Transcribe long Zoom and Teams meetings in Japan from the recording, with no bot in the room.
A recorded Zoom or Teams meeting from Japan of 2 to 3 hours is uploaded as a file after the call, with no bot joining, and comes back in about 2 minutes per audio hour, so 2.5 hours takes roughly 5 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and a $6 pack of 500 minutes covers three 2.5-hour meetings.
After the meeting, not during it
The recording file in, the decisions and owners out.
No guest in the meeting
Nothing joins your call and nobody has to approve an extra participant. Record the meeting as usual, then upload the file upload page.
Where the file is
A Zoom local recording is saved to your computer as MP4 video with a separate M4A audio file, and either uploads. A Teams recording is downloaded first from wherever your organisation stores it, then uploaded as a file.
Decisions and owners, listed
The brief sets out what was decided and the takeaways, and the names, numbers and dates said in the meeting are listed. Attendees are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.
A quarter of weekly meetings
Thirteen weekly meetings of 2 hours are 1,560 minutes. The $12 pack of 2,000 minutes covers the quarter and leaves 440.
Why long meeting recordings go unread
A 3-hour recording is easy to save and hard to use.

FAQ
Long meeting recordings from Japan, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour meeting take to transcribe?
Roughly 6 minutes, since each audio hour takes about 2. A 2-hour meeting is usually ready in about 4. Close the tab if you like; it is saved to your Library.
What do long meetings cost?
A 2.5-hour meeting is 150 minutes, so the $6 pack of 500 minutes holds three of them with 50 left. A quarter of weekly 2-hour meetings is 1,560 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000. A team that records every week can also look at the $19 monthly Workspace.
What size limit applies to the recording?
A recording can be up to 5 GB and 10 hours; before the first pack, uploads stop at 2 GB. The audio-only M4A from a Zoom local recording is the smallest file to send.
What if a call runs longer than 10 hours?
As two files. That is rare for a meeting, but a full-day workshop on a call can reach it; cut at the lunch break.
Does it handle Japanese meetings with English participants?
Japanese and English are both detected automatically, among 99 languages. A mixed meeting is detected on its main language, so English contributions in a mainly Japanese meeting deserve a check.
Which exports are available, and does anyone else hear the meeting?
Take TXT or DOCX for the notes, SRT or VTT if the video is shared, and JSON for your own systems. Internal discussions stay internal: recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
