Upload the meeting recording or paste the public YouTube link of the posted video. You get a transcript with speaker labels and word-level timestamps, plus SRT and VTT caption files. Files up to 10 hours or 5 GB; files over 500 MB continue on the upload page. Packs from $4, credits never expire.
How it works
Works in the browser. Nothing to install on the clerk's computer.
Export the audio or video from your meeting system, or copy the link of the meeting as posted on a public YouTube channel. A full session fits in one file of up to 10 hours or 5 GB.
Drop the file on this page (up to 500 MB here; larger files continue on the upload page) or paste the public YouTube link. A preview appears with no signup.
Find agenda items by keyword and jump to the timestamp. Export DOCX to draft from, SRT or VTT for the posted video, and TXT or MD for your website.
Who uses it
Public meetings run long. A transcript turns three hours of video into something people can actually read.
Work from a text record of what was said instead of scrubbing through video. The transcript is a starting draft; your minutes are still written and approved the way your body requires.
Search for a councillor's name or an agenda item, read the exchange in context, and check the exact wording against the audio at the timestamp before you quote it.
Read the part of the meeting about your street, your school or a zoning request without sitting through the whole session.
Export SRT or VTT caption files and attach them to the video you publish, after a quick review of names and local place names.
Better meeting transcripts
Most problems in meeting transcripts come from the recording, not the length.
A recording taken from the chamber's sound system is much clearer than a camera microphone at the back of the room, especially during public comment.
There is no need to split a four-hour meeting. One file keeps the timestamps aligned with the posted video.
Voices are labelled Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on. Note which label is the chair and the clerk near the start, then use those names when you edit the draft.
Street names, ordinance numbers, acronyms and surnames are the usual corrections. Search for each one before you post captions or quote.
