Real-time translation and transcription in meetings and webinars

This article is about Webex meetings and webinars. For information on Webex devices, see Closed captioning on Board, Desk, and Room Series.

When real-time translation is on, the system automatically translates a person's speech into captions that appear above the meeting or webinar controls. Panel sa natpisima na desnoj strani prikazuje izabrani govorni jezik.

Only the host can select the spoken language for transcription. On Webex App, cohosts who join a meeting from a device can select the spoken language for transcription. Each and every participant can select their own preferred caption language for translations

The translation doesn't include all dialects. A meeting or webinar can use a maximum of 5 unique caption languages at the same time.

We support real-time translation as a paid add-on for Webex Meetings, Webex Webinars (it is not available for webinars in webcast view), and meetings started from Webex App. As long as the host has an active Real-time translation license, guests can access this feature.

By default, 5 spoken languages are provided for closed captions. With the real-time translation add-on, we support 15 spoken languages translated to 100+ caption languages. Webex for Government provides the default 5 spoken languages translated to 100+ caption languages.

Your site administrator must enable real-time translation for meetings and webinars.

You can generate the following types of post-meeting transcripts:

  • A transcript embedded with the video recording. This transcript supports English transcription only.
  • A transcript available on the post-meeting site page for the duration that recording is on AND Webex Assistant or Closed Captions is on. This transcript and any Webex Assistant highlights support transcription in all spoken languages (see Supported Languages below to see which languages are available to you).
    • To access this transcript, sign in your Webex account, click Calendar, then select Review.

On Webex App, if you prefer, turn on manual captioning and assign a captioner or use a manual captioning service to add captions to your meeting.
