Live Transcription for Google Meet
Real-time captions for every Google Meet call. No admin permissions, no bots, no one gets notified. Works with any Google Workspace account.
Why Transcribe Google Meet Calls?
Google Meet's built-in captions support only a handful of languages and require a Workspace admin to enable transcription features. Even when turned on, there is no way to export a live transcript during the call. TranscribeAudio captures audio directly from your Chrome tab and transcribes it in 57 languages using OpenAI's Whisper-based speech recognition, which achieves a 4.2% word error rate on standard benchmarks.
No Admin Permissions Required
Tools like Otter.ai and Fireflies.ai require calendar integrations or API access that your Google Workspace admin may need to approve. TranscribeAudio works entirely in your browser tab. Install the Chrome extension, join your Google Meet call, and click Start. No Google Workspace configuration is involved, no bot joins your meeting room, and no one on the call is notified.
Real-Time Captions Alongside Your Video Call
TranscribeAudio shows live captions in a floating overlay that sits on top of the Google Meet interface. Drag it to any position on your screen so it does not block the video grid, participant list, or chat panel. Captions update in real time as people speak, letting you read along while staying engaged in the conversation.
Works with Google Workspace and Personal Accounts
TranscribeAudio works whether you are on Google Workspace Business, Enterprise, Education, or a free personal Gmail account. There are no restrictions on Google's side because TranscribeAudio does not use Google's APIs. It captures audio from your browser tab and sends it to OpenAI for transcription.

よくある質問
Does TranscribeAudio need Google Workspace admin permissions?
No. TranscribeAudio captures audio from your Chrome browser tab, not through Google's API. Your Workspace admin does not need to enable anything. It works with free Gmail accounts, Google Workspace Business, Enterprise, and Education accounts equally.
Does a bot join my Google Meet call?
No. TranscribeAudio captures tab audio locally in your browser. No bot or participant is added to your meeting, and no one on the call is notified that you are transcribing.
How does this compare to Google Meet's built-in captions?
