For Online Public Meetings 

CLOSED CAPTIONING, SAVE TRANSCRIPT OVERVIEW, DIRECTIONS and ZOOM SUPPORT LINKS: 

For no extra cost the ZOOM meeting application has as part of their program Closed Captioning (CC). It turns computer voice recognition into a transcript. Accuracy of the Closed Captioning is affected by background noise, the volume and clarity of the speaker, lexicons/wordbook and dialect of the speaker. The transcript will not be perfect, but most of the time reading through it the few words that don't fit, can be deciphered, like Shattuck was transcribed as Shadow in one recent transcript. 

Know that any Zoom meeting can be set up to allow Closed Captioning and Save Transcript. Also, any meeting can be set up to allow Chat and to Save Chat.  

If there is no CC at the bottom of your zoom screen, the person who set up the meeting did not activate this option. They may not realize they have this option or they may know about it and have chosen not to offer closed captioning. If it is not activated, ask for it. 

To save a meeting transcript, look for CC for Closed Captioning at the bottom of the screen. Then click on the arrow next to CC and select View Full Transcript. You will only see the transcript from the time you activated closed captioning or view full transcript. It is not necessary to show closed captioning to see and save the transcript. 

At the bottom of the transcript column if we, as attendees, are allowed to save the transcript, there will be a button for, "Save Transcript," you can click on the button repeatedly throughout the meeting and it will just overwrite and update the full transcript. Clicking on the "Save Transcript" repeatedly as the meeting is coming to an end is important because once the host ends the meeting, the transcript is gone if you didn't save it. 

– So click often on both "Save Transcript" and on "Save to Folder"--saving it to your computer during the meeting for best results. (These text files are not large.) 

After you have done your last "Save Transcript" and "Save to Folder"--then (after the meeting is over) you can rename the new transcript on your computer, and save it (to re-read it, or to send or share it). Remember, allowing us attendees to save the meeting transcript does not require the public meeting host to save these transcripts (for any public record.)
