Working in a second language
Since I work professionally in a language that isn't my native language, accurate transcriptions help me work with much greater precision and confidence.

- Meeting summaries
The Whisper product is amazing and so darn accurate. It has made summarizing meetings so much less stressful.
- Subtitles in 3 languages
Your tool is really effective and helps me enormously in my work. I use it to create subtitles for my songs, which I produce in French, English, and Spanish.
- Onboarding & performance
I was very impressed with all aspects of the onboarding and performance of the software… Will definitely use the product again and have referred it to several friends.
- Fast turnaround
It transcribed a 14-minute audio file in only a few seconds… You gave me exactly the experience I was hoping for.
- A team that listens
I'm truly glad I came across WhisperAI, and it's equally reassuring to know that there's a team behind it that listens carefully to its users and puts so much effort into continuously improving and polishing the small details.

How do I transcribe a Zoom meeting?
To transcribe a Zoom meeting live with WhisperAI, join the meeting from your browser in Chrome or Edge, start a New Live Recording in WhisperAI, choose Microphone + tab audio, and share the Zoom tab with its audio. The transcript appears as people speak. To transcribe it afterwards, upload the Zoom recording (the MP4, or the audio-only M4A) and WhisperAI returns a transcript with speaker labels.
How do I transcribe a Zoom recording?
Upload the recording file to WhisperAI. A Zoom local recording saves an MP4 video and an M4A audio file to your computer, by default in a Zoom folder inside Documents; a cloud recording can be downloaded from the Recordings page of the Zoom web portal. Either file works, up to 5GB, and the transcript comes back with speaker labels in minutes.
Does a bot join my Zoom call?
No. WhisperAI does not add a bot or an extra participant to the Zoom meeting. It records your microphone and the browser tab the meeting is in, so the other participants see no notetaker join and the host doesn't need to admit anyone.
Does it work with the Zoom desktop app?
On Windows and ChromeOS, yes: share your entire screen with system audio when you start the WhisperAI recording. On macOS and Linux the browser cannot capture the Zoom desktop app, so join the meeting from your browser instead, or upload the Zoom recording when the meeting ends.
Doesn't Zoom have its own transcription?
Zoom can produce its own transcripts, depending on your Zoom plan and recording settings. WhisperAI works whatever your Zoom plan is, because it transcribes what your browser hears or the file you upload, and it adds speaker labels you can rename, live translation, 100+ languages for recordings, and a Meeting Summary with decisions and action items on Business Pro and above.
Can I get a summary of a Zoom meeting?
Yes. When you stop a live recording, WhisperAI writes a Meeting Summary with an overview, the key decisions, and action items with owners, which you can share as a link or email. Meeting summaries are included on Business Pro, Enterprise and the Developer API plan.
Is Zoom transcription free?
You can start free. Live recording and the live transcript work on every WhisperAI plan within its minutes, and the free plan includes 5 minutes a month with no credit card. Paid plans add minutes or remove the limit.
