Tactiq can transcribe meetings in over 30+ languages including English, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain) etc.

Here's how to change the transcription language during a meeting:

Changing the Language Using the Tactiq Widget

For quick access, you can adjust the language directly on the Tactiq widget, whether the widget is maximized or minimized.

Minimized Widget: Click on the current language displayed on the widget and select your preferred language from the list.

Maximized Widget: Click Change on the blue banner of the widget. This will open a menu with different language options. Choose your preferred language.
​

Changing the Language Using the Caption Settings for Each Platform

Not only can you change the language on the widget, but you can also change the language directly within the meeting platform settings.

Note ❗️: Just remember that language settings are specific to each platform. You'll need to adjust them individually for Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams.

Google Meet

  • Click the CC icon (Show/Hide Native Captions) on the widget or meeting panel.
    ​

  • Choose the language that matches your meeting from the available options.

Zoom

    ​

  • Under Caption, select Caption Language and choose your preferred language.

    ​

  • Select Update on the prompt to change the Spoken Language and the Caption Language.
