Find All Your Meeting Transcriptions
The Transcriptions drawer is one place to find every meeting transcript you have access to — no matter where the meeting happened. Instead of hunting through individual channels, sessions, or apps, you open a single right-side panel that gathers all your recordings together, grouped by month, with a search box at the top. Click any entry and the right transcript viewer opens, ready for playback, speaker panels, and AI actions.
Where your transcriptions come from
The drawer brings together transcripts from three different sources, so you never have to remember which one a meeting was recorded with:
- Meeting-bot recordings — transcripts captured from meetings you held on external meeting platforms (the ones you join with a link from another app).
- Desktop recordings — transcripts made with the Copera desktop recorder, including in-person meetings recorded right from your computer.
- Voice-channel recordings — transcripts from Copera meeting-channel voice sessions, started with the transcription button during a live call.
Each entry shows a small source icon so you can tell at a glance where a recording came from.
Opening the drawer
- Look for the microphone icon in the right action bar.
- Click it to open the Transcriptions drawer on the right side of the screen.
- Browse, search, or click any transcript to open it.
My transcriptions vs. Shared with me
The drawer has two sections:
- My transcriptions — recordings you own or were present for.
- Shared with me — transcripts that someone else recorded and later shared with you. Each of these entries also shows the owner's avatar, so you always know who shared it.
Both sections are grouped by year, then by month, with the newest recordings at the top. You can collapse a whole section or an individual month to tidy up the list, and each section and month shows a count of how many transcripts it contains. When a section has nothing in it yet, a friendly empty state explains what will appear there.
Searching for a transcript
Type in the search box at the top of the drawer to filter both sections at once. Results update as you type, so you can find a meeting by its title without scrolling through months of history. Clear the box to return to the full, grouped list.
Give your recordings clear, consistent titles (for example, "Weekly Sync — Marketing") and the search box becomes the fastest way to jump straight to the meeting you need.
What each entry shows
Every transcript in the list gives you the key details before you even open it:
| Detail | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Source icon | Where the recording came from (meeting-bot, desktop, or voice channel) |
| Title | The name of the meeting or recording |
| Date and time | When the recording was made |
| Duration | How long the recording ran |
| Owner | (Shared with me only) Who recorded and shared it |
Opening a transcript
Click any entry to open it in the viewer built for its source. From there you get the full experience for that recording — playback, the speakers panel, the transcript text, and the AI tools described in AI Summaries. Closing the viewer returns you to the drawer so you can pick another one.
Limits and Notes
Access is session-based. You only see transcripts you were present for (while the recording was active) or that were explicitly shared with you afterward. Joining a channel after a recording has stopped does not add it to your drawer. See Transcription Access Control for the full rules.
- Mobile transcriptions — coming soon. The drawer shows a "Mobile transcriptions" entry marked as coming soon; recordings made on mobile devices will join the same list when that arrives.
- The drawer reflects your access in real time — newly shared transcripts appear in Shared with me, and recordings you remove access to disappear from your list.
- The drawer is for finding and opening transcripts. Recording, sharing, and AI actions happen in the transcript viewer and the meeting itself.
Example Use Cases
- Find last week's call fast — you remember a Zoom-style meeting happened on an external platform but not which channel; open the drawer, search the title, and open it in seconds.
- Catch up on a meeting you missed — a teammate shares a recording with you; it lands in Shared with me, grouped under this month, with their avatar so you know who sent it.
- Review a month of meetings — collapse everything except the month you care about and scan titles, dates, and durations to pick the recording you need.
- Pull a quote for follow-up — open a transcript straight from the drawer and use AI chat to ask exactly what was said about a topic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find all my meeting transcriptions in Copera?
Open the Transcriptions drawer from the microphone icon in the right action bar. It gathers every transcript you can access in one place — recordings captured from external meeting platforms, recordings made with the Copera desktop app, and recordings from Copera meeting-channel voice sessions — without you having to remember which channel or meeting each one came from.
What is the difference between My transcriptions and Shared with me?
My transcriptions are recordings you own or were present for. Shared with me are transcripts that someone else recorded and later shared with you. Both sections are grouped by year and month with the newest recordings first, and each entry in Shared with me also shows the owner so you know who shared it.
Can I search across all my transcriptions?
Yes. The search box at the top of the drawer filters both My transcriptions and Shared with me as you type, so you can find a meeting by its title without scrolling through months of recordings.
Why can I not see a transcription that a coworker has?
Transcript access is session-based. Only the people who were present while a recording was active can see it by default, plus anyone it was explicitly shared with afterward. If you joined the meeting after the recording stopped — or were never invited to the transcript — it will not appear in your drawer until someone shares it with you.
When will mobile transcriptions appear in the drawer?
The drawer already shows a "Mobile transcriptions" entry marked coming soon. Once available, recordings made on mobile devices will appear in the same list alongside your other transcripts.
