Can I share access to the transcript of a ZipDX conference call?

Can I share access to the transcript of a ZipDX conference call?
A: Yes. In the ZipDX web portal the conference organizer can get a link to share with anyone who needs to access the transcript.

There are two possible contexts for sharing access to a conference transcription:

  1. A conference that is currently in-progress.
  2. A completed conference.

There process is similar in both cases, but occurs in different places in the ZipDX web portal.

1. Conference In-Progress

If a conference is ongoing and being transcribed, the conference organizer can access the transcript via the In Progress Conferences section of the ZipDX web portal.

Clicking on the big gold Transcript button opens the transcript viewer. At the bottom of that page there are some controls use to share access to the transcript even as the conference is underway.

Begin by clicking on the Access link.

This will cause a pop-up menu to be displayed. The options available include:

  • Only You (default)
  • Anybody with Link – Allows view-only access.
  • Participants Only (+editing) – Requires a ZipDX login. Restricts access to only those who where invited to the conference. Allows them to make changes to the transcript.
  • Anybody with Link (+editing) – Requires a ZipDX login. Allows them to make changes to the transcript.

Once the scope of access is selected, click on the Share link to see the resulting URL.

Clicking on the link offered will automatically copy it to the clipboard. Paste it into your notes or messaging to others.

2. Completed Conference

When a ZipDX conference is completed, the organizer has access to the call details, including the transcript, in the Completed Conferences section of the web portal.

The superscript “t” appended to the Topic indicates the availability of the transcript. Simply click on the Topic to view the event details.

Click on the Access link to and select the scope of access desired from the resulting pop-up menu.

The options available include:

  • Only You (default)
  • Anybody with Link – Allows view-only access.
  • Participants Only (+editing) – Requires a ZipDX login. Restricts access to only those who where invited to the conference. Allows them to make changes to the transcript.
  • Anybody with Link (+editing) – Requires a ZipDX login. Allows them to make changes to the transcript.

Once the scope of access is selected, click on the Share link to see the resulting URLs.

Two items are offered in a pop-up menu:

  • View – A link that goes directly to the transcript viewer.
  • Embed – A snippet of HTML code allowing the transcript viewer to be embedded in a web page.

Clicking on either of the two items will automatically copy it to the clipboard. Paste it into your notes or a message to others.
