Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your org is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.]. (2-3 sentences)

I would like to be able to collapse the call transcription, when created in a talk ticket. it makes sense to be able to do so as some calls can be very lengthy, with the transcription taking up so much room.

What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences) 

It will stop ticket lengths being longer than they should be.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? (3-4 sentences)

We turned off the option to see transcripts, not utilising the feature and its benefits.

Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)

No current work around or option to choose this, to my knowledge.

What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)

Simply have a + button which we can use to open the transcript when needed. The transcript should remain minimised once the call ends.

Hi @aaran

 

Thanks for the feedback! This is in our backlog. We will update this post as soon as we have a concrete timeline.

+1 our tickets get very long and it becomes an obstacle to read through ticket history with such long transcripts, especially when the transcripts glitch out and include more lines than necessary.

In our environment, long calls (30–60+ minutes) generate extremely large transcripts. When Show call transcripts on tickets is enabled, those transcripts dominate the ticket view and significantly reduce readability for agents.

As a result, we often disable transcript display entirely—even though the transcript itself is still valuable.

One related improvement that would pair very well with collapsible transcripts would be the ability to download or export the call transcript (e.g. TXT) without having to inject the full text into the ticket conversation.

That would allow teams to:

  • Keep tickets readable for day‑to‑day work
  • Still leverage transcripts for AI processing, summaries, compliance, or audit workflows
  • Avoid turning transcription off just to preserve ticket usability

A collapsible UI + optional transcript export would make Talk transcription far more usable for longer calls.

Hi ​@Roland14 

We completely understand the importance of this feature. We are looking into how to add transcripts to a collapsible voice comment. We can't commit to a timeline yet, but we will try to prioritise this as soon as possible.
