Transcribe a 4-hour AGM with every motion and figure findable by timestamp.
A 4-hour annual general meeting is 240 minutes of audio and is transcribed in about 8 minutes; an audio recording of it is roughly 120 to 250 MB, and a hybrid meeting saved as video is commonly 1 to 3 GB. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
For company secretaries and committees
A long annual meeting, set out item by item before the minutes are due.
However the AGM was captured
Larger AGMs are often hybrid: a Zoom or Teams meeting, a YouTube livestream for remote members, or a room microphone feeding a recorder. Download the file and upload it, or paste the YouTube, Vimeo or Google Drive link. A livestream replay goes in by link without any upload.
The agenda as chapters
Four hours usually covers the chair's report, the accounts and auditor's questions, elections to the board or committee, special resolutions and open questions. Timestamped chapters follow the order the meeting actually took, including the items that were moved.
Numbers the minutes need
The brief lists the totals, fees, percentages, vote counts, names of candidates and dates said aloud, each with a timestamp so the secretary can confirm the figure against the recording before it enters the draft minutes.
A year of governance meetings
The AGM takes 240 of the 300 minutes in the $4 pack. Credits never expire.
Why AGM minutes take weeks
Four hours of procedure, and the exact wording of a resolution matters.
✗ Minutes from shorthand
The secretary takes notes while also tracking quorum, proxies and the speaking order.
- Resolution wording pieced together later
- Vote counts recorded in a rush
- Questions from members summarised loosely
- An afternoon of replay for one number
- Draft minutes weeks after the meeting
- Arguments about what the chair said
✓ Minutes from a transcript
The recording comes back as text with chapters along the agenda and the figures in one place.
- About 8 minutes for a four-hour AGM
- Agenda items as chapters
- Votes and figures in the brief
- Chair and members named in the summary
- DOCX into the minutes template
- 260 minutes or more left on the pack

FAQ
Four-hour AGMs: what secretaries ask.
How long does a 4-hour AGM take to transcribe?
About 8 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. The transcript can be in front of the secretary the same evening.
Is the transcript our official record?
No. It is an AI transcript to work from, not a certified or official record and not legal advice. Your minutes stay the document the secretary drafts and the members approve.
Which pack should we buy?
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. The opening minutes are a free preview.
The hybrid recording is 2.6 GB. Will it go in?
Up to 5 GB uploads in one file, with or without a pack on the account. The box on this page takes up to 500 MB and hands a bigger file to the main upload page. An audio-only export of four hours is a few hundred megabytes.
The AGM ran straight into an extraordinary meeting. One file or two?
Either works, as long as one file stays within 10 hours or 5 GB. Two files give each meeting its own brief and chapters, which keeps the two sets of minutes apart.
Who sees the recording?
Only your account. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete the file and transcript after the minutes are approved.
