# MeetStream Engine

> Use MeetStream's in-house transcription engine for meeting bot recordings: automatic language detection and optional translation, with no third-party processor involved.

MeetStream's own engine transcribes recordings in-house — no third-party transcription processor touches your audio. Language detection is automatic, and it can translate output.

## Enable

```json
{
  "meeting_link": "https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij",
  "bot_name": "Notetaker",
  "recording_config": {
    "transcript": {
      "provider": { "meetstream": { "language": "auto" } }
    }
  }
}
```

CLI: `meetstream bot create <link> -t meetstream`.

## Configuration reference

| Field       | Type    | Default | Notes                          |
| ----------- | ------- | ------- | ------------------------------ |
| `language`  | string  | `auto`  | Automatic detection by default |
| `translate` | boolean | `false` | Translate the output           |

## Fetch the transcript

Resolve `transcript_id` via `GET /bots/{bot_id}/detail`, then `GET /transcript/{transcript_id}/get_transcript`. Compare engines: [Transcription Providers](/guides/transcription-recordings/providers/transcription-providers).
