Transcribe a 90-minute board meeting so the minutes match what was decided.
A 90-minute board meeting is transcribed in about 3 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per audio hour; a room recording is around 86 MB and a Teams or Zoom video a few hundred MB. The meeting uses 90 of the 300 minutes on the $4 pack, after a opening minutes that are free.
From the board table to draft minutes
What was moved, what was approved and the figure it was approved at.
The recording you already have
Boards record on a speakerphone in the middle of the table, a handheld recorder next to the chair, or the cloud recording of a hybrid Teams or Zoom meeting. All of those are MP3, M4A, WAV or MP4 files that upload as they are. Ninety minutes of room audio is about 86 MB, far below the 5 GB a file can be.
Three minutes, then the draft
At about 2 minutes per hour of audio, a ninety-minute meeting is text in roughly three. The secretary can start the minutes the same afternoon, while the discussion is still fresh for everyone who has to approve them.
The board's year in minutes
One meeting uses 90 of the 300 minutes in the $4 pack. Add an audit committee as well and the $32 pack of 6,000 is the fit.
Resolutions, figures, dates
The brief lists the decisions taken, the budgets and amounts approved and the dates set. Directors are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, so the mover and seconder of a motion are easy to confirm. Each agenda item becomes a chapter with its start time, and large recordings go through upload page.
Why minutes take a week
The secretary was taking notes and voting at the same time.
✗ Minutes from memory
A board secretary juggles the discussion, the papers and the notebook, then rebuilds the meeting later.
- Motions noted without the seconder
- An approved amount written down wrong
- An hour of audio replayed for one vote
- Draft minutes circulated a week late
- Directors disputing what was agreed
- No way to check how an item was argued

FAQ
Ninety-minute board meetings, the usual questions.
How long does a 90-minute board meeting take to transcribe?
About 3 minutes. Speed is roughly 2 minutes per audio hour; our proof page shows 9.31 hours of audio processed in 1,033 seconds, so even an all-day strategy session is minutes of waiting.
What does a year of board meetings cost?
Each meeting is 90 minutes. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes. A board that meets monthly uses 1,080 minutes a year, inside the $18 pack of 3,000. Credits never expire and there is no subscription to cancel.
Can the transcript stand as the minutes?
Use it as the source for the minutes rather than the minutes themselves. Minutes are a summary the board approves; the transcript gives the secretary the exact wording and timing to write that summary from. Check names and figures before circulating.
One director dialled in by phone. Will that part come through?
Usually, if the speakerphone carried the voice clearly into the room. Phone audio is narrower than room audio, so read those passages carefully. A Teams or Zoom recording captures remote directors directly, which tends to be cleaner.
What if we hold an in-camera session?
Stop the recording or cut that section out of the file before uploading. Only what is in the file is transcribed, and you can delete the file and its transcript from your Library at any time.
Which exports are there, and is the recording kept confidential?
Board recordings export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Board recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used to train a model.
