How to transcribe Google Meet calls: Complete implementation guide for async meeting transcription
Blog post from Gladia
The guide provides an in-depth look at the methods for transcribing Google Meet calls using technologies outside of Google's native transcription capabilities, which have limitations such as no real-time API access and a lack of speaker diarization. It explores three main architectural approaches for capturing audio: using a headless browser bot, a Chrome extension, or the Google Meet Media API, with each method presenting its own set of advantages and challenges. The importance of selecting a robust speech-to-text (STT) API is emphasized, considering factors such as accuracy, language handling, and the ability to manage multilingual and code-switching audio. The guide also outlines the economic and technical considerations for implementing these transcription solutions at scale, highlighting Gladia's offerings, which include features like speaker diarization and real-time transcription within their pricing model. Additionally, it addresses data governance and compliance aspects vital for handling sensitive meeting audio, ensuring the solution is secure and aligned with privacy regulations.
