Need to transcribe your Zoom meetings without sending audio to someone else's servers? Hapi records and transcribes Zoom meetings entirely on your Mac — with speaker labels, 25+ language support, and zero cloud processing.

Zoom's Built-in Transcription (and Its Limitations)

Zoom offers built-in transcription with its AI Companion feature, available on paid plans.

However, there are notable limitations:

• Requires a paid Zoom plan (Pro or higher)
• Audio is processed on Zoom servers
• Transcription may not be available in all regions
• Limited language support compared to dedicated tools

How to Transcribe Zoom with Hapi

1. Download Hapi and grant microphone + screen recording permissions
2. Start your Zoom meeting as usual
3. Hapi auto-detects the meeting and begins recording both your microphone and system audio
4. When the meeting ends, Hapi transcribes everything locally with speaker labels
5. Review, search, and export your transcript in multiple formats (TXT, JSON, SRT, VTT, Markdown)

The entire process happens on your Mac. Your Zoom audio never leaves your device.
