Transcribe parliamentary sittings in Singapore from the stream link.
A parliamentary sitting or committee session recorded in Singapore can be transcribed from its stream link at about 2 minutes per hour of audio, so an 8-hour sitting comes back in roughly 16 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and a sitting of up to 10 hours goes in as one file on the $6 pack of 500 minutes.
What a long sitting needs
Question time, three bills and an adjournment motion, all in one searchable text.
Start from the stream link
If the sitting was streamed on YouTube, paste the link and the audio is fetched for you, live replays included. A stream recording over 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account; shorter ones start right away with the free preview.
Chapters for every item
A sitting moves from questions to ministerial statements to bills. The transcript comes back with chapters at each change of business, so you jump to the second reading you care about instead of scrolling past four hours of questions.
Members named in the summary
Members and ministers are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, and the brief states what each debate was about. The figures, dates and names said on the floor are collected in one list for a briefing note.
What a sitting costs
An 8-hour sitting is 480 minutes, which the $6 pack of 500 covers. A sitting week of three 7-hour days is 1,260 minutes, which belongs on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. Prices are in US dollars.

FAQ
Parliamentary sittings, answered.
How long does an 8-hour sitting take to transcribe?
About 16 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 4-hour committee session takes around 8. For long files, our public proof shows 9.31 hours of audio done in 1,033 seconds.
What does a full sitting cost?
An 8-hour sitting uses 480 minutes, which fits on the $6 pack of 500. Your first sitting opens with 20 minutes free. A sitting week of three 7-hour days is 1,260 minutes, which belongs on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
Can I paste a YouTube link to the sitting?
Yes. YouTube links, live replays included, are fetched for you, with no upload from your computer. Stream recordings beyond 6 hours begin once the account holds a pack.
The sitting ran past 10 hours. What then?
One file holds up to 10 hours or 5 GB. A sitting longer than that goes in as two files, split at a natural break such as a suspension, and each comes back with its own timeline.
Which languages are spoken in the recording?
English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil are all among the 99 languages we detect, with no setting to choose. A sitting that switches language is detected on the main language of the recording.
Is this the official report, and what happens to the audio?
It is a working transcript for research and briefings, not the official report of proceedings. Exports come as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON, and the audio is transcribed on our own servers and never used for training.
