How can I create a text transcript from a zoom audio recording?

I have a 2.5 hour audio recording of a meeting that I would like to get a full text transcript for. Can I do this after the meeting has happened?

Dear @HeyNeighbour ,

Currently that is unfortunately not possible. If you want to have a transcription of a recording, this available for cloud recordings. But you need to enable the setting for creating a transcript, before you perform the recording. Please refer to this support article for details:

Yes, you can transcribe it after the meeting. Zoom has a cloud transcription option if the recording was stored there, but if not, you can upload the audio to third-party transcription tools like Otter or Rev and they’ll generate a full text transcript for you.
