How to Transcribe and Translate a Meeting in Real Time

Meetings move fast. Between action items, decisions, and side discussions, it’s easy to miss something. Real-time transcription captures everything so you can focus on the conversation instead of your notes.

Starting a Live Transcription

From Your Browser

Go to interpretapp.ai, open the Transcribe page, and start a session. Grant microphone access and start talking. The transcript appears in real time.

From the Desktop App

If your meeting is on a video call, the Interpret AI desktop app captures audio directly from your computer. This means it works with any conferencing tool — no plugins, no integrations, no browser extensions. Just start the desktop app and it transcribes whatever audio is playing on your machine.

Real-Time Speaker Differentiation

Interpret AI automatically identifies different speakers and labels them in the transcript. In a meeting with four people, you’ll see each person’s contributions clearly separated and attributed. No manual setup required — the AI detects speaker changes on its own.

This is especially valuable for:

• Meeting minutes — know exactly who said what
• Action items — attribute commitments to the right person
• Legal or compliance contexts — maintain an accurate record of who made which statements

Live Translation

If your meeting includes people who speak different languages, enable live translation. Each participant can view the transcript in their preferred language from 70+ options. They can also toggle Live Audio to hear a translated version spoken by AI.

Share the broadcast link with remote participants and they’ll see the live translated transcript on their phone or laptop.

After the Meeting

Every meeting transcript is saved automatically with full audio. Open it in the transcript editor to:

• Play back the recording synced to the transcript — click any word to jump to that exact moment
• Word-level timestamps make it easy to find the part where a specific decision was made
• Edit the transcript for accuracy — fix names, technical terms, or misheard words
• Translate the full transcript into additional languages for international team members
• Share the transcript with people who couldn’t attend

Who Uses This

• Remote teams who need meeting notes without a dedicated note-taker
• International teams who meet across language barriers
• Managers who need to review what was discussed and decided
• Consultants who need accurate records of client conversations

Pricing

Most professionals find the Standard plan covers their weekly meetings. Teams with daily calls or long sessions should look at Pro or Enterprise.
