From recording to meeting notes

Meeting recordings are long and hard to search. A transcript lets you skim the discussion, copy decisions into your notes and quote people accurately. HeyCaptions transcribes MP4 and M4A recordings from Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and other tools in 99 languages.

Turn on timestamps to see exactly when each topic came up.

Confidential by default

Recordings are processed on our own servers only to create your transcript and are deleted automatically when you’re done. They’re never shared or used to train AI.
