How do I transcribe a Zoom meeting?
Download your Zoom recording (from the cloud or your local Zoom folder), upload the MP4 or M4A to 1Transcribe, and get an accurate transcript with speaker labels in minutes — powered by OpenAI's Whisper. Then generate an AI summary with the decisions and action items. Recordings under 5 minutes are free; longer meetings up to 10 hours need a subscription.
Where to find your Zoom recording
Zoom saves meetings either to the cloud or locally on your computer:
- Cloud recordings: zoom.us → Recordings → download the MP4 (video) or M4A (audio).
- Local recordings: open your Documents/Zoom folder and grab the .mp4 / .m4a file.
- Upload it to 1Transcribe, pick a language, and download the transcript.
Summaries, action items, and speaker labels
A transcript is just the start. 1Transcribe automatically labels each speaker, and a one-click AI summary turns an hour-long call into the decisions, action items, and follow-ups — so you can share notes minutes after the meeting ends. Every transcript is searchable and exports to Word, PDF, SRT, or TXT.
Long meetings, kept private
Transcribe a single recording up to 10 hours without splitting it, at up to 99.9% accuracy even with cross-talk and accents. Your files are not used to train AI models and are automatically deleted after 14 days. Want to skip the download step? You can also record the meeting in the app — no bot joins the call.
