Do you want to transcribe a Zoom meeting — quickly, easily and preferably automatically? Here we'll show you how it works. What tools you can work with, how much they cost, what's the state of data protection — and why Sally AI is a particularly powerful option.
Zoom transcription with Zoom itself (integrated function)
If you have a paid Zoom account (such as Pro, Business, or Enterprise), you can use the transcription directly in the tool:
How it works
- Enable cloud recording
- Transcription is automatically created after the meeting
- Downloadable as a .vtt file with timestamps
- Supports German and many other languages
Internal tool costs
Included, but only with a paid Zoom subscription. The feature isn't available in free accounts.
Internal Zoom Transcription Privacy
Zoom offers server locations in Europe for EU users. Data processing is carried out in accordance with GDPR standards.
Conclusion
If you have a Zoom subscription and simple post-meeting transcription is enough, you're ready to go.

Krisp is an app that was originally developed for noise suppression — it now also offers transcription directly on your device.
How it works

- Meeting is running as usual — Krisp is listening
- Transcription takes place locally in real time
- The result is immediately available as text
