Transcribe provincial legislature committees the whole sitting, in English and French.
A provincial legislature committee sitting of 4 to 6 hours is transcribed in 8 to 12 minutes, with chapters for each presenter and the figures they gave. A first-time visitor has the first 20 minutes free, and a full 6-hour committee day uses 360 of the 500 minutes in the $6 pack.
What a committee sitting turns into
Hours of presentations and questions, readable the same afternoon.
Ahead of the published record
Legislatures publish their own record of committee proceedings, and that record is the one to cite. This is working text for the hours or days before it appears: a researcher, reporter or stakeholder can read what was said while it still matters.
Both official languages
A committee that moves between English and French is transcribed on the recording's main language, with the switches handled. Each language is among the 99 detected automatically, so nothing needs to be chosen first.
Stream archive or file
If the legislature posts the sitting on YouTube, paste the link and nothing is downloaded. If the archive lives on the legislature's own player and offers a download, save the video and send it through the upload page.
Find each presenter
Chapters mark where each delegation or witness begins, and members are named in the summary and chapters. Search for a bill number or an organisation and jump to the exchange. A clause-by-clause afternoon becomes a list of amendments you can scan in a minute.
Why a committee archive is slow going
The sitting is public and archived. Reading it is still a day's work.
✗ A six-hour archive video
The stream is there to watch, but finding one exchange means scrubbing a long afternoon.
- Hours of presentations to skim
- The official record still days away
- An archive player with no text search
- Switches between English and French in one sitting
- Tools that cap out at an hour
- Quotes copied by ear, with errors
✓ A sitting you can read
The archived video becomes text with chapters for each presenter and the numbers they cited.
- A long committee day in about 12 minutes
- MLAs and witnesses named in the summary
- Language changes mid-sitting handled
- Figures, dates and bill numbers listed
- A full sitting inside the $6 USD pack
- A DOCX for your briefing note

FAQ
Committee recordings, the common questions.
How long does a 6-hour committee sitting take?
Expect roughly 12 minutes, since each audio hour takes about 2. A public run on our proof page took 4.94 hours through in 372 seconds.
What do several sittings cost?
A single committee day of 6 hours draws 360 minutes from the $6 pack's 500. Four sittings of 6 hours, 1,440 minutes, fit on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, and a full round of hearings past that suits the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes. Committee researchers pay in US dollars, whatever the province.
What happens with English and French in one sitting?
The recording is detected on its main language and the switches into the other are handled. If interpretation was carried on a separate audio channel, upload the floor audio rather than the interpretation feed.
Can I cite this as the committee's record?
No. It is working text with timestamps, not a certified or official transcript, and the legislature's own published record remains the one to cite. Use the transcript to find the passage, then quote from the published version once it is out.
How large can the file be, and what if a sitting runs past 10 hours?
One file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, and up to 2 GB before the first pack. When a committee sits beyond 10 hours, cut the video at a recess and send the halves separately. An archived YouTube stream of a committee that ran over 6 hours begins once a pack is on the account.
Which download formats are offered, and what happens to the archive video?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
