Transcribe a Portuguese community meeting recorded in Japan and give everyone the same record of what was decided.
A Portuguese-language community meeting recorded in Japan, often two to three hours, is transcribed at about 2 minutes per hour of audio, so a 2.5-hour meeting is text in roughly 5 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and twelve monthly meetings of 2.5 hours, 1,800 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
For the secretary of the association
A community meeting runs long, half the members arrive late from work, and everyone remembers a different decision.
The ata drafted for you
The brief states the purpose of the meeting and what was decided. Votes, amounts, deadlines and names said aloud are listed, so writing the minutes starts from a draft.
Each pauta item a chapter
The agenda becomes chapters with timestamps: the treasurer's report, the festa planning, the school questions. Members read the item that concerns them.
Answers for those who missed it
A chat over the transcript tells a member what was agreed about the festival date or the rent, pointing to the minute it was discussed.
Phone recordings are fine
A phone in the middle of the table is enough. Files up to 500 MB go in the box here; larger video from the hall continues on the upload page.
Why decisions get disputed
Without a written record, the next meeting starts by arguing about the last one.
✗ How it usually goes
A volunteer secretary takes notes by hand while also taking part. The audio sits on a phone, and members who could not leave the factory early ask in the group chat what happened.
- Handwritten notes that miss the amounts
- Votes remembered differently
- Families on shifts left out
- Two hours of audio nobody replays
- A minute book months behind
- Questions repeated in the group chat all week
✓ With a transcript
The meeting comes back as Portuguese text with chapters about five minutes after upload, ready for the ata and the group message.
- Complete text of the discussion
- Chapters for every item of the pauta
- Amounts, dates and decisions listed
- Participants named in the summary and key quotes
- DOCX for the minute book
- A chat that answers what was agreed

FAQ
Portuguese community meetings in Japan, answered.
How fast is a 2.5-hour meeting transcribed?
About 5 minutes. A 90-minute meeting takes around 3 and a three-hour assembly about 6, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio.
What does a year of meetings cost?
Twelve monthly meetings of 2.5 hours are 1,800 minutes on the $12 pack of 2,000. Three meetings, 450 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500, and a busy year with more than 2,000 minutes fits the $24 pack of 5,000. Prices are in US dollars; packs are one-time and the credits never expire.
Members speak Portuguese, some Japanese, a little English. Is that handled?
Portuguese is detected automatically as the main language, from 99 languages, and English mixed into the speech is handled. A Japanese place name or a quote from a city letter stays in the same transcript; the recording is detected on its main language.
Can the transcript replace our official ata?
It is an AI transcript to work from, not a certified or official record. Use it to write the minutes quickly and check them, then approve the ata the way your association always does.
Our meeting ran past four hours. Is that too long?
No. One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Before a first pack, uploads go up to 2 GB, far more than a phone recording of a long meeting needs.
Is a members' meeting kept private?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. You download the transcript as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON, and it stays with the association.
