# Get Transcript

Use the Speak AI MCP server tool `get_transcript` to retrieve the full transcript
for a media file with speaker labels and timestamps.

## What does it do?

Retrieve the full transcript for a media file with speaker labels and timestamps.
Works on processed media and also returns the partial, in-progress transcript while
a meeting bot is still recording (LIVE_TRANSCRIPT state). To fetch only the new
sentences added since your previous call during a live meeting, use
`get_live_meeting_transcript` instead. Use `update_transcript_speakers` to rename
speaker labels after reviewing. For subtitle-formatted output, use `get_captions`
instead.

## Parameters

`get_transcript` takes 1 parameter, all of them required.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mediaId` | string | Yes | Unique identifier of the media file |

## Behaviour

The Speak AI MCP server publishes these behaviour hints for `get_transcript`.

- Only reads data. Does not modify your workspace.
- Does not delete or overwrite existing data.
- Repeating an identical call is safe.
- Stays inside Speak AI. Does not reach other systems.
