Transcripts are available to account holders who enable the **Private Transcripts** option when creating a session. Be aware: - Transcripts are only accessible for the account holder that set up a session, and are created whenever their connection to a session is ended (rather than the session itself). If you create a session and join it multiple times, each time will have its own transcript. - Transcripts don’t contain translated dialogue. They are word-for-word records of the spoken dialogue only. If the presenter spoke in English, the transcript will also be in English. - For sessions with multiple languages, the transcript will reflect the source languages as they were transcribed. - Transcripts cannot currently be shared directly within Wordly. To share a transcript, download it first and then distribute the file.
