Transcribe a Punjabi community meeting and keep a record nobody can dispute.
A 2.5-hour Punjabi community meeting recorded in the United States comes back as text in about 5 minutes, with Punjabi detected automatically and English from younger members handled in the same pass. The first 20 minutes are free, and twelve such meetings, 1,800 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes.
For the general secretary
Elections, budgets and tournament plans, argued in Punjabi for three hours. The transcript is the calm version.
Draft first, review once
Punjabi output is a fast first draft, so plan one review pass by a fluent committee member before the minutes are circulated. It still saves the evening that typing from the recording would take.
Figures on the record
Donation totals, hall costs, tournament dates and vote counts spoken aloud are listed with their timestamps, ready to settle a question at the next meeting.
Minutes in English, if needed
Start the English minutes from the Punjabi text and the brief; members abroad or second-generation members can follow the decisions.
Long video from the hall
A phone video of the whole meeting is welcome; files over 500 MB continue on the upload page.
Why disputes start
Three hours of debate and a two-page summary that half the room disagrees with.
✗ Minutes from memory
The secretary writes from notes, numbers are rounded, and the next meeting opens with an argument about the last one. Members who live in another state or abroad hear about decisions second hand, if at all.

Sample output
A general body meeting in Punjabi, with a question in English.
An invented excerpt for illustration, not drawn from any real association or its members. In English: respected members, the first item today is the election of the new committee; the nominations close next Sunday; the hall booking for the tournament has been confirmed; and a younger member asking in English whether voting will be online.

FAQ
Punjabi community meetings, answered.
How long does a 2.5-hour meeting take to transcribe?
About 5 minutes; a 3-hour general body meeting about 6, at roughly 2 minutes of processing per hour of audio.
Younger members speak English, elders speak Punjabi. Does that work?
Yes. The meeting is detected on its main language, Punjabi when elders lead the discussion, and the English parts are handled in the same pass. If a meeting is mostly English, it is detected as English instead.
What does a year of meetings cost?
A 2.5-hour meeting uses 150 minutes. Three meetings, 450 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500, and twelve monthly meetings, 1,800 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000. A first-time visitor gets the first 20 minutes free; credits never expire.
Can the transcript settle an election dispute?
It helps everyone see what was said, but it is an AI transcript to work from, not a certified record and not legal advice. Your association's approved minutes and bylaws decide.
Will the summary say which office-bearer presented the accounts?
Yes: the summary, the key quotes and the chapters identify each speaker by name, so the treasurer's report is attributed. The body of the transcript runs on without a name on each line, so introductions at the start of the meeting help.
Which downloads come with it, and who sees the meeting?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, so members' donations and disputes stay inside the association.
