How it works
- 01
Record and download the Zoom meeting
In Zoom, click "Record" during the meeting. Local recording: the file is saved in Documents/Zoom/{meeting_date_name}/ as .mp4. Cloud recording: go to zoom.us → Recordings → Download the video file (.mp4) or audio only (.m4a).
- 02
Upload to VoxScriber
Drag the .mp4 or .m4a file into the area above. The system automatically extracts audio from video — no conversion needed. For a 1-hour meeting, results arrive in 2-3 minutes.
- 03
Get the transcription with identified speakers
The AI identifies each participant automatically ("Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", etc.). Export in DOCX to generate meeting minutes in Word or in TXT to copy and paste into your internal system.
Frequently asked questions
How do I transcribe a recorded Zoom meeting?
Process: 1) In the Zoom meeting, click "Record" → choose local or cloud. 2) After the meeting, go to zoom.us → Recordings (for cloud) or the Documents/Zoom folder on your computer. 3) Download the .mp4 file. 4) Go to voxscriber.com and upload. 5) Wait 2-3 min for 1 hour of recording. 6) Export meeting minutes in DOCX.
Where are Zoom recordings saved on my computer?
Local recording on Windows: C:\Users\[your_user]\Documents\Zoom\[meeting_name]. Local recording on Mac: ~/Documents/Zoom/[meeting_name]. The folder usually contains: one .mp4 file (video), one .m4a (audio only), and one .txt (meeting chat).
Can I transcribe cloud Zoom recordings?
Yes. Zoom cloud recordings are accessible at zoom.us → Recordings. Click the meeting → "Download" → select the video file (.mp4) or audio (.m4a). Then upload to VoxScriber. Note: cloud recording is only available on paid Zoom plans.
Does the Zoom transcription identify who is speaking?
Yes. VoxScriber uses speaker diarization — the AI identifies different voices and labels them as "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", etc. It works best when participants speak one at a time (no overlap) and have distinct voices. The exact number of speakers is detected automatically.
What is the difference between native Zoom transcription and VoxScriber?
Native Zoom transcription is only available on the Business+ plan (starting at $19.99/month per license) and with limited accuracy for many languages. VoxScriber works with any Zoom plan (including free), has significantly higher accuracy for English and 70+ languages, and exports in professional formats (DOCX, SRT, PDF).
How do I automatically generate meeting minutes from Zoom?
With VoxScriber: 1) Transcribe the recording. 2) The text already includes speaker labels and timestamps. 3) Export in DOCX. 4) Use ChatGPT or another LLM to generate the summary: paste the transcription and ask "Generate meeting minutes with attendees, discussion points, and action items". 5) Review and distribute.
Does it work with Zoom on mobile?
Recordings in the Zoom mobile app are available only in the cloud (no local recording on mobile). Access zoom.us from your computer browser, download the recording, and upload to VoxScriber.
