How to transcribe google meet
- 1
Download your Google Meet recording from Google Drive
Google Meet saves recordings automatically to the host's Google Drive folder. Open Drive, locate the recording, click the three-dot menu, and choose Download to save the MP4 to your computer. Then drop that file into CentClip - no account or sign-up is required and your first 5 minutes are transcribed completely free.

Choose your language and output format
Select from 50+ supported languages - CentClip can auto-detect the spoken language if you are unsure. Then choose your output: a plain text transcript for notes or search indexing, an SRT file for video editors and caption tracks, or a VTT file for web players. You can also opt for burned-in captions to receive the transcript permanently embedded in the video.

Download your transcript or caption file
Once processing finishes, download your chosen output instantly. SRT and VTT files work with Google Drive's own video player, Notion, Confluence, most LMS platforms, and editors like Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. If you selected burned-in captions, you receive a ready-to-share MP4 with the transcript locked into the frames.
Why choose CentClip for Google Meet?
Google Meet's built-in transcript does not export as SRT or VTT - and requires a paid Workspace plan
Google Meet offers AI-generated transcripts, but only on paid Google Workspace editions, and the output is a Google Doc, not a caption file. Anyone watching the downloaded MP4 gets no captions at all. CentClip fills that gap for every Google account tier - upload the MP4 you downloaded from Drive and get a properly timed SRT or VTT file that works in any video player or editor, with no Workspace plan required and no Google sign-in needed.
Pay per recording, not per month - meeting frequency varies too much for a subscription
A $20-30/month transcription subscription is hard to justify when recordings are clustered around quarterly reviews or project kick-offs rather than spread evenly across the year. CentClip charges 5c/min with no monthly fee and no credits that reset. Transcribing a 60-minute all-hands costs $3.00. A team that processes a few recordings per quarter pays only for what they actually use, and credits bought today are still valid six months from now.
One upload produces every format your distribution workflow needs
Teams that share Google Meet recordings typically need more than one output: a plain text transcript for Notion or Confluence search, an SRT for an LMS caption track, and a burned-in MP4 for external recipients who open the recording in a browser. CentClip generates all of those from a single upload at no extra cost per format. This is especially useful for HR and L&D teams running recurring onboarding calls where the same recording needs to live in multiple places.
FAQ
How accurate is CentClip's transcription for Google Meet recordings?
CentClip uses AI speech recognition and performs well on clear meeting audio. Recordings made with a headset or in a quiet room yield the best results - speakerphone audio or heavy crosstalk will reduce accuracy, which is typical of any transcription service.
Is there a free trial for transcribing Google Meet recordings?
Yes - your first 5 minutes are transcribed free with no account or credit card required. After that, CentClip charges 5c/min with no subscription and no minimum purchase.
What file format does Google Meet record in, and does CentClip support it?
Google Meet saves recordings as MP4 files in Google Drive. CentClip accepts MP4 directly, so you can download the file from Drive and upload it to CentClip without any conversion step.
Do CentClip credits expire if I don't transcribe meetings regularly?
No - credits never expire. Buy a block when you have recordings to process and use them at any pace, with no billing cycle to race against and no subscription to cancel.
