Transcribe long Zoom and Teams meetings in Australia from the recording, not a bot.
A long Zoom or Teams meeting in Australia usually runs 2 to 3 hours, and once you have the recording it comes back here as text in about 5 minutes, with no bot joining the call. The first 20 minutes are free, and a $6 pack of 500 minutes holds three 2.5-hour meetings.
What happens after the meeting
The recording you already have, turned into decisions and a searchable record.
Nobody extra in the call
There is no assistant joining as a participant and no calendar access. Record the meeting the way you already do, then upload the file afterwards. Clients and external guests see an ordinary meeting.
Getting the file out
Zoom saves an MP4 and an audio-only M4A, locally or in the cloud; the M4A is smaller and uploads faster. A Teams recording is downloaded from where Teams saved it, then uploaded on upload page. A Google Drive share link also works.
Decisions and owners
The brief states what the meeting settled, and the names, dates and figures said are listed beside the text. Ask the chat 'what did we agree about the launch date' and it answers from the transcript.
Three hours, one clock
A long planning session or workshop stays as one file up to 10 hours, so the transcript has one set of timestamps instead of three part files pasted together.
Why long meetings lose their decisions
After three hours, nobody remembers exactly what was agreed in the first.
✗ Relying on notes and bots
Built-in captions and meeting bots suit a half-hour stand-up better than a long session.
- A bot in the attendee list
- Free tiers that stop well before three hours
- Captions files with no structure
- Action items nobody wrote down
- Re-watching to settle a disagreement
- Notes scattered across attendees
✓ Upload the recording afterwards
Upload once, then search, ask and export.
- A 2.5-hour call back in about 5 minutes
- No bot, no calendar access
- Attendees named in the summary and quotes
- Decisions and dates listed
- Chat over the transcript
- Minutes-ready DOCX plus TXT and JSON

FAQ
Long Zoom and Teams meetings, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour meeting take to transcribe?
Around six minutes. A 2-hour meeting takes about 4. Processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio, and you can leave the page while it runs.
What do weekly long meetings cost?
A 2.5-hour meeting every week is about 600 minutes a month. The $12 pack of 2,000 minutes covers just over three months of that, and a single meeting fits in the $6 pack. If several people in a team record every week, the $19 a month Workspace keeps the recordings together. These prices are in US dollars.
Does a bot need to join our meeting?
No. Nothing joins the live call. This works on the recording after the meeting ends, so you choose what gets uploaded.
How big can the meeting recording be?
A meeting file can reach 10 hours or 5 GB. Before the first pack, uploads go up to 2 GB, plenty for a few hours of Zoom video, and the audio-only M4A is smaller still.
Are attendees named?
Attendees are identified and named in the summary, the key quotes and the chapters. Meetings in any of 99 languages are detected automatically.
Which exports come back, and is the meeting private?
The export list is TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete a meeting and its text at any time.
