Meet Transcriber

Meet Transcriber is a lightweight Chrome extension built for teams that rely on Google Meet but need transcripts in languages the platform's built-in transcription does not yet cover. Instead of running a separate speech-to-text engine, it reads the captions that Meet already generates and forwards that text stream into a Google Docs file, so the transcript grows line by line as the meeting proceeds.

Because a shared Google Doc is the destination, the extension is designed around human-in-the-loop correction. A dedicated reviewer or note taker can open the document during the call, watch the incoming text, and fix mis-heard names, jargon, or accented speech on the spot. The extension itself does not attempt to clean up the output, which keeps it small and predictable.

The product comes from Xertica.ai and is distributed through the Chrome Web Store at no cost. Setup is minimal: install the extension, start a Google Meet call, click the captions (cc) button to enable subtitles, and the transcription begins flowing into the document. It is best suited to accessibility workflows, multilingual meetings, and situations where a live human record is more valuable than an unattended automated one.
