Q: After reading the following Q and A , one could assume that you were not so hard about uploading files as a main use !!

and thus customers may have purchased who do not have paid zoom accounts, do you want them to refund or will you facilitate their use case ?

Q Can I upload an audio or video file I want to transcribe ?

A Hi and thanks for your question!

Although our main use is through Zoom (paying accounts) and Microsoft Teams, we have big plans and we intend to release soon integrations
for other major conferencing platforms. If you don’t use Zoom or Microsoft Teams, you can still upload audio or video files and obtain similar results.

Hopefully this information helps!

Q This app looks fantastic.

You mentioned in the introduction that you can upload audio and video files.

Does this mean I can upload:
1) previously recorded podcasts?
2) Youtube & Vimeo videos?
3) Previously recorded (stored on a computer/Google Drive) videos?

Thank you in advance for your response.

A Hi there,

You can upload any media file (.mp4, .mp3, .wav, .mpeg, .avi). You can check the status of the analysis on the Uploads page
and you will receive an email when the output is available.
Also, the Uploads have a separate section in your past meetings collection.

Thank you,
Iulian

Q Instead of uploading a video or audio, can I just play the video/audio and have the words transcribed as found in otter.ai

A We have in the roadmap the possibility to press a button and record while getting the transcription.

I've made a note to prioritize this.

Q You mentioned that uploading audio and video files is a possibility (this is good news for those of us who use the Zoom free version or something else).
Is the transcription output quality any different from natively-recorded calls in Zoom premium? Are there any disadvantages
(other than the time and inconvenience) to uploading audio/video files ourselves?

A Hi there,

There is no difference in the transcription quality!
Using Zoom natively will give you the speaker names and some extra metrics.
Uploading gives you the speaker number and almost all of the MG functionality.
