Key Capabilities

Our API delivers comprehensive meeting transcription with:

99 languages supported - Global teams, no problem
Unlimited speaker diarization - Know exactly who said what
Chat message transcription - Capture both spoken and written communication
Lightning-fast processing - 1 hour of audio processed in under 60 seconds

Powered by Advanced Technology

We've integrated with Gladia's proprietary Whisper-Zero ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition), optimized for real-life enterprise audio. This technology handles the dynamic nature of business meetings with high accuracy.

Key Features That Set Us Apart

High Accuracy (95% Success Rate)

Whisper-Zero ASR eliminates virtually all hallucinations from audio transcripts, ensuring reliable transcription quality.

Custom Vocabulary Support

Add industry-specific terms, product names, or technical jargon to boost transcription accuracy for your specific use case.

Word-Level Timestamps

Every word comes with precise timing information, perfect for creating searchable meeting archives or generating meeting highlights.

Advanced Noise Reduction

Background noise, multiple speakers, poor audio quality? Our algorithms handle it all gracefully.

Multiple Output Formats

Get your transcripts in plain text, SRT, or VTT caption formats - whatever works best for your workflow.

Code-Switching Support

Accurately transcribe conversations where speakers switch between languages naturally.

Translation Capabilities

Convert spoken language into written text in any of our 99 supported languages.

Real-World Applications

Automate Your Meeting Workflows

The real power comes when you integrate our API into your existing tools. Here are some practical use cases:

Notion Integration

Automatically create meeting summaries in Notion with action items, key decisions, and participant insights. Perfect for project managers and team leads.

Airtable + Make Workflow

Set up a powerful automation using Make (formerly Integromat) and Airtable:

Trigger: New meeting recording detected
Process: Meeting BaaS API retrieves transcription and metadata
Enhance: AI services add summaries and extract insights
Store: Automatically update Airtable with structured meeting data

This creates a searchable database of all your meeting content, making it easy to track decisions, follow up on action items, and maintain institutional knowledge.

Getting Started

Get Your API Key

Install the Package

Install the Meeting BaaS SDK using your preferred package manager:

npm install @meeting-baas/sdk

pnpm add @meeting-baas/sdk

yarn add @meeting-baas/sdk

Create a Client

Create a new instance of the BaaS client with your API key:

import { createBaasClient } from "@meeting-baas/sdk";

// Create a BaaS client
const client = createBaasClient({
  api_key: "your-api-key", // Get yours at https://meetingbaas.com
});

Make sure to keep your API key secure and never expose it in client-side code.

Retrieve Meeting Data

Use our REST API to get meeting transcripts and metadata:

curl -X GET "https://api.meetingbaas.com/bots/meeting_data?bot_id=string" \
  -H "x-meeting-baas-api-key: <token>"

The API returns comprehensive meeting data including:

Meeting duration and metadata
MP4 recording URL
Complete transcripts with speaker diarization
Word-level timestamps for precise synchronization

Use Our TypeScript SDK

For easier integration, use our official TypeScript SDK:

const { success, data, error } = await client.getMeetingData({
  bot_id: "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000",
  include_transcripts: true
});

if (success) {
  console.log("Meeting duration:", data.duration);
  console.log("MP4 URL:", data.mp4);
  console.log("Transcript count:", data.bot_data.transcripts.length);
} else {
  console.error("Error getting meeting data:", error);
}

Invoke Meeting BaaS Methods

With this client instance created, you can call Meeting BaaS methods, such as:

// Join a meeting
const { success, data, error } = await client.joinMeeting({
  bot_name: "Meeting Assistant",
  meeting_url: "https://meet.google.com/abc-def-ghi",
  reserved: true,
});

if (success) {
  console.log("Bot joined successfully:", data.bot_id);
} else {
  console.error("Error joining meeting:", error);
}

// Leave a meeting
const { success, data, error } = await client.leaveMeeting({
  uuid: "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000"
});

if (success) {
  console.log("Bot left the meeting successfully:", data.bot_id);
} else {
  console.error("Error leaving meeting:", error);
}
