Meeting recordings are one of the most underused assets in any team. They sit in a cloud storage folder, rarely watched, while the decisions and action items from the call slowly fade from memory. A transcript changes that — it makes the meeting searchable, shareable, and actionable in minutes.
Here's how to transcribe any Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Webex recording for free — no special software needed.
Dokitscript works with recordings from any meeting platform — it doesn't matter which tool you use, as long as you have the recording file.
File size tip: A 1-hour Zoom recording is typically 200-400MB — larger than the free plan limit. Compress the audio track first (most video editors can export audio-only as MP3 at 32kbps, which reduces a 1-hour file to ~15MB) before uploading.
Log in to the Zoom web portal → Recordings → find your meeting → click Download next to the MP4 file. Cloud recordings can also be downloaded directly from the email link Zoom sends after the meeting ends.
Google Meet recordings are automatically saved to the meeting organizer's Google Drive. Open Drive → find the recording file in the "Meet Recordings" folder → right-click → Download.
Teams recordings go to SharePoint or OneDrive. Find the recording in the meeting chat thread → click the three dots → Download. Admins may need to enable download permissions.
The most valuable use of a meeting transcript isn't reading it line by line — it's using AI to extract what matters. After transcribing, Dokitscript's AI panel gives you:
This is the same AI workflow that works for podcast and audio content. See also how to create show notes from audio recordings for a related use case.
For meetings with multiple participants, knowing who said what matters as much as what was said. Dokitscript's Business plan includes speaker detection powered by AssemblyAI — it automatically identifies and labels different speakers in the transcript.
The result looks like:
Speaker labels are set automatically. You can rename them ("Speaker A" → "Sarah") in the transcript view.
Meeting minutes — stop taking notes during calls. Record, transcribe, run Key Points. Your minutes write themselves.
Async updates — send the summary paragraph to teammates who couldn't attend. They get the context without watching the full recording.
Legal and compliance — keep a searchable text record of client calls, board meetings, or contract discussions.
Training recordings — transcribe onboarding or training session recordings so new team members can search and reference the content.
Upload any MP4 or audio file. Free plan includes 5 transcriptions and 3 AI uses per month — no credit card required.
