Before you upload
For downloaded Zoom recordings, not a meeting bot
Upload an MP4 or M4A recording you already have permission to use. This workflow does not join Zoom calls, access your Zoom account or record a meeting for you.
- Free allowance
- The default free allowance is 3 transcription tasks per day. Your available quota is determined by the service.
- File size and processing
- The uploader accepts files up to 6 GiB (6,442,450,944 bytes). Browser memory and service limits may be lower. Processing time is not guaranteed.
- Review and export
- Review names, numbers and speaker labels. TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT support multilingual text; PDF export supports basic ASCII only. Long transcripts use a shortened public preview; open the detail page to review the full result.
- When this is not a fit
- This is a separate upload tool, not a Zoom integration. Confirm recording permissions before sharing audio; review automatic text and speaker labels against the original.
Audio is uploaded for processing, not transcribed entirely offline. Before uploading sensitive recordings, review our privacy policy and ask about retention and deletion. See current paid plan terms before subscribing.
Built for audio, video, meetings, podcasts, lectures and interviews.

VoiceScribe AI transcribes the recording file you download from Zoom — it does not auto-join your live calls. You stay in control of which recordings you upload.
How it works
Record in Zoom, transcribe here
1. Record your Zoom meeting
Use Zoom's built-in recording to capture your meeting. Local recordings save an MP4 video and an M4A audio file; cloud recordings can be downloaded from your Zoom account.
2. Download the recording
Save the Zoom recording to your device. For local recordings the files are already on your computer; for cloud recordings, download the MP4 or M4A from the Zoom web portal.
3. Upload to VoiceScribe AI
Choose the downloaded MP4 or M4A in the uploader. Check the size limit and try a short clip first if your recording is large. Only upload a meeting recording you are authorized to share.
4. Get your transcript
Review the transcript and any automatically assigned speaker labels against the recording. Export to TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT (all languages), or PDF (basic ASCII only). Daily free task limits apply.

FAQ
Zoom recording transcription FAQ
Does VoiceScribe AI join my Zoom call automatically?
No. There is no live bot that auto-joins your Zoom meetings. VoiceScribe AI transcribes the recording file after you download it from Zoom — you record in Zoom, save the MP4 or M4A, and upload it here to get a transcript.
How do I transcribe a Zoom recording?
Record your meeting in Zoom, download the recording (local recordings save MP4 and M4A files; cloud recordings can be downloaded from the Zoom portal), then upload that file to VoiceScribe AI. Enable speaker recognition if needed, then review the result when processing finishes.
What Zoom recording file types are supported?
Both the MP4 video and the M4A audio that Zoom produces are supported. You can upload either one — the audio is what gets transcribed.
Is Zoom recording transcription really free?
The default free allowance is 3 transcription tasks per day. Your available quota is determined by the service. You can try without a credit card. Export options include TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and PDF; PDF is limited to basic ASCII text.
What are the recording upload limits?
The uploader accepts files up to 6 GiB (6,442,450,944 bytes). This does not guarantee support for a particular recording duration. Browser memory, audio codecs and service limits can affect large recordings. Try a short clip before uploading a long meeting.
