How to Transcribe a Google Meet Call

To transcribe a Google Meet call, record it with the LiteScribe Chrome extension or desktop app and watch the transcript build live, or upload a Google Meet recording from Drive. LiteScribe adds speaker labels, an AI summary, action items, and topic tags automatically, in 100+ languages.

How it works

  1. 1

    Start recording

    Use the LiteScribe Chrome extension or desktop app, join your Google Meet call, and click record. Live transcription appears in real time.

  2. 2

    Or import from Drive

    Connect Google Drive and import a saved Google Meet recording directly, with no manual download needed.

  3. 3

    Add AI summaries

    Every transcript comes with speaker diarization, an AI summary, action items, and topic tags so the highlights are ready instantly.

  4. 4

    Ask, edit, and export

    Edit the transcript, ask AI questions across the call, then export to DOCX, PDF, PPTX, TXT, or SRT for sharing.

When the recording should stay on your machine

Some recordings are not worth uploading anywhere, whatever the tool promises. For a saved file, the LiteScribe desktop app offers offline transcription on your own hardware, running the speech model and the AI summary locally so the recording never leaves your computer. The web and mobile apps transcribe in the cloud, so this is a desktop-only path. See the desktop app's Local Mode for what runs where.
