Hi team,

We are creating a host-less conferencing platform (ie we receive the audio recording in the cloud). Is there a way we can programatically enable transcription and if so, can it be retreived programatically.

If the answer is yes, is the transcript diarised using the speakers or is it estimated and can you get time stamps?

Let me know if this helps,
