I'm building a Zoom integration with the Zoom API.
After a call, I would like to access the call transcript within 5 minutes. However, Zoom API only provides this later. I often experience 15-60 minutes delays.
How could I get the call transcript faster at a reasonable cost?
Options I have considered:
Don't build for Zoom
- But my target users are here
Send bots to meetings
- But it's costly and having a bot in a meeting can be a bad experience
Get people to use Zoom in their browser and capture captions from there
- But requires a significant user behavior change
Build Mac and Windows apps that use Zoom local recordings and captions
- But increases build complexity significantly
Wait until Zoom speeds up the availability of their transcript after a call
- But they might do this only after several years
Educate users that waiting for 15-60 minutes is OK
- But they will likely not agree
Use a 3rd party transcription service
- But this gets expensive
