Zoom Meeting Transcription Guide

Zoom meetings generate hours of valuable discussion every week, but without a transcript, decisions and action items get lost in re-watches and fragmented notes. 1bit.ai connects directly to your Zoom recording exports—upload the MP4 or M4A file, or paste the shared recording link—and delivers a speaker-labeled transcript in minutes. Our AI identifies each participant, marks timestamps, and extracts the action items and decisions discussed so your team can move forward without another meeting.

Technical Specs

1bit.ai supports all Zoom recording export formats: local MP4 video recordings, M4A audio-only recordings, and cloud recording shared links. Our multi-speaker diarization engine handles up to 20+ participants and adapts to Zoom's compressed audio codec, ensuring accurate attribution even in large group calls with varying microphone quality.

Getting the Best Zoom Transcription Results

Expert techniques for generating Zoom Meeting video subtitles and transcripts with perfect timing

Record Locally for Best Quality

In Zoom settings, choose "Local Recording" over cloud recording. Local MP4 files retain higher audio quality than Zoom's cloud-compressed versions, resulting in 5-10% better transcription accuracy.

Enable Original Sound

In Zoom audio settings, turn on "Original Sound" and disable "Automatically adjust microphone volume." This prevents Zoom's noise suppression from clipping soft speech that the transcription engine needs.

Identify Speakers at the Start

Begin meetings with a quick round of introductions. Saying "Hi, this is [name]" gives our AI a voice sample to map each participant, improving speaker label accuracy throughout the transcript.

Trim Silence Before Uploading

Remove the waiting-room period (before the meeting starts) from the recording before uploading. This reduces processing time and prevents generic "no audio" segments appearing in your transcript.
