Customize transcription language for each upload

You can now tailor the transcription language for each file upload without changing your Global language settings. It’s similar to how you can customize the language of individual meetings.

Customize transcription language for each upload

First, upload your audio or video files in MP3, M4A, MP4, or WAV format. Next, select the desired language from the dropdown menu and click Upload. That’s it.

This way, you can transcribe videos or audio files in different languages, say Japanese and Spanish, simultaneously without repeatedly changing the default settings.

Review your week at a glance with My Feed

Review your week at a glance with Fireflies Feed.

Fireflies now offers a personalized home page that spotlights the key takeaways and action items from your past meetings, sorted by week. With My Feed, you can easily review and gain valuable insights from your interactions as soon as you sign into your Fireflies account. It's a game-changer for staying organized and informed!

And, if you wish to access the full transcript, recording, and summary of a meeting, simply click on its name, and the meeting will open in your Fireflies Notepad.
