Transcription for union representatives member meetings, hearings and bargaining, as text.
A union representative's long recordings, from a 2-hour member meeting to a 4-hour bargaining session, come back as text at about 2 minutes per audio hour, so the bargaining session is ready in about 8 minutes. A busy month of meetings, hearings and talks at around 990 minutes fits the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes, and the opening minutes are a free preview.
What reps record
When the dispute turns on what was said, notes from memory are thin.
Member meetings
General meetings run long because members have a lot to say. Chapters split the recording at each agenda item, and the brief lists the motions, figures and dates that came up, so the report to members can be written from the text instead of from a reader's half-page of notes.
Grievance and disciplinary hearings
A hearing can turn on a single sentence from a manager. With the recording as text, you can search for the phrase, read what came before it and go to the timestamp to hear the tone. The transcript is an AI working copy for preparing the case, not a certified or official record and not legal advice.
Bargaining sessions
Long sessions over several weeks blur together. Each session's brief records the proposals and counter-figures as they were said, and a chat over the transcript answers questions like 'when did they first mention the shift allowance?' across a single session.
The caution: agree the recording first
Recording a hearing or a bargaining session without the other side knowing can sink the case it was meant to support. Agree in advance that the meeting is recorded, note it at the start of the recording, and follow whatever your agreement and the law where you are require.
Where the record goes thin
Two people's notes of the same meeting rarely agree.

FAQ
Union representatives' questions, answered.
How long does a hearing take to transcribe?
About 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 90-minute grievance hearing is ready in about 3 minutes and a 4-hour bargaining session in about 8.
What does a month of meetings cost?
Two member meetings of 2 hours (240 minutes), three hearings of 90 minutes (270) and two bargaining sessions of 4 hours (480) come to 990 minutes. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. A quieter month of 400 minutes fits the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes. The opening minutes are a free preview.
Is this an official record of the hearing?
No. It is an AI transcript to work from, not a certified or official transcript, and not legal advice. Check any line you rely on against the audio, which the timestamps make quick.
Can it tell the manager from the member?
Speakers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters when the recording introduces them, so open the meeting with a round of names. No bot joins a live call; this works on the recording afterwards.
What can I record on?
A phone voice memo, a handheld recorder or a call recording all work. Upload the file; the box here takes up to 500 MB and larger files continue on the main upload page, up to 10 hours or 5 GB. A meeting posted to YouTube can be pasted as a link.
Who can see member recordings?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Delete a recording from the account once the matter is closed, if that is your branch's practice.
