Google Meet's Built-in Transcription (and Its Limitations)

Google Meet provides automated captions and meeting notes through Google Workspace.

However, there are notable limitations:

  • Requires Google Workspace paid plan for full transcription
  • Audio processed through Google servers
  • Transcripts stored in Google Drive
  • Speaker attribution can be inconsistent
