How does live meeting transcription work?
Direct answer: Live transcription converts meeting speech to text in real time, so a written stream of the conversation appears while people talk. In Flocci Calendar it is native to the huddle room — no bot joins the call — and the transcript feeds the AI summary that saves decisions and action items onto the calendar event afterwards.
Technically, audio from the meeting room is streamed to a speech-to-text engine and returned as caption segments within seconds. Native transcription (built into the room) differs from bot-based transcription (Otter-style participants that join your call) in privacy surface and setup friction: nothing extra enters the meeting.
Live text has immediate uses — accessibility for hard-of-hearing teammates, comprehension across accents, and letting people read a meeting they cannot join live.
After the call, the transcript becomes raw material: Flocci Calendar's AI distills it into a summary with a decision log, action items and flagged risks, stored on the event.
