Use JotMe as a Zoom translator for live meetings or uploaded recordings. Read accurate translated captions, hear AI-generated speech, share the translation with participants and keep the complete transcript after the call.
Context Aware Zoom Translation
JotMe translates meaning instead of replacing words one by one. It uses the speaker, your work context, custom terminology and the preceding conversation to interpret slang, industry language and technical terms more accurately.
Zoom Voice Translation in Your Own Voice
Listen to the translation as AI-generated speech instead of reading every line. Voice-to-voice translation can reproduce your voice across more than 100 languages, helping conversations continue naturally when participants prefer audio.
More Than 200 Languages Live or From a Recording
Translate a live Zoom meeting or upload the recording afterward. JotMe supports more than 200 target languages and 39,000 language pairs, including regional variants used by international teams, clients and event audiences.
Saved Zoom Transcripts and Translations
Your transcript, translation and AI meeting notes remain available in the JotMe dashboard after the meeting. Review what was said, copy important passages and share the record with teammates who could not attend.
No Bot or Host Setup
JotMe works alongside Zoom on your computer and captures the meeting audio from your device. You do not need to invite a bot, install a Zoom Marketplace app or ask the host to enable translated captions. Share the output by link, QR code, or on-camera subtitles.
Custom Vocabulary and Automatic Language Detection
Add product names, technical terms and preferred translations before the call. JotMe can also detect the language being spoken, which helps when a Zoom meeting moves between speakers or languages.
