Transcribe a Vietnamese community meeting and keep a record both generations can read.
A 2-hour Vietnamese community meeting recorded in the United States is transcribed in about 4 minutes, with Vietnamese detected automatically and the English that younger members use handled in the same transcript. Twelve monthly meetings of 2 hours are 1,440 minutes, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, after the first 20 minutes free.
For the board secretary
The elders speak Vietnamese, the youth committee answers in English, and the minutes have to hold both.
Biên bản from a draft
The brief lists what was decided and what is still open, and the chapters follow the agenda: welcome, finance, the Tết festival, youth programmes, member questions. The DOCX is ready to edit.
Dates and dollars on one list
Festival dates, donation totals, venue costs and the results of votes read aloud are collected with timestamps, so the treasurer and the secretary work from the same figures.
Answers without replaying
Ask the chat when the board agreed to hold the cultural night, and it answers from the transcript with the exact minute it came up.
Long videos, short wait
The upload box here accepts files up to 500 MB; a longer hall video continues on the upload page. A meeting already on YouTube or Google Drive can be pasted as a link.
Why the record goes missing
A two-hour meeting in two languages, and nobody with time to write it up.
✗ Relying on memory
A few notes in a notebook, the recording on someone's phone, and a month later nobody agrees on what the board approved.
- Handwritten notes with gaps
- A recording no one replays
- Tools that garble Vietnamese tones
- Younger members' English left out
- Figures remembered differently
- No record for members who stayed home
✓ Relying on the transcript
The recording goes up the same evening and the Vietnamese text, chapters and figures come back in minutes.
- Full Vietnamese text with English kept
- Agenda items as chapters
- Board officers named in the summary
- Vote results, dates and dollar amounts listed
- Minutes drafted from the DOCX
- Twelve monthly meetings fit the $12 pack
Sample output
A community association meeting, planning the spring festival.
Written for this page as an illustration; no real association or person. Gloss: "Let's begin with the treasurer's report"; "This year's Tết festival raised more than last year"; "The youth committee proposes a volunteer day at the senior center"; "Does anyone have a question?"; "Next meeting is the third Sunday of the month."

FAQ
Vietnamese community meetings, answered.
How long does a 2-hour meeting take?
About 4 minutes. A 3-hour annual meeting with elections takes about 6, since the pace is about 2 minutes per hour of audio.
What does a year of monthly meetings cost?
Each 2-hour meeting uses 120 minutes. Four of them, 480 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes, and twelve monthly meetings, 1,440 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes with room left for committee meetings. Packs are one-time and the minutes never expire.
Members mix English into their Vietnamese. Will that confuse it?
No. The recording is detected on its main language, and English words or sentences inside it are handled in the same pass. Nobody has to choose a language, and a youth report given entirely in English sits in the same transcript as the elders' remarks in Vietnamese.
Can we try it first?
Yes: the first 20 minutes are free to a first-time visitor. A longer meeting is previewed, and a pack from $6 transcribes the rest from where the preview ended.
Is the transcript our official minutes?
It is an AI transcript to work from, not an official record; the minutes the board approves remain the record. It helps the secretary check motions and figures before writing them up.
What files do we get, and is it private?
Exports come as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Meeting recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, so personal and family matters raised at the meeting stay inside the association.
