Transcribe a Kapampangan barangay session and draft the minutes the same day.
A 4-hour Kapampangan barangay or municipal session is transcribed in about 8 minutes, and two sittings of that length fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes with 20 minutes left. The English resolutions and motions come back cleanly; the Kapampangan debate is a fast first draft that needs one review pass by the secretary. On a first visit, the first 20 minutes free show how the sitting reads before a pack is bought.
For secretaries and council staff
The session is long, the minutes need to be exact, and the recording is the only full account of it.
What was decided, first
Approved items, deferred items and referrals to committee are summarised at the top, so the minutes have a skeleton before the detail goes in. The secretary still decides what goes into the minutes; the brief only shows where to look.
Numbers from the floor
Resolution and ordinance numbers, budget figures and the dates of public hearings are pulled into a list, each with the minute it was said. Figures heard in the hall should be matched against the written budget documents before the minutes are finalised.
Named where the minutes need it
Speakers are named in the summary, the key quotes and the chapters, which helps when the minutes must record who moved and who objected.
Recorded the long way
A sitting can run from morning into the afternoon; anything up to 10 hours goes up as a single file through the upload page. Phone videos, voice recorder files and camera footage all upload, as MP3, M4A, MP4 and other common formats.
Why minutes take days
A four-hour sitting can take longer to write up than it took to hold.
✗ Typing it up
The secretary replays a long recording with poor sound from the hall speakers and types what each member said, often in two languages, for the next session's approval. In a long sitting, members speak over each other, the hall speakers echo, and a phone placed on the table picks up the nearest voices best.
- Long replays over several evenings
- Who moved and who seconded, guessed
- Budget figures checked again and again
- Debate in Kapampangan, notes in English
- Files from phones and recorders mixed
- Minutes ready just before the next session
✓ Drafting from text
The session is already text with its decisions listed, and the work becomes checking and formatting. The draft can be ready the same afternoon, which leaves the secretary days, not hours, to check it before the next session.
- Decisions summarised at the top
- Figures and numbers with their minute
- Chapters that follow the agenda as debated
- Search for any member's remarks

FAQ
Kapampangan barangay sessions, answered.
How long does a 4-hour sitting take to process?
About 8 minutes. A 7-hour budget deliberation takes about 14, and it still goes up as one file. You can leave the page while it runs and come back to the result in your Library.
What does a year of sittings cost?
A 4-hour sitting uses 240 minutes. Twenty such sittings in a year come to 4,800 minutes and fit the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes; eight sittings, 1,920 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
Our camera file is several gigabytes. Will it upload?
Yes, up to 5 GB once a pack is on the account; before the first pack, the limit is 2 GB. If a recorder saved the audio separately, upload that instead, since audio is far smaller than video. A recorder saving MP3 at 64 kbps writes 8 KB a second, so 4 hours (14,400 seconds) is about 115 MB.
Do I need to split a 7-hour sitting?
No. A file can run up to 10 hours. Only a recording longer than that needs to go in as two files.
Can the transcript stand in for the approved minutes?
No. It is an AI transcript with timestamps to work from, not an official or certified record. Kapampangan, Tagalog and English are detected automatically, and a sitting that moves between them is handled.
What can the secretary download, and is the session kept private?
Files come out as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and a session can be deleted with its transcript whenever you choose.
