# Live Transcript

> Following a meeting as it happens, and taking notes against what was said

## Following a call

When a bot is configured with **Transcription: Real-time**, its transcript can be watched while the
meeting is still going. Segments appear as people speak, attributed to the speaker.

Open it from either place the live indicator appears:

* The **Live Transcript** action on an in-progress event, in **Calendar** or **Upcoming Events**.
* The waveform action on the bot's row in the [Bots tab](/meetings/bots-tab).

Either opens the live page in a new tab.

<Warning>
  **Transcription must be set to Real-time before the bot joins.** It is part of the bot's
  configuration, not a toggle on the live page. A bot recording with **Post-recording**
  transcription produces its transcript after the meeting ends and has no live view.
</Warning>

When you open the page mid-meeting, everything said so far is loaded first, then live segments
continue from where that left off. You do not miss the start by joining late.

## Live Replay

Once a bot reaches **Done**, the same action is offered as **Live Replay** — the recorded
transcript played back through the same surface, from the beginning.

## Notes

You can write notes against the meeting while it runs. Notes come in two kinds:

| Kind             | How to make one                                            | What it is attached to                   |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **General note** | Type into the note box and add it                          | The meeting as a whole                   |
| **Segment note** | Anchor the note to a transcript segment first, then add it | That specific moment in the conversation |

A segment note stays tied to the line it was written against, so a point made half an hour in can
be found again by its note rather than by scrubbing.

Notes taken here are the same notes shown against the recording afterwards — see
[Recordings](/meetings/recordings).

Each note records who wrote it. Everyone who can see the meeting sees every note, but **only the
note's author can edit it**.

<Note>
  The live page is a normal authenticated QuivaWorks page, and its notes are visible to everyone who
  can see the meeting. It is not a private scratchpad.
