Does PodText join my live meeting?

No. PodText doesn't have a bot that joins calls and doesn't do real-time transcription during the meeting. You record the meeting yourself in Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, then upload the finished recording file afterward.

Where do I get my Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet recording file?

Each platform saves recordings differently: Zoom stores cloud or local recordings you can download as MP4/M4A from your account; Teams recordings save to OneDrive or SharePoint; Google Meet recordings save to Google Drive. Download the file, then upload it to PodText.

How does PodText handle multiple speakers?

PodText formats multi-speaker discussion into clean, readable paragraphs and turns so meetings are easy to follow. It does not identify or name individual speakers — you get skimmable text rather than per-speaker labels.

Does it integrate with my calendar or CRM?

No. PodText doesn't sync with your calendar or any CRM — you upload a recording file directly and get a transcript back. There's no automatic capture of meetings.

How long can a meeting recording be?

Recordings up to 500MB and 3 hours are supported per file — enough for most standups, calls, and even long workshops or all-hands.

What languages does it support?

PodText transcribes meetings in 99+ languages with automatic language detection, including Chinese.

How Meeting Transcription Works

What happens when you upload a recorded meeting, and what you get back.

Most video call tools — Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams — let you record a meeting and save it as an audio or video file once the call ends. PodText picks up from there: you upload that recording, and it gets transcribed into accurate, readable text.

Because meetings usually have multiple speakers, PodText formats the discussion into clean, readable paragraphs, with timestamps so you can jump back to any moment. For longer meetings, an AI-generated summary highlights the key points without asking anyone to read the entire transcript.

PodText doesn't join your calls or record them for you — it works with the recording file you already have. Once uploaded, most meetings are transcribed in minutes, ready to search, edit, and export as TXT, Markdown, SRT, or VTT.
