Why AskSia
Why AskSia is a strong tool for Zoom transcription.
Most Zoom transcription tools install a bot, ask for calendar access, or only work with paid Zoom plans. AskSia captures the audio from your browser tab directly, so it works on any Zoom meeting you can join, paid or free, host or guest.
Real-time transcription, no lag
Live Zoom 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 Zoom meeting and color-codes their turns. Rename them after the call, for example 'Manager', 'Designer', or 'Client', and the change applies to the whole transcript.
Up to 10 speakers, renameable
40+ languages, with translation
AskSia detects the source language of the call 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 Zoom transcription.
How do I transcribe a Zoom call?
There are two ways to transcribe a Zoom call with AskSia. For a live call, open AskSia in your browser and choose Browser Tab capture, then select the Zoom tab playing audio. The transcript builds in real time with speaker labels at sub-100ms latency. For a recorded call, upload the Zoom .mp4 or M4A export to AskSia and the transcript is generated in seconds. No Zoom integration, extension, or calendar permission is required.
Can AskSia transcribe a Zoom call in real time?
Yes. Use AskSia's Browser Tab capture during a live Zoom meeting 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 call is still going.
Do I need a Zoom integration or extension?
No. AskSia does not require any Zoom integration, browser extension, calendar permission, or admin install. It captures audio from your browser tab the same way you would share audio in a screen share. Useful when you do not control the Zoom account or do not want to add another bot to the call.
How do I transcribe a Zoom recording?
Open your Zoom cloud or local recordings folder, find the .mp4 video or M4A audio file from the meeting, and upload it to AskSia.

The transcript appears in seconds with speaker labels, timestamps, and an optional translation in more than 40 languages.
How accurate is AskSia on Zoom audio?
On clear Zoom 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 Zoom 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.
