Transcribe a Vietnamese community meeting from the recording to the minutes.
A 2-hour Vietnamese community meeting recorded in Australia is transcribed in about 4 minutes, with Vietnamese detected automatically and English words such as council, grant or venue names handled in the same pass. The first 20 minutes are free, and twelve monthly 2-hour meetings, 1,440 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000.
For the association secretary
The Tết festival committee met for three hours. The plan is somewhere in that recording.
Plans and decisions in one place
The brief records the meeting's purpose and outcomes; dates, budgets, stall numbers and volunteer names said aloud are listed underneath.
Every agenda item a chapter
Chapters follow the meeting from the opening to general business, so the president can find the discussion of the sponsorship in a moment. Apologies, the treasurer's report and correspondence each get their own heading.
Minutes in Vietnamese or English
The transcript is in Vietnamese, as spoken. The secretary writes the minutes from it in whichever language the association keeps them.
Big festival planning day
A 6-hour planning day is 360 minutes on the $6 pack of 500, uploaded as one file and returned in about 12 minutes. Long sessions with a lunch break in the middle stay as one file.
Why minutes fall behind
Volunteers run the association, and writing up a three-hour meeting is nobody's favourite job.
✗ Writing up by ear
The recording is on someone's phone, and the minutes appear a month later, shorter than the meeting deserved. Elders who prefer Vietnamese and younger members who read English both end up waiting for a record that never quite arrives.
- Replaying hours of discussion
- Tools that cannot handle Vietnamese
- Budget figures noted wrongly
- Volunteers forgotten in the write-up
- Decisions argued over later
- Minutes ready too late to act on
✓ Writing up from text
Upload the recording after the meeting and draft the minutes from Vietnamese text. The festival coordinator works from the list of dates and tasks, and members who were away read the brief before the next meeting.
- Vietnamese text with tone marks
- Chapters for each agenda item
- Budgets, dates and names listed
- Office bearers named in the summary
- Chat to find one discussion fast
- DOCX to edit and circulate
Sample output
A Vietnamese festival committee, at the budget item.
Illustrative lines written for this page; no real association or person. In English: now let's move to the Tết festival budget; this year we need more volunteers for the food stalls; council has approved the use of the park; the youth group will take care of the lion dance.

FAQ
Vietnamese community meetings, answered.
Does it handle Vietnamese with English mixed in?
Yes. The meeting is detected on its main language, Vietnamese, and English words, council names, grant programs, addresses, are handled in the same transcript.
What will a year of meetings cost?
Twelve monthly 2-hour meetings use 1,440 minutes on the $12 pack of 2,000. Four meetings, 480 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500. A year with weekly festival planning sessions on top, up to 5,000 minutes, fits the $24 pack. There is no subscription to cancel when the association goes quiet over summer, and credits never expire.
Can the transcript stand as the minutes?
It is an AI transcript to work from, not official minutes. The secretary drafts the minutes from it, and the committee approves them as usual.
How long does it take?
About 2 minutes per hour of audio: roughly 4 minutes for a 2-hour meeting and 12 for a 6-hour planning day. The text is often ready before the hall is locked up.
What size of file can I send?
One file may be up to 10 hours or 5 GB. A phone recording of a 3-hour meeting is usually well under 200 MB, comfortably inside the 500 MB the box on this page takes. A video of a meeting held on Zoom uploads the same way, or as an M4A audio file that is much smaller.
Who can see the recording?
Each recording is transcribed on our own servers and is never used for training. Files come back as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON.
