Transcribe a Tagalog community meeting Taglish and all, ready for the minutes.
A 3-hour Tagalog community meeting recorded in the United States is transcribed in about 6 minutes, with Tagalog detected automatically and the English that Filipino speakers mix in kept in the same text. Four quarterly general assemblies of 3 hours are 720 minutes, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, and the first 20 minutes are free.
For the samahan's volunteer secretary
The president's report was in Tagalog, the treasurer's in English, and the open forum in both at once.
Minutes from a real draft
Chapters follow the order of business: call to order, president's report, treasurer's report, committee updates, open forum. The brief lists what was approved, so the minutes begin from text.
Motions and amounts listed
Fundraising totals, event dates, venue deposits and the count on each motion that was read out are pulled into one list with timestamps.
Check a detail by asking
Ask the chat who seconded the motion on the fiesta budget, and it answers from the transcript with the minute. Officers and members who spoke are identified and named in the summary and key quotes, not on each line.
Facebook Live or the hall camera
A meeting streamed to Facebook can be downloaded and uploaded as a file. The box here takes up to 500 MB; a longer video continues on the upload page.
Why the minutes take a month
A volunteer secretary, a phone recording, and a three-hour meeting that switches language every minute.
✗ Minutes the old way
Notes on a pad during the meeting, the phone recording replayed on weekends, and approval pushed back because the draft is not ready.
- Replaying hours to find one motion
- Tools that cannot follow Taglish
- Members who missed it asking what happened
- Treasurer's figures copied by hand
- Livestream video too big to share
- Disputes over what the body approved
✓ Minutes from the Taglish text
Upload after the meeting and the text, chapters and figures are back before the potluck is cleaned up.
- Full text in Tagalog and English
- Order of business as chapters
- Officers named in the summary

- A year of assemblies on the $12 pack
Sample output
A general assembly, at the treasurer's report and a motion.
These lines were written for this page as an illustration and come from no real association. Gloss: "Let's proceed to the treasurer's report"; "The fundraising for the scholarship went well, we're above our target"; "Is there a second to the motion?"; "Those in favor, raise your hand"; "The next meeting is the first Sunday of next month."

FAQ
Tagalog community meetings, answered.
How long does a 3-hour assembly take to transcribe?
About 6 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 90-minute officers' meeting takes about 3.
How many minutes does a year of meetings use, and at what price?
Three 90-minute officers' meetings, 270 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes. Four 3-hour general assemblies, 720 minutes, need the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, which also leaves room for the monthly officers' meetings. Minutes never expire and there is no subscription.
The meeting is half English. Does that work?
Yes. The recording is detected on its main language and the English inside it is handled in the same pass, so Taglish comes through as Taglish. If a meeting is mostly in Ilocano, Cebuano or another regional language, treat the output as a fast first draft and plan one review pass.
Can I test it before the board approves anything?
Yes. The first 20 minutes cost nothing for a first-time visitor, and a pack from $6 carries a longer meeting on from where its preview stopped.
Is the transcript the official record?
No. It is an AI transcript to work from; the minutes approved by the body remain the record. Many secretaries use it to check the motions and figures before the draft goes out.
What exports do we get, and is the recording private?
Downloads are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. The association's recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, so members' personal matters raised in open forum stay with the association.
