Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the subject technology provide for transcription of audio content during a conferencing session, such as an audio conferencing session or a video conferencing session. The transcription can be generated by the device at which the audio input is received, and transmitted to a remote device at which the transcription is displayed. Video content can also be provided from the device that generates the transcription to the remote device that displays in the transcription. The transcription can be provided with time information corresponding to time information in the video content, for synchronized display of the transcription and the corresponding video content.
