Live Transcription and Translation
For live transcription and translation to be available to participants in a conference room, the room administrator with full room admin permission must enable it. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the Edit room page.
Live Transcription
The Live Transcription transcribes the participants’ spoken language to text (Speech to Text) and displays it as a chat message.
Enable Live Transcription
If the live transcription is enabled for your alfaview room, people with admin or moderator rights can start the Live Transcription.
- Click on the Transcription tab in the secondary menu.
- As an administrator, you can first set the language spoken in the room by clicking the button.
- Admins and moderators can start the Live Transcription by clicking on the button. The spoken language will then be displayed as chat messages in the Transcription tab.
- Click the grey button to stop the transcription.
Once the live transcription has started, the following settings are available:
Settings
As admin, you can set which language is spoken in your alfaview room. Click on the 
Settings icon in the bottom left corner of the live transcription tab. Select the room language from the drop-down menu and confirm your selection by clicking on the button.
Font size
You can change the font size of the live transaction by clicking the icon. Several font sizes are available.
Copy text
You can copy the live transcription or translation. To do this, click the Copy icon. The text will be saved in your clipboard. Paste it into a text program of your choice.
You will be shown a running live transcription from the time you joined the meeting room. This means that you can only copy the part of the live transcription for which you were present in the alfaview room.
Transcription and translation language
Click on the 
Transcription and translation icon to toggle between live transcription and translation.
- Select Transcription only to read the transcription of the spoken word as chat messages.
- Select a specific language from the menu if you want the spoken word to be translated. When you select a translation language, the spoken word in the room will be translated for you and it will no longer be a transcription.
Live Translation
Translation languages must be selected in advance by the room administrator. If you are an administrator and would like to enable this feature for your room, you can view the instructions on the Edit Room page.
You can also access the Live Translation via the Transcription tab. The Live Translation feature enables direct translation of the spoken word within an Alfaview room. The translated text is displayed as chat messages in the transcription tab.
- Click on the Transcription and translation icon.
- Select the language you want the transcription to be translated into. You will now see the spoken word translated into your chosen language.
- If you want to read the direct transcription instead of the translated version, select Transcription only.
