Any available API for live transcript of a meeting

I'm trying to build a productivity bot that need access to the live transcript that I need to further pass into few NLP models.Is there any API that can be used to fetch live transcript text?

Hi,

Where did you find the endpoint? Because obviously the reference doc does not have it and also corresponding resource is provided by another endpoint which is

 

GET me/onlineMeetings/{meetingId}/transcripts/{transcriptId}/content
GET users/{userId}/onlineMeetings/{meetingId}/transcripts/{transcriptId}/content

 

 

 

Also in the page, there is no information that this API returns live transcription. When we say live I understood as real-time during the meeting we could access the transcription.

    Hello Everyone - Sorry for delay in response.
    Currently we don't have any API to fetch live meeting transcript but you can get once the meeting is over:

      Can you receive transcript without recording meeting?
      Is it the same transcript that is generated by live caption engine just in a single container for the whole meeting? Or they are physically different text-to-speech engines?

        Hello r_o_c_k_D_o_l_l
        Yes, you can receive a transcript without recording the meeting. The transcript generated by the live transcription feature in Teams is the same as the one generated by the live captioning, except that it is saved in a single file for the whole meeting. They both use the same text-to-speech engine to convert the audio to text. This means that the transcript you receive is indeed generated by the live caption engine and is available after the meeting ends.

        Could you please refer this documentation :

      Alright so do you have other options on maybe how to get the audio itself? i've ran into quite some issues trying to do so.
