The documentation for the current version is located at [Unaric Voice for Teams](https://docs.unaric.com/unaric-voice-for-ms-teams). ::: With Live Transcription, you can read along during an active MS Teams call from the Salesforce window. ::Image[]{src="https://helpserver.biz/onlinehelp/cdc/sf/5.0/help2000/images/live-transcription-conversation.png" size="36" width="475" height="617" darkWidth="475" darkHeight="617" position="center" showCaption="false"} ## How it works Live transcription for Microsoft Teams calls is available in the Salesforce utility bar, giving users real-time voice-to-text during active calls. After the call ends, the saved transcription can be viewed again in the related Salesforce Task. Live Transcription only works during active MS Teams PSTN calls. When a call is active, the **Start **button becomes available. Otherwise, a message indicates that no active call is detected and the** Start** button is disabled. ::::VerticalSplit{layout="middle"} :::VerticalSplitItem ![](https://helpserver.biz/onlinehelp/cdc/sf/5.0/help2000/images/live-transcription-active-call-detected.png "Active call") ::: :::VerticalSplitItem ::Image[]{src="https://helpserver.biz/onlinehelp/cdc/sf/5.0/help2000/images/live-transcription-no-active-call.png" size="80" width="379" height="469" darkWidth="379" darkHeight="469" position="center" caption="No active call" showCaption="true"} ::: :::: If you reload the browser tab while using Live Transcription, the tool will reconnect and continue working automatically and previous transcriptions will be restored. New messages always appear at the bottom and will scroll down as the conversation continues. If you scroll up, auto-scroll pauses. Use the downward arrow to return to the live view. Switching between tabs while transcription is running might cause delays. To re-sync transcription, refresh it using the **Refresh** button (:FontAwesome[]{icon="fa-solid fa-arrow-rotate-right"} icon). ## Start Live Transcription Live Transcription is available as its own item in the utility bar: 1. When on a call, click **MS-Teams Transcription **in the Salesforce utility bar. The panel will open as a small tab. 2. Click the **Start** button (blue :FontAwesome[]{icon="fa-solid fa-play"} icon) to start transcription. Spoken words will be converted to text in real time. 3. Click the button again to pause or resume transcription. :::hint{type="warning"} If you encounter a **License missing or live transcription disabled for this user** message, contact your Salesforce administrator. ::: ## Switch languages Use the dropdown at the top to select your preferred language at any time. Your selected language will be saved for the next session. ![](https://helpserver.biz/onlinehelp/cdc/sf/5.0/help2000/images/live-transcription-language.png) ## View past transcription Once the call ends, the transcription in the panel is cleared. If configured by the admin, the transcription can be accessed again in the Salesforce Task created for the call. ![](https://helpserver.biz/onlinehelp/cdc/sf/5.0/help2000/images/live-transcription-reopen-in-task.png) ::Image[]{src="https://helpserver.biz/onlinehelp/cdc/sf/5.0/help2000/images/live-transcription-in-task.png" size="56" width="1676" height="1170" darkWidth="1676" darkHeight="1170" position="center" showCaption="false"} ## Setup :::hint{type="warning"} The full installation and Azure setup required for Live Transcription in version 7.9 must be performed by Unaric.
