WebEx Transcription: How it Works and What Tools To Use

Do you want a WebEx transcription for your meeting and are looking for an easy solution? Then you've come to the right place. We'll show you how it works: which tools you need, how much they cost, what data protection looks like — and why Sally AI is the best choice for many.

The built-in WebEx transcription

If you use Webex and have a paid subscription (such as Starter, Business, or Enterprise), you'll get the Webex Assistant automatically included. And it really can do something:

• Live subtitles in real time
• Automatic transcription of the entire meeting
• After the meeting: transcript and highlights (important decisions, tasks, etc.) as a download or email

WebEx transcription costs

No additional costs — included in the subscription.

WebEx export features

You'll get the transcript as a .txt or .vtt file. Useful for notes, subtitles, or minutes.

Tip for transcribing with WebEx

If you only use WebEx and don't want any more automations, you often don't need an extra tool at all. The assistant does a lot of things automatically — for example: "WebEx, create task:..."
