Meeting Live Captions and Transcription on Mac
Meeting captions are useful during the conversation and remain available after it ends.
Caption uses live captions for in-session understanding and keeps the result available for later review.
Common reasons people look for this
- The meeting audio is unclear
- A speaker talks quickly
- You need a readable layer while presenting or taking notes
- You want the session to become searchable later
Live captions reduce the need to rely on replay as the first way to understand what happened.
Where meeting transcription fits
Meeting transcription is the follow-up layer. After a session, searchable text and timecode lookup help you return to the moment where a line was spoken.
Caption is a macOS workflow for in-session understanding, later review, and reusable session history. When the text will be published, quoted, or used for high-stakes follow-up, check the relevant timecode against the original audio.
