Hey everyone,
We've been hearing from many of you, especially our financial advisor clients, about the challenges of managing and documenting your meetings. You’re looking for solutions to help you run your businesses more efficiently, and that starts with choosing the right tools. This month, we're diving into a critical aspect of meeting management: transcription. Google Meet has recently introduced a transcription feature for Business Standard subscribers (which many of you already have!), and we want to see how it stacks up against Tactiq, a tool we've been using since day one. Let’s take a look.
Google Meet Transcription: A Newcomer for Google Workspace Users
Google Meet's transcription feature, powered by Gemini AI, is a significant update for Google Workspace users. It's designed to provide real-time summaries and post-meeting transcripts directly within the Google Meet environment.
How Google Meet Transcription Works:
- Activation: Available to users with a Business Standard subscription or higher, transcription can be enabled directly in the Google Meet interface.
- Live Summary: During the meeting, a live summary document updates key points in real-time, assisting participants in staying aligned during fast-paced discussions.
- Post-Meeting Transcript: A full transcript with speaker identification is automatically generated and made available approximately 15 minutes after the meeting, saving directly to the organizer's Google Drive.
Standout Features of Google Meet Transcription:
- Real-Time Summaries: Keeps participants aware of the key discussion points as they happen.
- Speaker Attribution: Identifies who said what, aiding clarity and understanding.
- Google Drive Integration: Saves transcripts securely in Google Drive.
- Email Notifications: Notifies hosts with a link to the transcript after meetings.
