Transcribe board meetings and AGMs in Japan with every decision and figure listed.
A board meeting or shareholders' meeting in Japan of 2 to 5 hours goes in as one file and is transcribed in about 2 minutes per audio hour, so 4 hours takes roughly 8 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and a 4-hour meeting uses 240 of the 500 minutes in a $6 pack.
What the company secretary gets
The resolutions, the numbers and the questions, without replaying four hours.
Resolutions and amounts, collected
The names, numbers and dates said in the meeting are pulled out beside the transcript. A dividend figure, a vote result or a date for the next meeting is a search away rather than an hour of listening.
Eight minutes for four hours
Each hour of audio takes about 2 minutes to process. A 2-hour board meeting is ready in around 4 minutes, a 5-hour shareholders' meeting in around 10.
Questions from the floor, answered
The brief lists the questions the recording answers, which suits a shareholders' meeting where many questions arrive in a row. The chat over the transcript finds the answer to any one of them.
Kept between you and the file
Board audio is sensitive. It is processed on our own servers, never used for training, and you can delete the recording and its transcript whenever you choose.
Why meeting minutes take so long
Long board recordings are kept, but rarely used.
✗ Minuting by replay
Drafting minutes from a recording means listening to it again, often more than once. The figures that matter most are also the ones most easily misheard.
- Hours of audio replayed for the minutes
- Figures copied wrongly from notes
- Short-file tools that refuse the meeting
- Sensitive audio sent to unclear places
- No record of which question was asked when
- A subscription for a few meetings a year
✓ Minutes from the text
Upload the recording and start the minutes from a brief, chapters and a list of figures. The secretary reviews and corrects instead of writing from scratch.

FAQ
Board and shareholders' meetings from Japan, the common questions.
How long does a 4-hour board meeting take to transcribe?
Roughly 8 minutes, at about 2 minutes per audio hour. A 2-hour meeting is usually done in about 4. You can leave the page while it runs. A shareholders' meeting of 5 hours takes about 10.
What does a meeting cost on a pack?
A 4-hour meeting is 240 minutes, which fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes and leaves 260. A year of monthly 3-hour board meetings plus a 5-hour shareholders' meeting is 2,460 minutes, which the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes covers. Credits never expire.
How large can the board recording be?
One board recording can reach 5 GB and 10 hours. Before the first pack the limit is 2 GB, and a bigger video starts once a pack is on the account. An audio-only recording keeps the file small.
The meeting went past 10 hours. How should it be uploaded?
Upload it as two files, cut at a break between sessions. Each part comes back with its own timestamps and chapters.
Does it handle Japanese, and meetings with English presentations?
There is no language setting: Japanese is recognised automatically, as are 98 other languages. A meeting that moves between Japanese and English is detected on its main language, so read the passages in the other language against the recording.
Which exports are available, and how is the recording treated?
Downloads come as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, and DOCX drops straight into a minute book draft. For board material in particular: recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
