Glad the appointment worked out for you.
Of course. Shall we get started right away?
Yes – I'll record the conversation, is that okay?
Microsoft Teams has built-in transcription, but runs on Microsoft's cloud – which isn't enough for sensitive meetings depending on tenant setup. DeepScript transcribes the MP4 downloaded from Stream or SharePoint on our own infrastructure in Germany – with diarization, word timestamps and custom vocabulary in every tier. For DACH enterprises with strict GDPR compliance, the clean choice.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does DeepScript have that Teams itself doesn't?+
Three things: (1) Own hardware in Germany instead of Microsoft cloud (matters for strictly-regulated industries). (2) Custom vocabulary with unlimited terms, no M365 license-tier dependency. (3) Clean REST API and MCP server – Teams transcription only works inside the Teams app.
Can I auto-pipe SharePoint recordings?+
Yes, via Power Automate or a small custom connector: SharePoint trigger on new recording → download file → POST to DeepScript API → webhook returns finished transcript to a Teams channel or OneNote.
How are mixed-language meetings handled?+
Auto-detect runs per-segment – DE speakers use the DE model, EN speakers the EN model. Works well for enterprise meetings with the "English acronym in a German sentence" pattern.
Compliance advantage over Microsoft's own service?+
Microsoft 365 EU Data Boundary stores data in the EU, but Microsoft Inc. (US) remains the data processor with CLOUD Act exposure. DeepScript hosts at Hetzner Nuremberg – no US company in the processing chain. For banks, insurers, public sector, hospitals that's a material difference.
