We're excited to introduce the Session Transcript tab-now available in the Session Viewer for all sessions in SimCapture! This new feature makes it easier than ever to review spoken content, search for key moments, and share excerpts for documentation or debriefing.

What Is the Session Transcript Tab?

The Session Transcript tab is a dedicated space within each session that displays a full-text, time-stamped transcript of all audio captured during the session. It helps users:

  • Quickly scan what was said during the session
  • Search for keywords or phrases using your browser's Find function
  • Copy and share relevant excerpts for documentation or debriefing

Permissions & Access

  • If you can view a session video, you can also view and generate transcripts.
  • Only System Admins and Session Owners can delete transcripts.

How to Use the Transcript Tab

Generate Transcript

Generate a Transcript

  1. Open any session in SimCapture. Note: Sessions without audio cannot be transcribed.
  2. Select the Session Transcript tab.
  3. Select the Generate Transcript button.
  4. A loading indicator will appear while the transcript is being processed.
  5. Once complete, the transcript will be displayed and synced with session timestamps.

📌 Accuracy Note: Transcription quality may vary depending on audio clarity, speaker volume, and background noise.

Generated Transcript

Delete a Transcript

Only System Admins or Session Owners can delete a transcript:

  1. Go to the Summary tab of the session.
  2. Select the kebab menu (three vertical dots).
  3. Select Delete transcripts.
  4. Confirm by selecting Delete.

Deleted transcripts can be re-generated at any time using the Generate Transcript button.

Key Features

  • Speaker Identification: Transcripts differentiate speakers for better context.
  • Time-Synced Playback: Use the transcript as a reference to manually navigate forward and backward through the session video.
  • Searchable Text: Use your browser's Find function to locate specific terms or phrases.
  • Locale-Aware Transcription: Transcripts are optimized based on your site's language and regional settings.

FAQs

Can SimCapture transcribe the recordings of any Session in my Sessions List?

Well, almost… SimCapture can transcribe a recording only if a valid audio file is associated with the video. If no audio is present when the recording is captured, a transcription will not be generated.

Is transcription available in different languages?

Yes! Transcriptions are generated in the language set in each SimCapture site's Setup > General > Languages setting.

Who can view transcripts?

Anyone who can view a Session can also view the transcript for that Session.

Who can create transcripts in previously recorded sessions?

Any user with access to a past Session (that does not already have a transcript) can generate one by clicking the Generate Transcript button.

Who can delete transcripts?

Only users with the role of SysAdmin or Session Owner can delete transcripts.

Will this transcript enable assessment based on AI?

Not yet. This feature is a first step toward AI-based assessment, but it is not included in the current release (MVP).

Can we edit and modify translated text that was not transcribed properly?

No. Like Microsoft Teams and other AI-generated transcripts, SimCapture provides a disclaimer:

"Transcription provided by AI. Please check for accuracy." There is no built-in editor or approval system for modifying transcripts.

Does transcription work with Mobile Camera if multiple devices are recording at the same time?

Yes, as long as the sessions are being captured while connected to the system.

Note: Offline mobile sessions are not supported in the MVP.

Does transcription work for SimCapture with Skills recordings?

Yes. SimCapture with Skills recordings are transcribable once they are accessible from the Sessions list.
