# Transcript & Captions

Turn spoken audio into a transcript and closed captions.

Enable **Transcript & captions** in your Birdie workspace under [**Settings → Recordings**](https://app.birdie.so/settings/recordings)**.**

Transcriptions are automatically generated in the **language detected** from the recording's audio.\
For example, if the speaker talks in Spanish, both the transcript and captions will be provided in Spanish.

Once a recording is processed, the transcript appears in the **Transcript** tab next to the player, and captions can be turned on during playback.

This feature helps teams review conversations, extract key details, and improve accessibility for all users.

{% hint style="info" %}
Transcripts only cover what was said out loud. Recordings with no audio are still fully usable: see [AI Summary](/birdie-docs/request-screen-recordings/ai-summary.md), which works from console logs, network requests, user steps and the screen itself.
