Transcribe an SK council session and hand the secretary a draft, not a recording.
A 2-hour Sangguniang Kabataan session comes back as searchable text in about 4 minutes, with motions, amounts and dates said aloud listed with timestamps for the minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers four 2-hour sessions.
For SK secretaries and councils
The minutes need the motion, the mover and the vote. The transcript gives the secretary all three with a time.
Motions and their movers
The summary and key quotes name the council members, and a search for the motion takes you to the minute it was made and seconded.
Amounts for the budget items
Project costs, allocations and dates said aloud during budget discussions are pulled out with timestamps, so the minutes match the figures discussed. When a member later asks what amount was approved, the secretary can point to the exact minute.
The agenda, chapter by chapter
Call to order, reading of the previous minutes, committee reports, new business: chapters follow the agenda so each item is easy to minute.
Livestreams downloaded first
A session streamed on a Facebook page is downloaded from Facebook, then uploaded; a file on Google Drive can be pasted as a link instead.
Why minutes lag behind
An SK secretary is often a student too, writing minutes from a phone recording between classes.
✗ Minutes from the recording alone
Sessions are recorded on a phone or streamed, and the secretary replays them at night to write the minutes. When the next council takes over, the only record of past debates is a stack of audio files.
- Hours of replay for every session
- Motions minuted without exact wording
- Project costs copied down incorrectly
- Debate in the regional language left out
- Minutes approved two sessions late
- No searchable record for the next council
✓ That SK session, as text
The whole session comes back as text, ordered by agenda item and searchable.
- A brief with what the council decided
- Motions found by search
- Project costs and dates gathered
- Each agenda item its own chapter
- Four 2-hour sessions on the $6 pack
- A Word draft the SK secretary edits

FAQ
Sangguniang Kabataan session recordings, answered.
How long does a 2-hour session take to transcribe?
Expect it in about 4 minutes; each hour of session audio needs around 2 minutes. A 3-hour special session is about 6.
What will a year of sessions cost the council?
Twelve 2-hour sessions are 1,440 minutes and fit the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. If the council meets twice a month, 24 sessions of 2 hours are 2,880 minutes and fit the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes. Prices are in USD; check your own procurement rules before buying.
Can the council adopt the transcript as its minutes?
No. It is an AI draft with timestamps that the secretary works from; the minutes are what the council approves. Read each motion and amount against the recording before it goes in.
Our sessions mix Tagalog and Waray. Will the transcript be usable?
Tagalog and English are detected automatically, the switches between them are handled and English parts come back cleanly. Waray, Cebuano, Ilocano and the other regional languages are supported, but expect a fast first draft for those stretches and plan one review pass.
Our session video is long. Will it upload?
The council can send one file of up to 10 hours or 5 GB, whichever is reached first. A phone recording of a session is far below that; only uploads over 2 GB wait for a pack to be on the account.
What files come back, and is the session kept private?
The SK secretary can take TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. The session is transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and the secretary can delete it whenever the council chooses.
