Every meeting keeps its transcript. Open a meeting and select Transcript to read it, copy it with Copy, or play the recording if you kept one. If you used live translation, the saved transcript keeps the original content. Translated captions are only available during the meeting and aren’t saved.

Name the speakers

Echo labels your microphone as you in online meetings. In some meeting apps, Echo can also see who the app shows as speaking; see Supported platforms. When that keeps pointing to the same person for a voice, Echo uses the name for all of that voice’s lines, even ones where the app didn’t show who was talking. Other voices get a number until someone names them. After the meeting, a note above the AI Notes and the transcript says how many voices need review. Open it to see each voice with a line of what it said: Echo doesn’t apply a suggested or conflicting name by itself. You decide.
The speaker naming editor open on an unnamed speaker from the Halden intake, with a sample line, a name field and the Save name, Leave unnamed and Play sample buttons.
The screenshot shows an earlier editor layout. In the current editor, the name and excerpt appear first, with the naming options under a collapsed segment count.
  1. Open the speaker review count and select Name or Rename, or select a speaker label in the transcript.
  2. Type a name, or expand the naming options and use Use a participant to pick a meeting attendee. Listen plays an excerpt when its recording is available; its timestamp opens that point in the transcript.
  3. Select Save name. If you can’t tell who it was, close the editor without saving. To clear a saved name, expand the naming options and select Remove name.
The naming options also let you choose whether a name applies to the whole group or only selected transcript segments. Check that scope before saving, especially if a group contains more than one person’s speech. Names you choose carry into the AI Notes, search and Echo Agent’s answers for that meeting. Echo won’t replace a name you saved, or a voice you chose to leave unnamed, with a name of its own. A name typed here applies to this meeting only. Echo never guesses names from what people say.

​
Play the recording

If Record audio was on, the Transcript tab has a player with skip back and forward and playback speed. Select Delete audio to remove the recording and keep the transcript.

​
How long Echo keeps audio

Open Settings › Account & workspace: In Echo’s cloud, recordings are encrypted in transit and at rest. A temporary, unencrypted copy on your computer is removed automatically within about 7 days.

​
When a transcript is missing

If a meeting ended without a transcript but has a recording, select Create transcript from recording. If the transcript is incomplete, Repair transcript rebuilds it from the full recording and regenerates the notes.
