Transcribe a French union meeting in Canada every motion and vote, findable.
A French-language union assembly in Canada can run two to five hours, and a 5-hour recording comes back here as French text in about 10 minutes, with each motion and vote in its own chapter. The first 20 minutes are free, and a 5-hour assembly uses 300 of the 500 minutes in the $6 pack.
From the assembly floor
The motion, the amendment and the count, without replaying five hours.
The whole assembly in one go
A general assembly recorded on a phone, a hall's sound system or a video call goes in as one file, up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Upload it on upload page as soon as the meeting ends.
Motions as chapters
Each proposition, its amendments, the debate at the microphones and the vote become chapters with start times, so the secretary drafts the procès-verbal item by item.
Numbers from the bargaining update
Wage figures, percentages, dates of the next meeting and vote counts announced from the chair are listed beside the text. Compare them with the written tally before circulating them.
Answers for members who missed it
Members can ask the chat what was proposed on scheduling or what the executive said about the mandate, and it answers from the transcript with the timestamp.
Why assemblies are hard to write up
Long debates at the microphone, and one person writing the record.

FAQ
French union meeting recordings, the common questions.
How long does a 5-hour assembly take?
Roughly 10 minutes, at about 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 2-hour local meeting takes about 4. The secretary can have the text before the executive meets the next morning.
What does a three-day union congress cost?
Three days of 7 hours is 1,260 minutes, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. A single assembly of up to 8 hours fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes. All prices are USD and no subscription is involved.
Is the transcript an official procès-verbal?
No. It is a timestamped working text that the secretary uses to draft the minutes; the assembly adopts its minutes as usual. The text helps settle what an amendment actually said, as long as the recording captured it clearly.
Members speak French and English at the mic. Does that work?
The recording is detected on its main language, French, and English interventions are handled inside the same transcript. Proper names and acronyms are worth one read.
The video of the assembly is very large. Will it upload?
Up to 5 GB per file, with files over 2 GB starting once a pack is on the account. An audio recording of 5 hours is a small fraction of that size. Placing the recorder near the floor microphones, not only at the head table, helps the interventions come through clearly.
Which formats can I export, and who sees the recording?
Take the procès-verbal draft as DOCX, a plain copy as TXT, captions as SRT or VTT, or structured JSON for the union's archive. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
