Enabling Live Transcription in Zoom
Modified on: Thu, Mar 28 2024 8:23 AMThis article will show you how to enable the Live Transcription feature within a Zoom meeting, as well as provide you with an example of what participants will see. This feature uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) to generate immediate closed captions while they are being spoken. {Please keep in mind most ASR transcription results in approximately 70-80% accuracy.}
By default, Live Transcription can now also be enabled by meeting participants.
- Launch your Zoom meeting.
- Click the Live Transcript button found on the Zoom meeting toolbar (may be found under More).
- Click Enable Auto-Transcription.
- If you want to disable live transcription, click Live Transcript again and select Disable Auto-Transcription.
Hosts and participants will have the option to hide the subtitles for their own view, view the full transcript, or adjust the size of the subtitles by clicking on the Live Transcript button on the Zoom meeting toolbar.
From a mobile device, live transcription can be enabled or disabled by going to Settings > Meeting and toggling the Show Closed Captioning (when available) setting.
