I have the following situation. I started working on a multinational project where daily meetings are conducted in English (my English level is B2). These meetings are coordinated and scheduled by the client through Zoom, and only a few (those that we organize) are scheduled through our corporate tool, Teams. In none of the meetings is it possible to use AI tools like Copilot or others to obtain transcripts in the meeting language or summaries. I currently use Apowersoft on my computer to record them. I am looking for solutions to:
a) Provide real-time translation to Spanish only during the meeting. This would help me understand the meeting and respond in English to the questions I am asked.
b) I currently record the meetings with Apowersoft, so I am looking for a tool that allows subtitles in the original language, but also in my language, Spanish.
c) Extract a high-quality summary, key points of the meeting, commitments, and analyze participation in the meeting.
Please suggest any current tools I can use on my computer or mobile phone, or propose devices available on Amazon that might also be helpful.

With the cooperation of the host you can receive real-time closed captioning in Spanish or the host can provide aural translation via a separate person speaking in Spanish. There are also physical devices that can listen to the english audio and translate into Spanish.

@Critogo2024 Zoom is providing the translated captions feature for that. For this, the host needs to have a Zoom Workplace Business Plus, Workplace Enterprise Plus account, or the Zoom Translated Captions add-on assigned to their account.
The host needs to activate the feature in the web settings.
Then people can activate the translated captions in the meetings.
Every participant in a meeting has to set two things, when translated captions is activated:
Speaking Language: The language in which the participant is speaking
Caption Language: The language that the participant wants captions to appear in
In addition you can select to simultaneously see the transcript in the original language and the translation (they will be color coded differently).
So, in your setting, you would have to set your speaking language to English (and your caption language to English). And your Spanish speaking audience would need to set their speaking and caption language to Spanish.
Can you verify whether that works for you? The option to see both, transcript in the original language, and translation often helps in detecting and debugging issues with settings.
