Live Meeting Transcription

Live mode provides low-latency voice transcription and translation, allowing you to see the real-time transcript while the meeting is in progress.

Start Recording

After creating a meeting record, click "Start Recording" to begin live transcription.

The system will:

1. Create a real-time communication room (LiveKit)

2. Start the speech recognition engine

3. Begin receiving microphone audio and transcribing in real time

Transcription View

During recording, the screen displays in real time:

• Recording Timer: Shows the elapsed recording time

• Live Transcript: Speech recognition results appear on screen in real time

• Speaker Labels: Indicate the speaker for each text segment

• Language Tags: Display the original language of each text segment

• Translation Results: If translation is enabled, translated text appears below the original text

• Transcription Statistics: Number of completed segments, in-progress segments, and total word count

• Local Backup Status: "Recording Local Backup" appears below the meeting name, indicating that the browser is simultaneously recording a backup audio file so no audio is lost if the network disconnects. See Meeting Record Backup Audio for details

Low-latency Real-time Transcription

The core feature of live mode is low latency — transcribed text appears on screen within seconds of speaking, allowing participants to verify the record in real time.

Low-latency Real-time Translation

When translation is enabled, the system translates content into the specified target languages simultaneously with transcription, also with low latency:

• Supports up to 3 target languages for simultaneous translation

• Translation is processed in real time by the selected LLM model

• Translation results are attached below each transcript segment

• Ideal for international meetings and multilingual team communication

After Recording Ends

After clicking "Stop Recording," the meeting status changes to "Processing" and the system performs the following in the background:

1. Audio Conversion: Convert the raw audio to MP3 format

2. Transcript Organization: Organize live transcription results into a structured transcript file

3. Cloud Storage: Upload the audio and transcript to S3 storage

Once processing is complete, the status automatically updates to "Completed," and you can access the meeting detail page to view the full content. The local backup audio uploads and merges in the background. When complete, the details page displays "Backup Complete." See Meeting Record Backup Audio for details.
