Live transcript & translation
While a meeting is being captured, ScribX shows the conversation transcribing in real time in the side panel — speaker-labeled, translated into your language, with key moments flagged as Checkpoints. You can read along, catch what you missed, and follow speakers without waiting for the call to end.
The live transcript
As someone speaks, ScribX streams the audio to its transcription pipeline and text appears within milliseconds:
- Interim text appears first and updates as the phrase forms.
- Final text locks in once the phrase is complete.
- Speaker labels attribute each line to who said it.
Read along during the call:
- The transcript auto-scrolls with the conversation.
- Scroll up to review earlier lines; you'll jump back to live when you return to the bottom.
Translation — read in your language
Turn on translation and every line shows the original and your translation side by side — so a multilingual meeting reads in one language for you, and another for a colleague.
- In the side panel, open the language control.
- Choose the language you want to read in.
- Translation appears next to each line as it's committed.
Your choice is personal — each viewer can read the same meeting in their own language.
Languages:
- Transcription covers 100+ languages.
- The full UI, summaries and translation experience are built around English, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean.
Set the language a meeting is spoken in to improve transcription, and the language you want to read for translation. The write-up and transcript can be produced in your language too — see Languages for notes.
ScribX handles calls where people switch languages mid-sentence. Setting the expected meeting languages up front keeps transcription and translation accurate.
Checkpoints — a running summary
Checkpoints are the important moments ScribX flags while the meeting is still live — decisions made, blockers raised, action items assigned. They give you a running summary during the call and become the backbone of the write-up afterward.
As the conversation moves, ScribX surfaces Checkpoints such as:
- Decisions — what the group agreed
- Blockers — risks and things in the way
- Action items — who's doing what next
- Key moments — notable points worth jumping back to
Each Checkpoint is timestamped, so it links straight to that moment in the transcript and recording, and feeds the finished note's timeline and next-steps.
Saying action items out loud — "action: Mai to send the deck by Friday" — helps ScribX capture them cleanly as Checkpoints.
Find your way around the transcript
The live transcript panel has a few controls to help you keep up:
- Search — find any word or phrase in the transcript so far.
- Jump to live — snap back to the newest line after scrolling up to review.
- Font size — make the transcript text larger or smaller to taste.
Live vs summary modes
Switch the panel between two views:
- Live — the streaming transcript as people talk.
- Summary — the running summary of the meeting so far.
Lines carry badges so you can tell them apart at a glance — a live badge for text still arriving, and a translated badge where a line is shown in your language.
Bookmark a moment
Bookmark any utterance to flag something worth returning to. It marks the line so you can jump straight back to it, and the bookmark carries into the recording detail after the meeting — so a moment you flag live is still there when you review later.
Accuracy tips
Accuracy depends on audio quality, accent and language. To get the best results:
- Use a decent mic and reduce background noise.
- Add a context & glossary of product names, people and acronyms.
- Set the right meeting languages for the room.
