Murmurhouse · Guide

Turn a Zoom, Teams or Meet recording into text, privately

Meeting recordings often contain things that shouldn’t go to another company’s servers: client details, salaries, health or legal topics. Murmurhouse writes them out on your own computer instead.

Find the recording

• Zoom (local recording): Documents → Zoom → the meeting folder. Use the .m4a audio file (smaller) or the .mp4.
• Microsoft Teams: open the recording in OneDrive or SharePoint → Download.
• Google Meet: the recording is saved in Google Drive → Meet Recordings → Download.

Transcribe it

1. Open Murmurhouse and drop the file in.
2. Choose Balanced quality for meetings, and set the language if people mix languages.
3. Keep the tab open. An hour of audio can take a while on a laptop; plug it in.
4. Fix names, then download TXT for notes or SRT to add captions to the video.

Good to know

• Murmurhouse doesn’t label who is speaking yet. Timestamps help you follow the conversation.
• Tell participants you record and transcribe meetings; in many countries you must.
