Transcribe a 6-hour legislative session every bill and motion, searchable.
A 6-hour legislative session is 360 minutes of audio and is transcribed in about 12 minutes; the chamber's archived video often runs to several gigabytes, the audio alone is roughly 350 MB, and a YouTube or Vimeo replay can simply be pasted as a link. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
A full sitting day
Floor debate you can search by bill number, not by scrubbing.
From the chamber's archive
Legislatures, county boards and state agencies usually publish sittings as a YouTube live replay, a Vimeo page or a downloadable video in their own archive. Paste the YouTube or Vimeo link; for an archive player without a supported link, download the file and use upload page.
Long replays and the 6-hour line
A YouTube Live replay that runs over 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
Bills, votes and amendments
Chapters break the sitting at each bill, motion and recess. The brief lists bill numbers, amendment numbers, tallies and dates as they were spoken, and the chat finds where an amendment was first moved, with the time to cite.
A session calendar, priced
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. A four-day week of the same length is 1,440 minutes on the $18 pack of 3,000.

FAQ
Questions about transcribing a long legislative session.
How quickly is a 6-hour session transcribed?
In roughly 12 minutes once the file or replay has been fetched, at about 2 minutes per audio hour. Keep the tab open: the transcript appears there the moment it is ready, and it stays in your Library.
Is one pack enough?
Yes. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes. A month of sittings usually calls for the $18 pack of 3,000 or the $32 pack of 6,000; credits are one-time and never expire. Before buying, a first-time visitor sees a free preview of the opening minutes.
Can I paste the chamber's livestream link?
YouTube and Vimeo links work, including YouTube live replays once the stream has ended. Replays over 6 hours start once a pack is on the account. For a player on the legislature's own site, download the video and upload it.
Is this the official record of the session?
No. It is an AI transcript for research, reporting and staff work, not an official journal or a certified transcript. Quote the chamber's own record wherever an official version is required.
What if the sitting ran past 10 hours?
One file holds up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so a marathon budget debate goes in as two files, split at a recess. Each part gets its own chapters and brief. Committee hearings recorded on the same day are best uploaded as their own files.
Languages, exports and privacy?
99 languages are detected automatically, and a sitting that switches language is detected on its main language. Exports come as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Session recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training.
