How to get the full transcript from Granola (copy or download)

Granola shows your notes first. The full transcript is one click away: the waveform icon at the bottom of the note, then the copy icon. Desktop and iPhone.

  1. 1Open the meeting’s note in the Granola desktop app, on Mac or Windows.
  2. 2Click the transcript button: the waveform icon to the left of the “Ask anything” bar at the bottom. The full transcript opens in a panel.
  3. 3Click the copy icon at the top right of that panel. It copies the whole transcript, word for word. “Copy notes” copies the summary instead.
  4. 4Paste it straight into the box. You do not need a file.

On an iPhone, open the finished note, tap ··· at the top right and choose View transcript, then share it from there. Granola’s transcript may not carry timestamps, in which case we will not report pace rather than guess at it.

Common questions

How do I see the full transcript in Granola?
Open the note in the desktop app and click the waveform icon to the left of the “Ask anything” bar at the bottom. The transcript opens in a panel you can scroll and search. On an iPhone, tap ··· at the top right of the note and choose View transcript.
How do I get the raw transcript out of Granola?
Use the copy icon at the top right of the transcript panel. It copies the whole transcript as text. The “Copy notes” button gives you the AI summary, which is not the transcript.
Can I download a Granola transcript as a file?
There is no download for a single meeting. Settings, Profile, Generate CSV emails you a file of all your notes with their transcripts, once a day. For one meeting, copying from the transcript panel is quicker. On paid plans the transcript is also available through Granola’s API and Zapier.
Why can’t I find the transcript in a shared note or on the web?
Granola shows transcripts in its apps only. A note opened on the web, or shared by link, shows the notes without the transcript. Open it in the desktop app instead.
How does Granola label the speakers?
On Zoom, Google Meet and Teams calls in the desktop app, by name. Otherwise your own voice is “Me” and everyone else is “Them”. The iPhone app uses Speaker A, Speaker B. After you paste, you say which speaker is you.
Does the Granola transcript have timestamps?
Often not. Without timestamps, speaking pace and interruptions cannot be measured, and a good analysis will say so rather than estimate them.
