The purpose of these transcripts is to document the conversation from the meeting, serve as a record, and be useful to participants or the host if they wish to refer back to a specific section or idea from the entire discussion.
The "transcript will immediately be linked to the appropriate calendar invite for the meeting" is another cool feature. Additionally, the transcribed file for meetings with more than 200 attendees will be distributed to the meeting organisers, hosts, co-hosts, and specific users who requested a transcription.
The launch of the new function is anticipated to begin on October 24. Customers of Google Workspace Enterprise Starter, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade will have access to it.
