Zoom now has a new “Live Transcription” feature which was enabled on K-State’s account on Jan. 25. Zoom Live Transcripts provides live automatic speech recognition transcripts in real-time for meetings and webinars.
The host of a meeting or webinar must enable the feature in their profile settings. Participants will be notified if Zoom Live Transcripts have been turned on for the meeting or webinar. Participants can choose whether or not to view the transcripts.
See the Zoom Live Transcripts knowledge base article for instructions on how to use this feature. If you have any questions, contact the IT Help Desk (helpdesk@k-state.edu).
NOTE: Zoom or Microsoft Teams automatic transcription provides value for all meetings, however, this feature is not a replacement for an accommodation. Meetings, classes or webinars that include one or more individuals with documented reasonable accommodations by the Student Access Center or Human Capital Services (such as remote real-time captioning or closed captioning) must include a live captioner and other accommodations as documented. Automatic transcription is not as reliable as professional services.
