Transcribe an Arabic community meeting so the minutes match what the room decided.
A 2.5-hour Arabic community meeting recorded in Canada is turned into Arabic-script text in about 5 minutes, with Arabic detected automatically and English replies handled. Twelve monthly 2-hour meetings come to 1,440 minutes, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000 after the first 20 minutes free.
For the board secretary
Members come from many Arabic-speaking countries and some answer in English. One transcript holds the whole meeting.
Many accents, one room
A meeting where members from different countries speak, and the treasurer reports in English, is still one recording, detected on its main language with English handled. Read names and local terms carefully when you check the minutes.
Minutes from the brief
The brief lists the decisions and takeaways, and the questions the meeting answered, a head start on minutes in Arabic or English.
Budgets and dates pulled out
Amounts, dates and the names of people given tasks are listed with timestamps, from the hall rental to the date of the youth program. The chair and the members who spoke are named in the summary, so tasks read as assigned to a person.
Video of the AGM
A phone recording is usually small. A long video of the general assembly goes through the upload page. Before a first pack, uploads go up to 2 GB; one file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
Why minutes get contested
After a long AGM, three members remember three different votes.
✗ Notes alone
A secretary takes notes in two languages while chairing half the discussion. Members who missed the meeting hear about it in fragments on group chats, and the same questions come up again at the next session. Volunteers who rotate through the secretary role inherit a pile of recordings with no notes.
- Minutes written days later
- Votes nobody recorded clearly
- English-only tools that skip Arabic
- Members who missed the AGM uninformed
- Budget figures misheard
- Hours replaying a long recording
✓ From the transcript
The full meeting in Arabic script, with decisions and figures at the top. Members read the brief in a few minutes, the secretary works from chapters and listed figures, and a disputed point is settled by the timestamp. When the next secretary takes over, the association's past meetings are searchable text, not a folder of audio.
- About 5 minutes for a 2.5-hour AGM
- Chapters at each agenda item
- Chair and speakers named in the summary
- Amounts and dates listed
- A chat to confirm any decision
- A year of meetings on $12
Sample output
An association general assembly in Arabic, at the budget item.
An invented excerpt for illustration; not from any association's meeting. In English: 'We welcome everyone to the annual general assembly'; 'The treasurer will now present the budget'; 'Who agrees to the proposal?'; 'The proposal is approved by majority.'

FAQ
Arabic community meetings, answered.
How long does a 2.5-hour meeting take to transcribe?
About 5 minutes. A 3-hour AGM takes about 6, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. Upload after the meeting closes and the text is ready before the hall has been tidied.
How many meetings fit each pack?
Twelve monthly 2-hour meetings are 1,440 minutes on the $12 pack of 2,000. Three 2.5-hour meetings, 450 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500. Credits never expire, so leftover minutes carry to next year's AGM. A 3-hour AGM uses 180 minutes, so one AGM plus ten 2-hour meetings is 1,380 minutes, still inside the $12 pack.
Members speak different dialects. Is that a problem?
Arabic is detected automatically and the meeting is transcribed in Arabic script. Dialect words, names and place names are worth a check on the read-through before the minutes go out.
Can I test it before paying?
Yes. A first-time visitor gets the first 20 minutes free; a pack from $6 transcribes the rest of the recording from where the preview stopped.
Is the transcript the official record?
No. It is an AI transcript to work from, not certified or official minutes. The board approves its minutes in the usual way. Tell members at the start that the meeting is being recorded for the minutes.
Who sees the recording?
Only your account. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Exports are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON.
