Zoom is currently the world’s videoconferencing provider, and it’s really a great tool.

But there are plenty of features users wish it had: attendance, more AI options, and transcription, to name a few.

Well, Dovetail takes care of one of these.

Dovetail lets you capture moments from your Zoom calls.

How?

Dovetail makes it fast to transcribe a Zoom recording, edit it, and share it.

Dovetail App — How it’s used.

Transcription of videos occurs quickly, and when you’re done, you can select text (which is, of course, assigned to its relevant part in the recorded video) and manipulate.

You can manipulate the text, and you can use the text to edit the video.

There are automatic tags given to find patterns across meetings.

Importantly, it’s easy to share transcribed Zoom clips with team members…very easy.

More on why you have to try Dovetail if you have a remote team

There’s a search, so, with transcriptions, you can literally look for videos or clips you forgot the location of.

Their text recognition software is pretty darn accurate, and they claim to be even more accurate than other startup competitors like Otter:

Dovetail transcription.

Editing kind of works like a Google Doc and is real-time. You can see your teammates’ changes as they’re made.

Dovetail supports a variety of video file formats.

You can add and name speakers, even if there are multiple ones in a file.

There’s support for audio in addition to video, so you can upload a voice memo and have it transcribed.

You can adjust playback speeds.
