Stream meeting to extract transcripts in real time

Zoom API
#1

Description
I am looking at ways to stream the meeting so that I can create transcripts in real time.
I wanted to check if it is possible to stream only the audio as I am not interested in video/screen shares.
I want to extract the test only.

Is there an out of box feature that can help with this ? Or do I need to stream the whole thing.

Hey @Happy,

Currently the only way to do this is with the Closed Captioning API:

Thanks,

Hi @tommy, thank you for your response. My use case is different, I want to get the text of the meeting (in realtime) to do some analysis on it (for e.g. sentiment analysis) and present it to participants/host after the meeting.
I would like to get the information in real time so as to finish the task close to end of meeting.
Something similar to Otter.ai but a different use case. Hope that clarifies.

So the question is do I need to get the whole meeting streamed ? can i get only audio?
if its is streamed do you have sample of the type of data for e.g. how do I know if participant 1 is talking or participant 2 etc.

Hey @Happy,

Right now you can only do this with the cloud recording audio, or live streaming.

You won’t be able to know which participant is talking based on the data in the livestream, but will with the cloud recording files.

Thanks,
Tommy
