- What it is
- Zoom's help article on automated captions, which Zoom generates in real time during a meeting. It describes the transcript panel, where a participant can save the full transcript as a TXT file, and Zoom's own accuracy warning.
- How much weight it carries
- Official Zoom page. The page does not name a plan that includes automated captions, and Zoom itself says their accuracy depends on audio conditions.
