If you need to change the language, click on the gear wheel icon to adjust your selection. The transcription will commence automatically in the chosen language and can be modified at any time during the meeting.
Benefits of Live Transcription
The transcribed text is accessible throughout the meeting, providing valuable support for: - **Late Arrivals**: Participants who join the meeting after it has started can catch up on what has been discussed. - **Hearing Impairments**: Individuals with hearing difficulties can follow along with the transcribed text.
Accessing Transcription After the Meeting
After the meeting concludes, the transcription file can be accessed in two ways: - **Meeting Details**: Click on the designated area in the meeting details to find the transcription file. - **Chat Channel**: The history of spoken words will also be available in the meeting's chat channel. You have the option to delete the transcription or download it in either Word or VTT format for further editing.
