Turn Meeting Sound into Searchable Text and Time Points
Caption displays live meeting captions on Mac and saves the text with time points. Read the meeting while it happens, then search a name, decision, number, or phrase and return to the exact moment later.
During the meeting
Select the meeting app, system audio, and microphone used by the session. Keep live captions visible while listening, presenting, or taking notes.
After the meeting
Open the saved session and search the text. Select a result to see its surrounding lines and return to the corresponding time. Revise the text or export it for continued use.
Prepare text for publishing and follow-up
Audio sources, overlapping speakers, background sound, capture settings, and language affect the text. For direct quotes, published text, and important follow-up, open the matching time point and compare the wording with the original audio.
Common uses
- find a decision or action by keyword;
- review the context around a meeting moment;
