Meeting Transcription Guide

Meetings are where decisions happen, but capturing everything discussed is nearly impossible while actively participating. Recording helps, but nobody has time to re-watch hour-long meetings. 1bit.ai solves this by converting your meeting recordings into organized transcripts with speaker labels, timestamps, and AI-generated summaries. Never miss an action item or important decision again—our AI highlights key points so you can quickly review what matters.

Technical Specs

Our meeting transcription engine is optimized for multi-speaker conversations with varying audio quality. We support recordings from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and any other platform that exports MP4, M4A, or MP3 files. Speaker diarization identifies who said what, even with 10+ participants.

Meeting Recording Setup Guide

Professional techniques to maximize transcription accuracy and streamline your audio to text workflow

Enable Original Sound in Zoom

In Zoom audio settings, enable "Original Sound" and "High fidelity music mode." This disables aggressive noise suppression that can remove important speech information.

Mute When Not Speaking

Encourage participants to mute when not talking. Background noise from multiple unmuted participants significantly reduces transcription accuracy and makes speaker identification harder.

Record Locally, Not to Cloud

Local recordings maintain higher audio quality than cloud recordings. Upload the local file to 1bit.ai for transcription instead of downloading from Zoom/Teams cloud storage.

Identify Speakers Early

Have participants introduce themselves at the start, or use a round-robin check-in. This helps AI map voices to names and improves speaker label accuracy throughout the meeting.
