Zoom, Teams and Google Meet calls

1 min read

Situation

A video call with people who do not share a language: a weekly sync with a remote team, a vendor call, a customer support session, a job interview. Saydi works alongside any meeting application because it listens to the audio coming out of your computer.

Benefits

  • Live subtitles of what the other side says, translated, in a window next to the call.
  • What you say is translated as well; share your screen and the others can read it.
  • A written record of the whole call, useful for action items and for colleagues who joined late.

Mode and setup

Use Two-Way on the website or in the Chrome extension. Step-by-step instructions per application: Teams, Google Meet and Zoom.

  1. Click the microphone button at the bottom left and choose the audio source: System / Tab if you only need to translate the other side, Both if you speak as well and want your own words in the transcript.
  2. Keep the Saydi window next to your meeting application, or click Mini window to float it over the call.
  3. To let the others see the translation, share your screen and show the Saydi window.

Notes

  • Use headphones. Without them Saydi hears the other side twice: once from the call and once from your speakers.
  • Ask participants to unmute one at a time. Overlapping speech on a call is harder to process than in a room.
  • Enter names and project codes in AI Context before the call.

After the call

A transcript of the call in both languages in History. Copy the Translation only version into the meeting notes.
