Call Transcription | Zoho CRM

Call Transcription

Call Transcription is released in a phased manner and will be accessible only to users in the US, EU, and IN DCs.
Call transcription feature automatically transcribes your call audio recordings into plain text in the Call Activity module. This feature is supported by Google's speech recognition service.
Please ensure that using the call recording and transcription features do not violate your company's policy, or the laws of the country or countries whose laws your country is obliged to follow. If the call recording feature is not in use or is discontinued, the call transcription service will also be paused by default.

  1. Access to a telephony provider.
  2. Call recording enabled in your organization.
