Transcribe a 3-hour parliament session and quote the member to the minute.
A 3-hour parliamentary sitting is 180 minutes of audio and returns as searchable text in about 6 minutes. The $6 pack of 500 minutes covers two such sittings with 140 minutes left, and the first 20 minutes cost nothing.
For reporters, researchers and staffers
A three-hour sitting moves through several debates. The text lets you jump to the one you are covering.
What the sitting settled, up front
The brief states the main business of the sitting and the positions put forward, so a reporter filing on deadline sees the shape of the day before reading a single speech.
Each debate as its own chapter
When the presiding officer calls the next item, the chapter changes, with a title and a start time. A second reading at 01:47 is one click away.
Numbers that end up in the story
Spending figures, bill numbers, dates for a vote, the count of a division announced from the chair: each spoken figure is listed with the minute it was said.
Ask the transcript
Type “what did the opposition say about the budget” and the chat answers from the text of the sitting, pointing to the passages it used.
Why the official record is not enough today
The written record of a sitting can take days. The broadcast is available tonight.
✗ Waiting or scrubbing
Many chambers publish an edited written record some time after the sitting. Until then, the only source is the broadcast, and three hours of it is slow to search by ear.

FAQ
Three-hour parliamentary sittings, answered.
How fast is a 3-hour sitting transcribed?
In about 6 minutes. A longer sitting day of eight or nine hours fits in one file as well and takes closer to 16 to 18 minutes.
What does it cost to follow parliament for a week?
One 3-hour sitting uses 180 minutes, so the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers two. A sitting week of four days at three hours each is 720 minutes and belongs on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, which carries over to the next week because credits never expire.
Can I paste the chamber's broadcast link?
If the sitting is published on YouTube, Vimeo or as a Google Drive link, paste it and nothing needs to be uploaded. A recording you saved from another site goes in as a file of up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Before your first pack the upload limit is 2 GB.
Does it handle interjections and points of order?
The speech is transcribed, including short interjections when they are audible over the main speaker. When several members talk at once, the loudest voice usually wins, so check heated passages against the audio using the timestamp.
Which languages can a sitting be in?
Ninety-nine languages are detected automatically, among them Tagalog, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Hebrew, Afrikaans and Zulu. A bilingual chamber is detected on the main language of the recording, and English with Tagalog in one sitting is handled.
Which exports come with it, and where is the audio processed?
Plain TXT and DOCX for copy, SRT and VTT captions, and JSON with timestamps for researchers. Processing happens on hardware we run ourselves. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
