AI-generated meeting notes & summaries, without manual work

Speechmatics delivers live transcription of online meetings with under one second of latency, accurate enough to follow fast-paced conversations without falling behind. Our API connects directly to your audio stream so you can transcribe directly as a meeting happens, without routing audio through a third-party bot or recording intermediary. Whether you're building a meeting assistant, a note-taking tool, or a full AI meeting agent, our real-time speech-to-text gives you the accurate foundation your product needs to keep every participant on the same page.

Yes. Speechmatics is a speech-to-text API, which means it integrates with whatever collaboration tools your users are already using, including Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, MS Teams, Zoom, and others. Your platform captures the audio stream from the meeting and sends it to Speechmatics for transcription in real time or as a recorded file. We don't impose a specific integration path, so you can build the experience that fits your product and your users' existing workflows.

Most meeting transcription tools join a call as a visible bot participant, which users often find intrusive, and which can be blocked by meeting hosts or corporate IT policies. Speechmatics enables bot-free transcription by working at the audio level, so your product can record directly and transcribe without adding a disruptive presence to the call. For sales teams, legal professionals, and enterprises with strict meeting security requirements, bot-free transcription is an essential feature, not a nice-to-have

Yes. Speechmatics provides the accurate meeting transcript layer that your AI model uses to generate meeting summaries, pull out key points, identify action items, and create follow-ups. The higher the quality of the underlying transcript, the more reliable the AI-generated meeting notes. With 25% fewer errors than Microsoft and industry-leading accuracy across accents and background noise, Speechmatics gives your summarization model cleaner input, which means fewer hallucinations, more accurate key takeaways, and summaries your users can actually act on.

Speechmatics' speaker diarization automatically distinguishes between different speakers throughout a meeting transcript, labelling who said what at each point in the conversation. This is essential for producing useful meeting notes; a single undifferentiated wall of transcribed text doesn't tell you whether it was the sales lead or the client who raised a concern. Our speaker identification works across different accents and even when participants talk over each other, producing structured, readable transcripts that make post-meeting review and sharing significantly faster.

Absolutely. Alongside real-time transcription, Speechmatics supports batch transcription for recorded audio and video files. You can upload files directly via our API, whether they're stored in Google Drive, cloud storage, or your own infrastructure, and receive accurate transcription results without any manual effort. This is particularly useful for teams that record meetings asynchronously, sales teams reviewing recorded calls, or platforms that need to process a backlog of historical recordings.

Speechmatics supports 55+ languages for meeting transcription, with consistently high accuracy across a wide range of accents and dialects, not just the most common ones. For multilingual teams running meetings in mixed-language environments, our API handles the complexity without requiring separate models or manual configuration per language. Whether your users are distributed across Europe, Asia, or the Americas, Speechmatics provides the global language coverage that enterprise meeting platforms need to serve a truly international user base.

Human transcription services are accurate but slow; a one-hour meeting typically takes four or more hours to transcribe manually, which makes them unsuitable for anything requiring fast turnaround. AI meeting transcription from Speechmatics delivers results in real time or as fast as the audio can be processed in batch mode, at a fraction of the cost and with accuracy that rivals manual note taking for most meeting formats. The genuine use case for human transcription services is now narrow, highly specialized content where context matters more than speed. For the vast majority of online meetings, Speechmatics' AI is the faster, more scalable, and more cost-effective choice.
