Transcribe a French school board meeting motions and figures you can find.
A French-language school board meeting in Canada often runs three hours or more, and its recording comes back here as French text in about 6 minutes, with motions, figures and dates listed. The first 20 minutes are free, and a 3.5-hour meeting uses 210 minutes, so two of them fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes.
For trustees, staff and parents
A long public meeting that people can read instead of replaying.
From the meeting video
Many boards publish meetings on YouTube; paste that link and nothing needs uploading. A recording kept on a drive goes in as one file, up to 10 hours or 5 GB, on upload page.
Agenda items as chapters
The opening, the director's report, the budget item, the public question period and closing become chapters with times, so a parent can open the question period without watching the rest.
Motions and numbers in a list
Amounts, enrolment figures, dates of consultations and the wording of motions are collected beside the transcript. Check them against the official documents before quoting.
Ask the meeting
Ask the chat what was said about transportation or a school closure and it answers from the transcript with the timestamp, in the language you ask in.

FAQ
French school board recordings, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour meeting take?
Expect about 6 minutes; a 4-hour meeting takes about 8. The work runs on our servers, so the page can be closed while it finishes. A board that posts its video the same evening can have the text ready for the morning after.
What does a full school year cost?
Twenty meetings of 3 hours come to 3,600 minutes, which goes on the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes. A board that meets ten times at 3 hours, 1,800 minutes, fits the $12 pack. Prices are in USD and the minutes stay on the account. Committee meetings can share the same pack as the regular sessions.
Is this the official record of the meeting?
No. It is a working transcript with timestamps for staff, trustees, parents or reporters to work from; the board's adopted minutes remain the record.
Some parents ask questions in English. Does that work?
The meeting is detected on its main language, French, and English questions or answers inside it are handled in the same transcript. The names of schools, streets and programs are the words to check before quoting a passage.
Is there a size limit?
Each file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, and before a pack is on the account uploads stop at 2 GB. A pasted YouTube link avoids the upload altogether.
Which exports are there, and what happens to the recording?
Downloads come as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON, which covers a staff summary, captions on the published video and a searchable archive. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
