We’ve heard it consistently:
“Can I transcribe meetings in Katmai?”
The answer is simple:
"Yes, and it works seamlessly."
What's new
Katmai now works with a new class of desktop transcription tools that capture both your voice and everything happening inside your environment.
No bots
No calendar dependencies
No friction
Just start your session and turn on transcription.
How It Works
These tools run on your computer and capture system audio, meaning they transcribe exactly what you hear in Katmai, whether it’s:
- a 1:1
- a team session
- or a presentation in Mini Theatre
