📄 Transcriptions
Sessions AI-powered integration allows you to have real-time transcriptions during meetings, webinars, and workshops.
The great thing about the transcript is that, unlike other transcription services, it automatically identifies the language(s) spoken and the name of the participant who is speaking.
This means that during your session, each attendee can use their native language, and the transcription will identify it, making it possible to be translated into other languages.
Your sessions are now accessible to any non-native participant.
How to start the transcription:
Transcriptions do not automatically start when the session begins. They have to be enabled by the Host or Assistants. Once enabled, the transcription becomes available to all participants.
After the meeting ends, you can access and download the transcription as a PDF from Memory.
You can use the 🔎 Search feature to navigate easily to the part of the conversation that interests you. You can find it at the top right corner of your transcription window. It’s available during live sessions or events, but also in Memory once the session is finished.
Auto-start the transcript
The transcript for any session, booking, room, or event that hasn’t started yet can start automatically if enabled.
- Go to the Settings of that session, booking page, event, or room.
- Go to Automations.
- Enable Automatic transcribing.
- Save the changes you’ve made.
- Done. The transcript will now automatically start when the session or event goes live.
If you want to set the transcript to auto-start as the default preference for all future sessions, bookings, rooms, or events:
- Go to your Sessions profile (bottom left corner).
- Click on Account settings.
- Go to Session settings.
- Choose which type of gathering template you want to edit (Instant session, Planned session, Event, Booking, Room).
- Go to Automations.
- Enable Automatic transcribing.
- Click Save template.
- Done. From now on, all the meeting or event types you selected in step 4 will start the transcript automatically when it’s live.
📝 Translations
Translations are available in over 120 languages, making it easy for each of your attendees to have the meeting/event translated into their preferred language, in real time.
For translations to be available, the Host or Co-host must first enable transcriptions. Once enabled, transcriptions and translations become available for all participants.
Click the Translations button next to the Close (X) button to change the language.
✍️ Summary
Save time and energy by automatically generating the meeting’s minutes and action items. The AI-powered summary service takes the session or event’s transcript and extracts the most important aspects discussed.

- Click on Transcript.
- Click on AI Copilot.
- Give it a prompt. Click Generate.
- Click Use summary.
- Click Add to add it in Takeaways.
