# Get session transcripts

Retrieve transcription segments for a Meeting Buddy session.

Get all transcription segments for a session, ordered by `start_time`. Returns an empty list if transcription is disabled, no transcripts are available yet (session still initializing), or partial results if the session is still active.

Each transcript segment includes the transcribed text, a confidence score, start and end timestamps (in seconds from session start), speaker identification (if available), and the detected language code.

#### Path Parameters

**`session_id`** string required

The unique identifier of the session. Must start with `mbsess_` prefix.

## Returns

Returns an array of transcript segment objects. Each segment contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| `transcript_id` | string | Unique transcript segment identifier (prefixed with `mbtrans_`) |
| `text` | string | Transcribed text content |
| `confidence` | number or null | Confidence score between 0.0 and 1.0 |
| `start_time` | number | Start timestamp in seconds from session start |
| `end_time` | number | End timestamp in seconds from session start |
| `speaker` | string or null | Speaker identification (if available) |
| `language_code` | string | Detected language code |
| `created_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp when the segment was created |
