download the recording and upload it the same way.
