User reviews

Meet Transcript was widely appreciated for its real-time transcription into Google Docs and privacy by not requiring bots. However, recently many users experience a critical '400 invalid_request' error blocking Google Drive access and login, rendering the extension unusable. Additionally, transcripts now lack speaker differentiation and formatting, decreasing utility. The developer appears unresponsive with no updates, leading to frustration. Though it previously outperformed many alternatives, these ongoing issues significantly impact its functionality and user satisfaction.

Pros

Does not require adding a bot to the meeting, maintaining privacy from other participants.
Names Google Docs based on the meeting's calendar name, aiding in organization and search.
Was highly effective and simple compared to other transcription apps, praised for its integration and functionality.
Supports multiple languages for chat message transcription.

Cons

Currently experiencing a persistent '400: invalid_request' error preventing Google Drive access and OAuth login.
Transcripts have degraded from structured speaker-separated text to a single unformatted paragraph, reducing usability.
Lack of updates and developer response, leading to unresolved bugs and loss of functionality.
Extension stops working after initial use; logo disappears, and transcription halts.
Users report inability to save transcripts to Google Drive due to the above errors and no official fixes.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Meet Transcript requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
