How to transcribe a Google Meet meeting

Get an accurate, searchable transcript and AI summary of any Google Meet call, automatically, in 50+ languages.

Google Meet's native transcription is limited to certain Workspace plans and a handful of languages. If you want a transcript of every meeting, in any language, on any plan, the simplest path is the RecordMeeting Chrome extension. It records the call in your browser and produces a transcript, summary, and action items the moment the meeting ends.

Steps

1

Install the RecordMeeting extension

Install the RecordMeeting Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. Sign in with your Google account when prompted. It's free to start and no credit card is required.
2

Record your Meet call

Click the RecordMeeting button inside the Meet interface to start recording. No bot joins the call. Audio and video are captured locally in your browser.
3

Wait for the transcript to process

When you leave the call, the recording uploads and the transcript is generated automatically using OpenAI Whisper. Most meetings are ready within a few minutes of ending.
4

Read, search, or export the transcript

Open the meeting in your workspace to read the full transcript with timestamps and speaker labels. Search inside it, copy the text, or download as TXT, DOCX, or SRT subtitles.
5

Get the AI summary

Alongside the transcript, RecordMeeting generates a summary, key topics, and a list of action items so you don't have to skim the whole call to find what matters.

Can I download the transcript?

Yes. Transcripts can be downloaded as plain text, DOCX, or SRT subtitle files. You can also copy and paste directly from the in-app viewer.
