Speaker 10:03

Quick agenda: launch checklist, the pricing-page test, and hiring. First up — where are we on the checklist?

Speaker 20:13

Eighteen of twenty-two items done. The two real blockers are the status page and the billing emails — both are waiting on review.

Speaker 30:25

I can take the billing emails today. If the copy gets approved by Thursday, we stay on schedule.

Speaker 10:34

Good. Action items: Dana reviews the status page, Sam ships the emails Thursday. Next — the pricing test.

When a Zoom meeting ends, the recording lands in two places: cloud recordings in your Zoom account, or — for local recordings — a Documents/Zoom folder on your computer containing a video file and a smaller audio-only .m4a. Either one works here. Upload the audio-only file if you have it; it carries everything the transcript needs and uploads in a fraction of the time.

The transcript comes back with each participant separated and labeled, with timestamps throughout. That is the raw material for everything a meeting is supposed to produce: minutes you can circulate, action items with the exact wording that was agreed, and decisions you can quote later instead of reconstructing from memory a week after the call.

What makes this different from the current crop of meeting-AI tools: nothing joins your call. No "notetaker has joined the meeting" banner, no third-party participant your clients have to consent to, no standing integration listening to every meeting on your calendar. You choose which recordings become transcripts, after the fact, one file at a time — and each file is automatically deleted once its transcript is ready.

Works with what Zoom already saved

The MP4 video or the audio-only M4A from a local or downloaded cloud recording both work. The M4A is smaller and transcribes identically.

Speaker-labeled, meeting-ready text

Each participant’s words are separated and timestamped — the structure minutes, action items, and follow-up emails are built from.

After the call, not inside it

No bot attends your meeting and no integration watches your calendar. You transcribe only the recordings you choose, and each file is auto-deleted afterwards.

Transcribe a Zoom Recording: frequently asked questions

Which Zoom file should I upload — the MP4 or the M4A?

Either. Local recordings include an audio-only .m4a alongside the .mp4 video; the M4A is much smaller and produces the same transcript. For cloud recordings, download whichever file Zoom offers and upload it.

Does anything join my Zoom meetings?

No. There is no bot, no calendar integration, and no live connection to Zoom. You upload a recording file after the meeting has ended — nothing about your call changes.

Will the transcript show who said what?

Yes. Each voice is separated and given its own label with timestamps, so a four-person call stays readable. Labels are generic (Speaker 1, Speaker 2…) — you can map them to names in one find-and-replace.

I only have a local recording with no Zoom transcript. Is that enough?

Yes — that is the exact case this is built for. Zoom’s own transcription only covers certain cloud recordings; a local recording file is all you need here.

What does it cost per meeting?

$2 per audio hour with a $2 minimum, per recording. A weekly one-hour meeting costs $2 to transcribe — no per-seat subscription, no plan.
