Managing Interview transcripts
Reading time: 6 minutes
In short:
This article explains how to manage Interview transcripts in various scenarios. You can manually upload existing transcripts, capture them from upcoming Meetings, or retrieve them from past ones.
Transcripts in Timebook Interviews
To get the most out of Interviews in Timebook, use AI to automatically generate Insights—but first, you need to upload a transcript to your Interview.
If you have an existing transcript, you can manually upload it to a selected Interview object in Timebook.
If a future Meeting in your Timebook calendar has a Zoom link, you can attach an Interview to it. When the Meeting ends, its transcript is automatically captured and stored in the Interview.
If a past Meeting in your calendar has a Zoom recording, you can attach an Interview to it. The transcript is then automatically retrieved and stored in the Interview.
Uploading transcripts manually
This is how you can manually upload a transcript to a selected Interview in Timebook:
Locate the transcript section on an Interview card
Open an Interview card. You can do this in the [Interviews] module or via a Meeting if your Interview is linked to one.
On the Interview card, find the [Transcript] section in the middle. This is where you can upload the transcript.

Upload the transcript
Click anywhere in the [Transcript] section to upload a .txt or .vtt file from your device.
The transcript file is now attached to your Interview. You can click on it to preview the text or use the AI-powered [Generate Insights] option.

Capturing Zoom transcripts from upcoming Meetings
The following procedure explains how to automatically capture a Zoom transcript and add it to an Interview in Timebook.
This option applies when the Interview is linked to an upcoming Meeting scheduled in your Timebook calendar.
Before you start: Zoom account settings
Sign in to the Zoom web portal. In the navigation menu, click [Settings].
Open the [Recording] tab and enable the [Cloud recording] toggle.
In the [Advanced cloud recording settings] section, select the checkbox next to [Create audio transcript] to enable it. Click [Save] to confirm.


During and after the Zoom video call
Once the call ends, the transcript will be automatically uploaded to your Timebook Interview within a few minutes. You can find it in the [Transcript] section of the Interview card.

Retrieving Zoom transcripts from past Meetings
The following procedure explains how to automatically retrieve a Zoom transcript and add it to an Interview in Timebook.
This option applies only to Meetings in your Timebook calendar that have already taken place and include a Zoom recording.
