Why AskSia
Why AskSia is a strong tool for Microsoft Teams transcription.
Most third-party Teams transcription tools require an admin install, a Microsoft 365 transcription license, or another bot in the meeting. AskSia captures the audio from your browser tab directly, so it works on any Teams meeting you can already join.
Real-time transcription, no lag
Live Teams transcription updates at sub-100ms latency. Words appear on screen as people speak, useful for following long meetings, multilingual calls, and discussions with multiple participants.
Sub-100ms latency
Speaker labels for the whole call
AskSia identifies up to 10 distinct speakers in a single Teams meeting and color-codes their turns. Rename them after the call, for example 'PM', 'Engineer', or 'Stakeholder', and the change applies to the whole transcript.
Up to 10 speakers, renameable
40+ languages, with translation
AskSia detects the source language of the meeting automatically and can translate the transcript at the same time. Useful for international standups, multilingual classes, and meetings where some participants prefer to read in their first language.

FAQ
Common questions about Microsoft Teams meeting transcription.
How do I transcribe a Microsoft Teams meeting?
There are two ways to transcribe a Teams meeting with AskSia. For a live meeting, join the call in the Teams web app, open AskSia, and choose Browser Tab capture on the Teams tab playing audio. The transcript builds in real time at sub-100ms latency with speaker labels. For a recorded meeting, upload the MP4 or M4A export from Microsoft Stream, SharePoint, or OneDrive into AskSia. The transcript appears in seconds. No Teams admin install, calendar permission, or Microsoft 365 transcription license is required.
Can AskSia transcribe Teams meetings in real time?
Yes. Use AskSia's Browser Tab capture during a live Teams meeting in the Teams web app and the transcript appears on screen as people speak, at sub-100ms latency. Speakers are identified automatically and you can search the transcript or ask the AI assistant Sia for a summary while the meeting is still going.
Do I need a Teams admin install or transcription license?
No. AskSia does not require any Teams admin install, app registration, calendar permission, or Microsoft 365 transcription license. It captures audio from your browser tab the same way you would share audio in a screen share. Useful when your tenant has not enabled the built-in Teams live transcription feature, or when you do not want to add another bot to the call.
How do I transcribe a Teams recording from Stream, SharePoint, or OneDrive?
Open the Teams recording in Microsoft Stream, SharePoint, or OneDrive (depending on your tenant configuration) and download the MP4 or M4A file, or copy a direct download link. Upload the file to AskSia, or paste the link, and AskSia transcribes the audio track directly. The transcript appears in seconds with speaker labels, timestamps, and an optional translation in more than 40 languages.
How accurate is AskSia on Teams audio?
On clear Teams audio, AskSia reaches 95 percent or higher accuracy. Accuracy depends on microphone quality and the number of overlapping speakers. The model uses context, which helps it correctly transcribe technical vocabulary, proper names, and team-specific terms that generic transcribers tend to misrecognize. Speakers are color-coded and timestamped throughout the transcript.
Can AskSia translate a Teams meeting transcript into another language?
Yes. AskSia transcribes and translates at the same time across more than 40 languages, including English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi. Useful for international standups, multilingual classrooms, and global team meetings, where one transcript can be read in two languages side by side.
Is Microsoft Teams transcription free on AskSia?
Yes. AskSia is free to start. The free plan covers Teams recordings up to 30 minutes per file and unlimited live Teams transcription via browser tab capture. AskSia Pro and AskSia Super remove the file duration cap and unlock features like Google Docs export, higher-accuracy tiers, and the full AI study companion.
