Upload your Teams recording and get a transcript in seconds. Cockatoo delivers the accuracy you need at a speed that keeps your work moving.
Your Teams recording arrives as an audio or video file. Cockatoo extracts the words, identifies speakers, and delivers a transcript you can search, quote, and share. What used to take hours now takes seconds.
Cockatoo runs on its own transcription engine. Each release targets specific improvements: faster processing, better handling of accents, cleaner punctuation. You get the benefits of continuous improvement without switching tools.
Paste a link, upload from cloud storage, or drag a file from your desktop. Cockatoo accepts every common audio and video format. The engine detects the spoken language automatically.
Upload a video and Cockatoo pulls the audio for transcription. Export the transcript as plain text, a formatted document, or an SRT subtitle file ready to embed.
Your recordings and transcripts stay secure, and you can share files without switching services.
Cockatoo also translates documents. Upload a PDF, PowerPoint deck, or Excel file in another language and get it back in English, or the reverse. The layout stays intact, so you don't have to rebuild slides or reformat tables.
Cockatoo identifies who is speaking, adds punctuation, and capitalizes proper nouns and sentence starts. You get a readable transcript without manual formatting.
Open the transcript in the browser editor to fix names, correct technical terms, or adjust timestamps. When you need a summary instead of the full text, Canvas generates it in one click.
Export the transcript as an SRT file and embed it in your video for accessibility and search. Turn recorded presentations into searchable archives, or pull quotes from customer interviews without scrubbing through the timeline.
Let's agree on the next steps before we wrap up. What do we need for Friday's launch review?
I'll finish the checklist by Thursday and share it with the team. Then we can use Friday to review the open questions.
Great. I'll send the agenda today and make sure everyone has time to add their feedback.
