Method, apparatus, and computer program product for searchable real-time transcribed audio and visual content within a group-based communication system

A computing system comprising one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs stored in the memory for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for causing the computing system to:

• receive a group-based audio feed for an on-going group-based communication session, the audio feed comprising a plurality of sub-feeds, each sub-feed received from a respective client user of a plurality of client users participating in the group-based communication session and comprising a plurality of sequential audio snippets, wherein the group-based communication session is started from a group-based communication channel associated with a group-based communication channel identifier;
• convert the audio snippets from the plurality of sub-feeds into text strings using a speech recognition engine;
• assemble the text strings into a final assembled text string that is associated with the group-based communication channel identifier, a user identifier, and a group-based audio feed identifier, wherein the identifiers associate the group-based audio feed with the plurality of client users;
• cause display, at the group-based communication channel and to each of the respective client users while the group-based communication session is occurring, of a group-based communication session interface comprising the text strings so that the text strings are simultaneously displayed in real-time to each of the respective client users;
• and
• store the final assembled text string as a searchable transcript in the group-based communication channel associated with the group-based communication channel identifier.
