Transcribe an Afrikaans farmers' meeting figures included.
A 3-hour Afrikaans farmers' association meeting is transcribed in about 6 minutes, with the language detected and the figures and resolutions pulled into a list. The first 20 minutes are free, and four quarterly meetings of 3 hours, 720 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
For the association secretary
The numbers, the motions and the guest speaker's talk, all in writing.
Every figure that was said
Tonnages, prices per kilogram, rainfall in millimetres and the dates of the next sale come back as a list beside the transcript.
Resolutions with their proposers
The summary names who proposed and who seconded, and chapters mark each motion so the vote can be heard again.
The guest talk as an article
When an agronomist or a co-op speaker presents, the brief turns their talk into a thesis and takeaways for members who stayed home.
A hall recording is fine
A phone or recorder at the front table is enough. A long video of the AGM goes through upload page.
Why association records are thin
The meeting runs until late and the minutes only record who attended.
✗ Minutes from scribbled notes
Members leave with their own memory of the prices quoted and the decisions taken, and no two agree.
- Prices quoted from memory
- Motions recorded without a seconder
- The guest talk lost entirely
- A 3-hour recording never replayed
- Software that assumes English speech
- The newsletter written a month late
✓ The meeting in writing
The whole evening comes back as text with its numbers set out.
- Roughly 6 minutes for the whole evening
- Afrikaans recognised automatically
- Figures and dates listed
- Speakers from the floor named in the summary
- Chapters for each motion
- Credits ready for the next AGM

FAQ
Farmers' association recordings, answered.
How long does a 3-hour association meeting take?
Allow about 6 minutes; processing takes roughly 2 minutes for each hour. An AGM that runs to 4 hours takes about 8. Members who drove home early can read the decisions the next morning instead of phoning around.
What does an association pay for a year of recorded meetings?
Four quarterly meetings of 3 hours are 720 minutes, which is more than the 500 in the $6 pack, so the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes is the right one and leaves room for an AGM and a study day. One 3-hour meeting alone fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes. The packs are billed in US dollars. Credits never expire, so a quiet winter season does not waste what was bought in summer.
Are numbers written as figures?
Spoken numbers, dates and amounts are collected in a list beside the transcript. Check important figures against the recording with the timestamp before they go into the minutes or a newsletter. Farm and crop names, cultivars and chemical product names may be spelt the way they sound, so a quick check on those words is worth doing.
Some members speak English. Is that handled?
The meeting is detected on its main language, Afrikaans, and switches into English are handled within the same text. A study day with several speakers can be sent as one long file or as one file per speaker, whichever you recorded.
Is there a size limit on the recording?
Each recording may be 10 hours or 5 GB at most. Before your first pack, the upload limit is 2 GB, and a file over that starts once a pack is on the account. English trade terms for markets, inputs and machinery stay in English in the text, as they were said.
What does the secretary download, and where is the audio processed?
Exports are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON; DOCX goes to the newsletter editor. The recording is processed on our own servers and never used to train a model; delete it from the Library whenever the association decides. A meeting recording usually holds members' opinions on prices and neighbours, so it is worth agreeing who keeps the audio and for how long.
