Sangguniang Barangay, municipal sessions, public hearings · 3 to 5 hours

Transcribe a Hiligaynon barangay or LGU session and write the minutes from its brief.

A 3-hour Sangguniang Barangay or municipal session held in Hiligaynon is transcribed in about 6 minutes, with the motions, amounts and dates set out in a brief the secretary can draft minutes from. The first 20 minutes are free, and a 5-hour session fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes with 200 left.

For Sanggunian secretaries and LGU staff

A session is hours of motions, debate and figures. The minutes need the outcome of each one, stated correctly.

A brief shaped like an agenda

The brief states what the session settled and the takeaways for each item, which is the skeleton of the minutes before you write a word.

Figures said in the hall, listed

Budget amounts, project names, ordinance numbers and dates come back as a list with timestamps, so each one can be checked against the audio.

The members, named in the summary

The presiding officer and the members who moved, seconded or objected are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.

Phone or camera recordings

A session recorded on a phone, a camera or a laptop goes in as a file through the upload page; a copy on Google Drive can be pasted as a link.

Why the minutes take a week

A secretary who writes minutes from handwritten notes and a phone recording often spends more time on them than the session took.

✗ Minutes from notes and replay

Sessions mix formal English for the motions with Hiligaynon for the debate, and members talk over each other. The amount in a budget item is easy to mishear, and the recording is too long to search.

  • Notes that skip the debate behind a vote
  • Budget figures copied from memory
  • Hours of replay to confirm who seconded
  • The Hiligaynon discussion summarised loosely
  • Minutes delayed past the next session
  • Old sessions that nobody can search

✓ The same session here

The session comes back as text with times, and the pieces the minutes need are sorted.

  • A brief of each agenda item's outcome
  • Amounts, dates and project names listed
  • Chapters per agenda item
  • Questions raised from the floor, collected
  • A 5-hour session on the $6 pack
  • DOCX for the secretary's first draft

FAQ

Hiligaynon sessions, answered.

How long does a 3-hour session take?

About 6 minutes, since each hour of session audio takes roughly 2 to process. A 5-hour municipal session is back in about 10.

What do a year's sessions cost the barangay?

One 5-hour session is 300 minutes, so the $6 pack of 500 covers it with 200 minutes left. Ten sessions of 3 hours are 1,800 minutes and fit the $12 pack of 2,000. Twenty-four sessions of 3 hours, 4,320 minutes, sit on the $24 pack of 5,000.

Can we adopt the transcript as the minutes?

No. It is an AI transcript with timestamps to work from, not a certified or official record of the session. The secretary drafts the minutes from it, checks them against the audio, and the council approves them in the usual way.

How accurate is Hiligaynon for a session?

Hiligaynon is supported, but accuracy trails the major languages: expect a fast first draft and have someone who sat in the session give it one review pass. English motions and resolutions come back cleanly, and Tagalog is detected automatically.

The recording is one long video from the hall. Does it need splitting?

No, as long as it stays within 10 hours or 5 GB, whichever comes first. A session that runs past 10 hours goes in as two files. Until a pack is on the account, single uploads are capped at 2 GB.

What can I export, and who can see the recording?

TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, and each keeps the timestamps. On a session that names residents and cases: recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
