Google Meet Transcript

Turn any Google Meet recording into a transcript in minutes — no bot, no manual cleanup. Record in Google Meet, download the meeting file, then upload it here to get searchable text, subtitles, summaries, and export-ready output.

Where transcription cleanup wastes the most time

  • Built for post-meeting workflow: download your Google Meet recording, then upload the file here for fast transcription.
  • No meeting bot required. Nothing joins your live call and there is no calendar integration to configure.
  • One upload can produce transcript text, speaker-labeled segments, subtitle files, summary highlights, and export formats.
  • Google Meet recordings from Drive are typically MP4 and can be uploaded directly — no pre-conversion workflow required.
  • Practical speed baseline: many 30–60 minute recorded meetings complete in minutes, not real-time playback length.
