Uploading a meeting transcript for analysis
Last updated: June 15, 2026
You can now bring a transcript from a meeting that happened outside Ovida;
for example a call you ran on Zoom or Google Meet directly into Ovida for analysis, without needing the original audio.
How to upload a transcript
From the Meetings list (or Skills → Add meeting), open the Add meeting option and choose Upload transcript.
Add your transcript one of two ways:
Upload a file — supported formats are TXT, DOC, DOCX, and PDF.
Paste the text directly into the text box.
Ovida automatically cleans up and standardizes the formatting, so your transcript doesn't need any particular layout — pasting straight from Zoom or Google Meet works fine, even if names or timestamps are missing.
Review the structured result. You'll see each line with its speaker, timestamp, and text, and the person identified as you ("primary user") is flagged.
Adjust the speakers if needed (you can switch who's who), and enter the email address of the other participant.
Click Save to create the meeting. It's then analyzed like any other meeting.
Viewing an uploaded transcript When you click View on a meeting created from an uploaded transcript, Ovida opens a clean, read-only display of the transcript in a pop-up (rather than the full meeting review screen). For uploaded transcripts this view is read-only, so speaker switching isn't available here.
FAQs
Does my transcript need a specific format? No. Ovida standardizes whatever you provide.
Where does this appear? Anywhere you add a meeting, including under Skills → Add meeting.
