Transcribe council meeting recordings from Swedish municipalities.
A 5-hour council meeting recorded in Sweden, such as a session of the kommunfullmäktige, is transcribed in about 10 minutes, and at 300 minutes it fits the $6 pack of 500. The brief gathers the decisions, figures and dates by agenda item, which gives whoever writes the minutes or the news report a place to start.
From a long sitting to a usable record
Hours of debate, organised by agenda item, with every figure traceable.
Paste the published video
When a meeting is published as a YouTube or Vimeo video, paste the link and the audio is fetched on our side. A live replay over 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account. A file from your own recorder goes on the upload page.
Debate, item by item
A council sitting moves through a long agenda, with some items over in a minute and others debated for an hour. Chapters follow those turns, so the item a resident asks about can be opened directly.
Members and positions
Each member who speaks is identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. That is enough to see which member argued what on an item, which is usually what a news report or a party office needs.
A year of sittings
Eight sittings of 4 hours in a year are 1,920 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes at $0.36 an audio hour. Credits never expire, so a quiet season costs nothing.
Why long public meetings stay unread
The video is public. Finding anything in it is not easy.
✗ Hours of video, no text
Residents, journalists and officials all need one item, and each of them has to scrub through the whole sitting to find it.
- Scrubbing five hours for one item
- Minutes written from handwritten notes
- Figures debated and then lost
- No search across past sittings
- Captions too thin to quote
- A per-hour fee for every meeting
✓ The sitting as a document
One link in, and the meeting comes back organised by item with its numbers listed.
- About 10 minutes for 5 hours
- Chapters by agenda item
- Decisions, figures and dates
- Members named in the summary
- A chat over the transcript
- $6 holds 500 minutes

FAQ
Council meetings in Sweden, the common questions.
How long does a 5-hour council meeting take to transcribe?
About 10 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 3-hour sitting is around 6.
What does a year of council meetings cost?
A 5-hour sitting is 300 minutes, inside the $6 pack of 500. Eight 4-hour sittings in a year are 1,920 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000. A municipality also recording its committees will pass that and fits the $24 pack of 5,000.
Can I paste the link to the published video?
Yes, for YouTube and Vimeo links, including live replays; a YouTube Live replay over 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account. Recordings that cannot be linked can be downloaded and uploaded, up to 2 GB before a pack and 5 GB after.
Will a 6-hour sitting go in as one file?
Yes. One file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so even a long budget debate stays in one transcript with one timeline.
Does it handle Swedish?
Yes. Swedish is among 99 languages detected automatically, with no setting to choose before you send the meeting.
What can we export, and is the audio private?
You get TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, plus the brief and the chapter list. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
