Transcribe board meeting and AGM recordings with the figures pulled out.
A board meeting or AGM recorded in South Africa, typically two to five hours, comes back as text in about 4 to 10 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, a five-hour meeting fits on the $6 pack of 500 minutes, and the decisions, figures and dates said are listed for the company secretary.
For the company secretary
Every resolution and number from a long meeting, checked against the minute it was said.
Numbers in one list
Revenue figures, budget lines, dates and names said during the meeting are pulled into one list. Checking the draft minutes against what was actually said takes minutes rather than an afternoon.
Agenda items as chapters
Chapters with timestamps follow the meeting's flow, from apologies and the financial report to the vote on each resolution. A director who asks how a point was put can hear it again.
A five-hour AGM in ten minutes
Five hours of meeting are back as text in about 10 minutes, so the first draft of the minutes can start the same day. Large hybrid-meeting videos go through upload page.
Questions from members, answered
The chat over the transcript finds what the chair said in response to a shareholder's question, and the summary names who raised it.
Why minutes lag the meeting
The secretary is taking notes and following the debate at the same time.
✗ Minutes from notes alone
Long governance meetings leave the minute-taker with notes that miss figures and exact wording. Directors then query wording that nobody can check.
- Hours of audio to relisten
- Figures checked against nothing
- Uploads refused after an hour
- No timestamp when a director queries a line
- Hybrid video too large to send
- Minutes circulated weeks later
✓ A text of the meeting
The minute-taker starts with the full text, the figures and the chapters.
- Roughly 10 minutes for a 5-hour AGM
- Figures and dates gathered in one list
- Chapters for each agenda item
- Directors named in the summary and quotes
- Search for any resolution
- DOCX to edit into minutes

FAQ
Board meeting and AGM recordings, answered.
How long does a five-hour AGM take to transcribe?
About 10 minutes at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A two-hour board meeting is usually ready in about 4.
What does a year of board meetings cost?
Ten meetings of three hours each are 30 hours, or 1,800 minutes, which the $12 pack of 2,000 covers. One five-hour AGM uses 300 of the $6 pack's 500 minutes. A board that also records its committee meetings can move up to the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes, about 83 hours. Prices are in US dollars and credits never expire.
Does it produce the formal minutes?
It produces the material for them: a brief, chapters, the figures and dates, key quotes and the full text. The minutes themselves are still drafted and approved by the board's own process.
Our hybrid meeting video is 3 GB. Can I upload it?
Yes, once a pack is on the account; uploads before the first pack stop at 2 GB. The per-file limit is 5 GB or 10 hours. A Google Drive share link works too, with no upload.
Which languages are recognised?
Board discussions in English, Afrikaans or Zulu are recognised without choosing a language; 99 are supported. A meeting that changes language is detected on its main language.
Which formats come out, and who sees the recording?
DOCX suits the company secretary, and TXT, SRT, VTT and JSON are there too. Board recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and you can delete any recording from your Library at any time.
