Transcribe a senate hearing with Bisaya testimony from the replay link.
Paste the YouTube replay of a Senate or House hearing and an eight-hour session comes back as text in about 16 minutes, at about 2 minutes per hour of audio. The first 20 minutes are free, and a $6 pack of 500 minutes covers all eight hours; replays longer than 6 hours start once a pack is on the account. Questions put in English and Filipino come back clean, and testimony given in Bisaya is a fast first draft that needs one read.
Long hearings, one link
A full day of testimony, searchable by the evening.
Paste, do not download
Senate and House hearings are streamed and kept as YouTube replays that often run 4 to 8 hours. Paste the replay link and the audio is fetched on our side, so a video of several gigabytes never has to pass through your laptop. A replay longer than 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account.
Where the Bisaya comes in
Senators and representatives question mostly in English and Filipino. A resource person from the Visayas or Mindanao may answer in Bisaya, and a witness may move between all three. The main language is detected automatically and each answer stays in the language it was given.
Find the exchange you need
Chapters follow the hearing's segments, the brief lists the names, figures and dates said, and the chat answers questions such as what a witness said about a contract. Every key quote carries a timestamp so you can replay the moment before you cite it.
The arithmetic
Eight hours is 480 minutes, inside one $6 pack of 500. Someone following a whole inquiry across several hearing days would want the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, a little over 33 hours, or the $24 pack of 5,000.
Why hearings are hard to quote
An eight-hour replay is easy to watch and hard to cite.
✗ Scrubbing the replay
Reporters, staff and students scroll through hours of video to find one answer, then type it out by ear.

FAQ
Hearing replays, answered.
How long does an eight-hour hearing take?
About 16 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A four-hour hearing is ready in about 8. You can close the tab; the transcript waits in your Library.
What does an eight-hour hearing cost?
Eight hours is 480 minutes, which fits one $6 pack of 500 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free for a first-time visitor, and replays longer than 6 hours start once a pack is on the account. Several hearing days fit the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
Does it work from a YouTube link?
Yes, including live replays, and also Vimeo and Google Drive links. Nothing is uploaded from your side. A hearing saved only on Facebook has to be downloaded first and then uploaded; files up to 2 GB work before a first pack and up to 5 GB after.
How accurate is the Bisaya testimony?
Cebuano is supported, and its accuracy trails English and Filipino. Read Bisaya answers as a fast first draft and check them once against the audio, especially names and figures. English and Filipino questioning reads cleanly, and the English and Tagalog switches are handled.
Can I cite the transcript?
It is an AI transcript with timestamps to work from, not an official record of the hearing and not legal advice. Replay the timestamp before quoting anyone.
What can I export?
Exports cover TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, all made from the one hearing transcript. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
