Transcribe a 2-hour parliament session and quote the debate down to the minute.
A 2-hour parliament session is 120 minutes of debate, and it comes back as timestamped text in about 4 minutes. A downloaded broadcast of that length is often 1 to 3 GB, so paste the YouTube link where one exists. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
One sitting
Question time, statements and debate, as text you can search.
Start from the broadcast
Many parliaments and regional assemblies publish sittings on YouTube, sometimes as a live replay. Paste that link and the session is fetched for you, with no 2 GB upload to think about. If the video lives only on an official archive site, download it and upload it here or on upload page.
One chapter per item
Oral questions, ministerial statements and each stage of a debate become chapters with their start times. The members who spoke are named in the summary, the key quotes and the chapters, so a researcher can find one member's contribution without watching the whole sitting.
Bills, figures and dates
The brief lists the bill titles, sums, dates and places mentioned, each with the minute it was said. For journalists that means the exact moment a minister gave a number; for staff it is the line to quote in a briefing note.
Not the official report
This is a working transcript for research, reporting and monitoring. The official record of the house is still the published one, and anything that will be cited formally should be checked against it. For a newsroom or a public-affairs team, the working text is available hours or days before that publication.
Why sessions go unread
The video is public. Finding one exchange in it is the hard part.
✗ Monitoring by video
Staff and reporters watch the broadcast and take notes as it runs.
- Two hours watched to find one answer
- A figure misheard and misquoted
- No text until the official report is published
- Auto captions without punctuation or names
- Downloads too large for most tools
- Notes that miss interjections
✓ Monitoring by text
The sitting becomes text, chapters and a list of what was said.
- About 4 minutes from the link
- A chapter for each question and debate
- Members named in the summary
- Figures listed with timestamps
- Captions for clips you publish
- Packs from $4 for 300 minutes

FAQ
2-hour parliament sessions, the common questions.
How long does a 2-hour sitting take?
About 4 minutes from a link or an upload. The published run at /proof/long-files shows 9.31 hours in 1,033 seconds, so even a long sitting day is quick.
What does a month of sittings cost?
A sitting week of four 2-hour sessions is 480 minutes, which fits the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
Can I use it instead of the official report?
No. Treat it as a working transcript for monitoring and research, and cite the official published record where a formal reference is needed.
The broadcast is a 3 GB video. Will it upload?
Paste the YouTube link if there is one. A large downloaded file starts with or without a pack, up to 5 GB; past that, save the audio only, which is far smaller.
What about a parliament that debates in more than one language?
Detection covers 99 languages automatically and settles on the language spoken most in the sitting. Passages in a second language are worth checking against the audio.
What happens to the files?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Delete them from your account whenever you choose.
