Private meeting transcription
Private meeting transcription without a meeting bot
Private meeting transcription means controlling where the recording is processed, where the transcript is stored and who can search it. TryScriptorium is designed around a recording you already have: upload it, transcribe it, correct it and keep the result in a searchable workspace.
No bot needs to join the call
For local use, TryScriptorium can record a browser tab or screen with its audio, then turn that recording into text. For an existing Zoom, Teams or Meet recording, upload the file directly. There is no claim that a bot joins or manages your meeting, because it does not.
Make the transcript useful after the meeting
Every line carries a timestamp so you can return to the audio. Speaker labels make a conversation easier to read, although important attributions should always be checked. Search across the library finds a phrase later without reopening every recording. Export the finished version as text, captions, Markdown, JSON or CSV.
Privacy depends on deployment
On this hosted site, a file is sent over HTTPS to the Scriptorium server and is processed there. On your own installation, processing and storage remain on the machine or server you control. Neither mode should be described as the other; see self-hosted transcription for the distinction.
Before you record
Get the consent required where you work, tell participants how the recording will be used and set an appropriate retention policy. Automatic transcription is a working draft, not evidence: verify names, decisions, dates, numbers and quotations against the original audio.
Get started
Try a non-sensitive recording in the hosted workspace, or use the deployment documentation to run the software on your own infrastructure.
