Transcribe shareholder meeting recordings with each question and answer on the clock.
A recorded shareholder meeting (株主総会) of 2 to 3 hours is transcribed into Japanese text in 4 to 6 minutes, with each shareholder question and the answer to it found by timestamp. The first 20 minutes are free, and a 3-hour meeting, 180 minutes, fits on the $6 pack of 500 minutes.
What the meeting turns into
The question period, laid out so you can check exactly what was asked and answered.
Questions in order
Chapters follow the meeting: the business report, the explanation of each proposal, the question period and the votes. Within the question period, every question has a timestamp, and the answer follows directly below it. A shareholder who asked about governance and one who asked about the dividend are easy to tell apart.
A draft, not the minutes
The company's minutes (議事録) remain the record. The transcript is a working draft for investor relations, the legal team or a shareholder who wants to check a reply word for word. It helps when preparing next year's expected questions, too, since the same topics tend to return.
Recorded or streamed
A company that streamed the meeting on YouTube can paste the link. A recording saved from another platform, usually an MP4, goes in through the upload page, up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
Figures pulled out
The brief lists the numbers, dates and names said aloud, such as a dividend amount or a target year. The chat over the transcript finds the answer about a subsidiary that came near the end.
Why AGM recordings are hard to check
Three hours of formal answers, and someone needs one sentence from the middle.
✗ A long meeting video
The recording is kept, but checking a single reply means scrubbing through the whole question period.
- Questions summarised from memory
- Replies paraphrased in a briefing note
- No search across past years' meetings
- Short-file apps that stop before the votes

FAQ
Shareholder meeting recordings, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour shareholder meeting take?
About 6 minutes, and a 2-hour meeting about 4. When it is done, the text sits in your Library ready to open.
What do several years of meetings cost?
Five past meetings of 2.5 hours make 750 minutes, which fits on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. A lone 3-hour 総会 takes 180 minutes, leaving 320 on the $6 pack. Packs are charged in US dollars and their minutes do not lapse.
Can this replace the company's 議事録?
No. It is a working text with timestamps, useful for checking wording and finding a reply, and it carries no legal standing of its own. The minutes the company prepares remain the record of the meeting.
What is the file limit for a meeting video?
One file can hold 10 hours or 5 GB, with a 2 GB ceiling until a pack is bought. A video file over 2 GB starts once a pack is on the account. A 3-hour meeting streamed in high definition can pass 2 GB, while its audio alone is a small fraction of that; if the upload refuses the file, convert it to MP3 first.
What about English answers or an English simultaneous feed?
The meeting is transcribed on its main language, so a Japanese meeting comes back in Japanese. If an English interpretation was recorded on a separate track, upload the one you want as its own file. A meeting held in Japanese with a few English questions stays in Japanese, and the English passages are worth a quick read.
Which file types download, and is the AGM video kept private?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
