How it works

Free Microsoft Teams transcription without a card

  1. 1

    Download it

    More options is pressed, Download is chosen, and the MP4 file lands on the computer.

  2. 2

    Send the file to the engine

    Drop the file of the Teams recording on the widget above, set the language and switch the speaker split on when more than one person talks.

  3. 3

    Read the text, fix a name

    The text comes back one segment per line, with the start and the end time of every piece. A wrong name is fixed in the editor.

  4. 4

    Export and send it on

    Take TXT for a plain text, SRT or VTT when the Teams recording has to become a subtitled video, and DOCX for a review on Pro.

The result

What comes back from the engine

  • TXT

    One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.

  • TXT, CSV

    The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.

  • SRT, VTT

    SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.

  • Markdown, DOCX

    The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.

The facts

What the service takes, and what the free plan gives

The case

What the free plan does not give you

Microsoft Teams keeps the file, and keeping the file is not the same as keeping the text. What the file of the Teams recording cannot do is answer a question asked three weeks later. Our engine reads the file of the Teams recording and returns it as text, with the start and the end of every piece.

Tips

  • Turn on the split by speaker when more than two people talk in the Teams recording.

  • Give the speakers of the Teams recording their names in the editor, one time, and export again.

  • Send the audio track of the Teams recording when the platform gives you both.

  • The audio of the Teams recording is smaller than the video of the same call.

  • Export SRT when the Teams recording has to become a subtitled video.
