If you're a user with an assigned Sales Hub or Service Hub Professional or Enterprise paid seat, you can use Conversation Intelligence (CI) to transcribe and analyze recordings made through HubSpot’s calling tool, using HubSpot's integration with Zoom, or using a third-party calling provider that is integrated with HubSpot. After analyzing recordings, you can add inline comments to call transcripts to give targeted, contextual feedback to your reps. This enables you to coach your team more effectively and gain valuable customer insights from the recordings and transcripts.

Before you get started

Please note: automatic transcription is available for HubSpot's default content creation languages. HubSpot will transcribe the recording in the language selected in your account settings. Learn more about HubSpot's language offerings.
