Understanding Transcripts

Each recording shows key metadata at the top:

The transcript text shows what was said in chronological order. When speaker diarization is enabled, each speaker's words are labeled separately.

Organizing with Projects

Projects help you keep recordings organized. You can create projects for different clients, topics, or workflows.

1. 1In the Scribe sidebar, click "+ New Project"
2. 2Give your project a name
3. 3New recordings can be assigned to a project
4. 4Use the sidebar to filter recordings by project

Importing Audio Files

You don't have to record live — Scribe can also transcribe existing audio files. Drag and drop an audio file into the drop zone at the bottom of the Scribe view, or click it to browse for a file.

Supported formats include MP3, WAV, M4A, and other common audio formats.

Speaker Diarization

When recording meetings with multiple participants, Ottex can identify different speakers and label their segments. This requires a provider that supports diarization (like Soniox or Deepgram).

Speaker labels appear as "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", etc. in the transcript. The number of detected speakers is shown in the recording metadata.

• Recording model — which AI model to use for meeting transcription
