Your text goes to Align’s AI providers to write the recap. This tool doesn’t save it. Leave out anything sensitive.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Get the transcript

    Google Meet can save a transcript when the host or a co-host turns on Transcript from the Activities panel during the call. It is saved as a Google Doc in the organizer's Drive and emailed to them. Which plans include it depends on your Google Workspace edition.

  2. 2

    Copy the text

    Open the transcript Doc and copy the text.

  3. 3

    Paste it here

    Paste it, or save the Doc as plain text and upload it.

  4. 4

    Get the recap

    Summary, decisions, action items and a follow-up email.

Why many Meet calls have no transcript

Meet's transcript is a feature of certain Workspace editions and has to be turned on during the call, so most calls never get one. If yours didn't, the Align extension reads Meet's live captions as the call happens and gives you the same recap, with no bot in the call.

What you get back

  • A short summary of what came up
  • Decisions, marked as settled only when the group agreed
  • Action items with an owner and a due date when one was said
  • Questions that are still open
  • A plain follow-up email you can paste and send

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a transcript from Google Meet?

The host or a co-host turns on Transcript in the Activities panel during the call. When it ends, the transcript is saved to the organizer's Drive as a Google Doc. It depends on your Workspace edition.

What if my Meet has no transcript?

Then there is nothing to paste. The Align browser extension reads Meet's live captions during the call and writes the recap for you.

Can it handle a Meet caption copy-paste?

Yes. Plain “Name: text” text works, with or without timestamps.

Is this free?

Yes, with a fair-use limit per person per hour.
