A town hall is mostly questions, and the questions are the part that gets lost. Upload the recording, or paste the public YouTube link if the meeting has been posted, and get the whole session as text with word-level timestamps. Caption files in SRT and VTT come out of the same transcript.
How it works
Open meetings run long and wander. Text is how anyone finds the part they came for.
Take the feed from the room's sound system if there is one, so questions through the roving microphone record as clearly as the answers.
Drop the recording into the box here, or paste the public YouTube link if the session was streamed and posted. A preview appears without signing up.
Export MD or TXT for a written record, SRT or VTT to caption the posted video, and search the text for the question you were asked about afterwards.
What it is for
The value of a town hall is in the exchange, and an exchange only travels if it is written down.
Shift workers, carers, anyone without ninety spare minutes: they read what was asked and answered rather than taking someone's word for it.
The questions asked from the floor are the ones arriving by email all week; in text, the answer can be sent rather than written again.
Attach the SRT or VTT file to the recording you publish so the session is usable with the sound off and by anyone who relies on captions.
When somebody on the platform names a date for a decision, that sentence sits in the transcript with a timestamp beside it.
The Q and A is the hard part
The platform is usually well recorded. The floor usually is not.
A question asked before the microphone arrives comes out faint or partial. Waiting the extra few seconds is the single biggest improvement available.
Whoever answers repeating the question first makes the record complete on its own, and it helps the room as much as it helps the transcript.
When several people speak at once, the overlapping words are most likely to be dropped or given to the wrong voice.
Voices are separated in the transcript view on the page. The TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT you download contain the words only; JSON is the export that carries speaker information.
