Google Meet Transcription API

Get meeting transcripts from Google Meet with a single API

Two form factors to capture meeting transcripts the way you want

The fastest way to pull transcripts, video recordings, audio recordings, and metadata, in real time or post-meeting. Recall.ai's Google Meet bot API & Desktop Recording SDK provide all the functionality you need from a meeting transcription API through one unified endpoint.

One API to get transcripts in real time or post-meeting for every platform

Go beyond Google Meet with ease. The transcription API automatically expands to Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, and more with no additional engineering required.

"When you're building a note taker, one of the most important things is reliability. If your notetaker doesn’t show up when customers expect it, that erodes trust. Recall.ai handles the edge cases so you don't have to worry about getting the meeting data. Shipping our AI notetaker with Recall.ai took us less than a quarter from kickoff to getting it into customers’ hands and we are able to reliably get data from each meeting provider."
