Circle offers automatic transcription of videos uploaded to community posts, course lessons, and event recordings, generating searchable text transcripts and closed captions within seconds of upload. This feature is available to administrators on Business-tier plans and above and applies to member-facing video content.

When a video is uploaded in a supported language, Circle's AI engine automatically generates a transcript and closed captions. Transcripts become searchable within the community's search engine within minutes, allowing members to find content by words spoken in a video. Users can also navigate a transcript viewer to jump to specific moments in a video. The feature supports multiple languages, selectable in Community AI settings. According to Circle's knowledge base, the AI processes video content to generate the transcript; no third-party manual transcription service is described as the prior method.
