Hmm, about a year ago when I was on Zoom meetings we could get a transcript that was generated of the whole meeting, along with a recording of the meeting.

Was this feature removed at some point? One of my coworkers would export the meeting conversation and save it in slack. While it wasn't always perfect with the captioning, it worked well enough!

Transcript and captions are different

Captions are real time anD allow at least some element of inclusive participation.

A transcript is not really accessible

Ah! Thanks for the distinction! I couldn't remember if the transcription was happening in real time during the call, or if we just exported it afterwards. I hope the Zoom team adds real time soon!
