All Askable Sessions recordings are transcribed by default. Our transcription is built on the latest AI breakthroughs with 98.5% accuracy, and does a great job even with thick accents.
Assign and update a speaker
Assign new speaker
When the transcript is first created, you'll notice that speaker names are generic. You can customise this by assigning a speaker from the attendee list of the call. To choose from the list click on 'Speaker a, b, c etc.' and then choose the correct speaker from the list. Once you assign a name to a speaker, it is updated throughout the whole transcript.
Updating a speaker
Sometimes a speaker could be wrong even after you have assigned names from the list. To update a speaker just click the speaker name above the section you would like to update and reassign the speaker.
If you choose the 'change across transcript' option from the dropdown, it will update every instance of that speaker in the whole transcript.
Interacting with the transcript
We've kept the features you loved! You can still play a word in the transcript, and the video will seamlessly jump to the corresponding section. Plus, playing the timestamp of an utterance remains as effortless as ever.
Downloading a transcript

If you see the below screen that states 'Transcript unavailable', it means there is no transcript available for the session. This may happen for various reasons, but the most common are:
No audio was detected during the session
The session is older than the transcription feature
