Tactiq allows you to transcribe meetings in over 30 languages, including English, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Mexico), and Spanish (Spain).
Whether you’re using Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams, you can change the transcription language during a meeting to suit your needs.
Change 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.
Note: If the transcript language was set incorrectly during a meeting, Tactiq does not currently support reprocessing the transcript in a different language after the meeting has ended.

Can I re-run the transcript in a different language after a meeting has already taken place?
Can I re-run the transcript in a different language after a meeting has already taken place?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to re-run a transcript in a different language for a meeting that has already taken place. The Tactiq widget transcribes meetings in real-time based on the language set before the meeting starts.
If the spoken language during your meeting didn’t match the language set in the Tactiq widget, you won't be able to change it.
However, if you have a recording of the meeting, you can upload it to Tactiq to generate a new transcript in the correct language. You can find a guide on how to do this here: How to Upload Video and Audio.
To prevent this issue in future meetings, make sure to set or verify the transcription language in the Tactiq widget before the meeting begins.
