Transcribe Spanish union meetings motions, votes and all.
A 2.5-hour union membership meeting held in Spanish and English is transcribed in about 5 minutes, with the motions, vote counts and dates said gathered into one list. Twelve monthly meetings of that length total 1,800 minutes, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000.
From the union hall to the minutes
Every motion, every count, written down so the minutes can be drafted the next morning.
Two languages at the mic
Membership meetings in many locals run in Spanish with English reports, or the reverse, with someone interpreting from the side. The recording is detected on its main language and the switches are handled, so both the report and its interpretation are on the page.
Motions you can find
Chapters mark each agenda item, and the chat answers questions such as who seconded the motion on the contract committee or what the final count was. Each answer points to a time in the recording.
A draft, not the record
The transcript is a working draft for the recording secretary, who checks it against what the chair declared and writes the official minutes. Long video recordings from the hall go in through upload page.
A year of meetings, costed
Twelve monthly meetings of 2.5 hours are 1,800 minutes on the $12 pack of 2,000. A local that records every week, steward trainings included, can look at the $19/month Workspace instead.
Why minutes fall behind
The secretary takes notes in one language while the floor debates in two.

FAQ
Union meeting recordings, answered.
How long does a membership meeting take to transcribe?
About 5 minutes for 2.5 hours of audio, and about 6 for a 3-hour meeting that runs late, at roughly 2 minutes per audio hour.
What do twelve monthly membership meetings cost?
Twelve meetings of 2.5 hours, 1,800 minutes, go on the $12 pack of 2,000. A single 3-hour meeting is 180 minutes and fits the $6 pack. Adding weekly steward meetings pushes the total past 2,000, which is where the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes fits.
Will a long video of the meeting upload?
Before the first pack, uploads up to 2 GB go in; with a pack on the account, a file can be up to 5 GB or 10 hours. A phone audio recording of a meeting is far smaller than either.
Should the meeting be split at the break?
Only if you want two documents. One file keeps one timeline, which makes it easier to cite the time a vote was declared. When a member later questions how a vote went, the secretary can go straight to that minute of the recording instead of replaying the evening.
Can it be used as the official minutes?
No. It is a draft to work from; the recording secretary checks it and the membership approves the minutes as usual. Speech in Spanish and English is detected automatically among 99 languages.
What formats come out, and is the meeting kept private?
DOCX and TXT for the minutes draft, JSON for an archive, SRT and VTT to caption a posted video. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and internal debates stay inside the local.
