In the meeting

Once you are in a Google Meet call with the extension installed, JotMe adds an overlay to the page. It sits over Meet rather than replacing anything, and it has two tabs.

Transcription#

The live view: each turn of the call as text, with its translation underneath and the speaker's name against it. It scrolls as the meeting goes and stays anchored above Meet's own control bar.

Notepad#

A notepad on the same overlay, for the things you want to write down yourself. It is rich text, and what you write is kept with the meeting rather than living in a scratch file you lose.

The controls#

• Spoken language: what is being said in the call.
• Target language: what you read.
• Translation on / off: turn translation off to keep a plain transcript.
• Minimise: collapse the overlay when you need the whole Meet window, without stopping the transcript.

Captions have to be on#

The extension reads Meet's own caption channel. That is how it gets speech without recording your microphone. It switches captions on itself where it can, and Meet's caption button is the thing to check if the transcript stays empty.

First run#

The first time, the overlay walks you through picking languages before it starts translating, so your first meeting is not translated into a default you did not choose.

When you run out#

If your plan's translation allowance is spent mid-call, the overlay says so on the spot rather than quietly stopping. The transcript continues; translation is what stops. See Usage limits.
