Virtual meetings have become an integral part of the culture in remote work environments, allowing teams to connect and collaborate from any location.
However, the downside of virtual meetings is that they can sometimes be challenging to follow, especially if you miss essential pieces of information.
Transcription services are a great solution to this problem, allowing you to turn your meetings into written records that are easy to review and share.
Google Meet is just one of the many tools for transcribing your meetings. In 2020, Google Meet reported an increase of 3 million new users daily. The app particularly empowers schools and workplaces with numerous advantages.
We will guide you through the process of transcribing your Google Meet meetings.
Additionally, we will explore other human transcription services available, enabling you to choose the best option for your specific needs.
So, whether you're looking for a quick and easy way to transcribe your meetings or a more personalized approach, we've got you covered.
Google Meet competes with Zoom and Microsoft Teams in quality audio and video streaming sessions. Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced in April 2020 that Meet had reached 100 million daily users. Meet consistently adds new features to compete with its rivals.
You can use Google Meet to share files such as spreadsheets and images within a connected community. As many as 500 people can join a video call from your organization's inner or outer circles.
One of the standout features of Google Meet is its transcription feature-a function that enables users to transcribe their meetings in real time.
The transcription feature in Google Meet uses Google's advanced speech recognition technology to transcribe the spoken words of a meeting’s participants into text.
To activate the transcription feature, users can click the "captions" button in the bottom right-hand corner of their meeting screen.

AI transcription technology isn't fully accurate in detecting meaning or intent from speech.
In contrast, human transcriptionists provide a foolproof option because they can analyze and verify spoken words that AI software has yet to achieve fully. Here's a breakdown of the disadvantages that Google Meet presents:

The cost for a Google Meeting transcription will depend on whether it's an audio-only or an audio-visual (video) file. Additionally, the recording quality, the number of speakers, and turnaround time can increase your transcription cost.
GMR Transcription offers affordable rates for transcription services depending on the number of speakers and turnaround time.
For clear audio with up to two speakers, same-day service costs $3.50 per minute, while next-day service costs $3.00 per minute. The rates for three or more speakers are $4.00 per minute for same-day service and $3.50 per minute for next-day service.
In the case of difficult audio conditions, additional charges may apply.
