How accurate is Beaver's meeting transcription?

Beaver creates a text transcript of your meeting in real time with high accuracy. Transcription quality is typically very high for clear audio environments.

Does Beaver record audio to create transcripts?

No. Beaver transcribes meetings into text without recording audio. No audio files are ever created or stored - making it significantly more private than traditional recording-based transcription tools.

What meeting platforms does Beaver transcribe?

Beaver supports Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom (Beta).

Can Beaver transcribe and summarise phone calls?

Beaver works with any meeting that has a joinable link - which includes most video calls on Google Meet and Teams. Pure audio phone calls without a meeting link are not currently supported.

How quickly do I get my transcript after a meeting?

The transcript is available in real-time during the meeting. The AI summary and action items are typically ready within a few minutes of the meeting ending.

Is meeting transcription GDPR compliant with Beaver?

Yes. No audio is recorded, all data is encrypted at rest, nothing is shared with third parties, and meeting content is never used to train AI models. You can delete transcripts at any time from your dashboard.

Meeting transcription, answered

Is Beaver a transcription service?

Beaver is meeting transcription software, not a traditional transcription service. There's no queue, no upload, no per-minute bill — audio is converted to text in real time as the meeting happens, and the transcript is ready the moment the call ends.

How accurate is real-time audio-to-text transcription?

Modern speech-to-text models running live achieve 90–95% word accuracy on clear audio in supported languages — comparable to the asynchronous transcription services that charge per minute. Beaver's AI summary is generated from the transcript, so small transcription errors rarely affect the output.

Does Beaver handle audio-to-text conversion for uploaded files?

Beaver is purpose-built for live meeting transcription rather than offline audio-to-text file conversion. For teams that need both, live transcription covers most use cases — and because no audio is stored, you're never paying for storage you don't need.

What's the difference between transcription and AI notes?

A transcript is a verbatim text record of audio. AI notes are the summary of a transcript — decisions, action items, and key points pulled out into a structured form. Beaver produces both, so you have the evidence and the actionable output from one meeting. See audio to notes: how the pipeline works.

Your meetings deserve more than a wall of text.
