Transcribe a union meeting recording motions and votes included.
To transcribe a union meeting recording, drop the file or paste a Drive link below. A three-hour membership meeting comes back in about 6 minutes, the first 20 minutes are free, and the chapters let you go straight to each motion, each vote and each question about the contract.
Why union meetings fit here
The motion, the debate and the count, on the record you keep.
Motions and votes by chapter
Chapters follow the order of business: reports, old business, new business, each motion and its vote. Members asking how a motion was worded can be pointed to its exact timestamp.
Contract terms as they were explained
At a ratification meeting, the bargaining committee walks through wages, steps, hours and benefits. The brief lists those percentages, amounts and effective dates as they were said, and the questions members asked about them.
Internal business stays internal
Membership meetings are not public, and the recording should not travel. It is transcribed on our own servers, never used to train a model, and deleted with its transcript whenever the local decides.
A convention on one pack
A 3-hour meeting is 180 minutes on the $6 pack of 500 minutes. A three-day convention of about seven hours a day is 1,260 minutes, which the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes covers; each day's file of video can go up through the upload page.
After the meeting
Arguing about what passed, or checking the transcript.
✗ A recording nobody replays
The secretary has notes, the meeting has a recording, and the members remember the vote three different ways.
- Motion wording reconstructed from memory
- Amendments to motions lost in the notes
- Contract numbers repeated wrongly at the worksite
- Members who missed the meeting left guessing
- Hours of audio and no index
- Disputes about what the chair ruled
✓ A record the local can search
The meeting comes back as timestamped text with each motion and vote in its own chapter.
- Each motion and vote in a chapter
- Amendment wording kept exactly as said
- Contract figures listed in the brief
- Members' questions gathered in one place
- A three-hour meeting ready in about 6 minutes
- DOCX for the minutes, TXT for the newsletter

FAQ
Union meeting recordings, answered.
How long does a 3-hour union meeting take to transcribe?
About 6 minutes. Processing takes roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio, so a long two-hour general meeting is ready in about four. The steward who has to report back to a worksite the next morning can read the motions over coffee instead of replaying the recording at night.
What does a 3-hour membership meeting cost?
It is 180 minutes, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers it, with the first 20 minutes free to a first-time visitor. A local recording every monthly meeting, plus a convention, will find the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes lasts most of a year. There is no subscription and credits never expire.
What file size can I upload?
Each file can be up to 5 GB and up to 10 hours. Before your first pack, the upload limit is 2 GB, and a bigger file starts once a pack is on the account. A share link from Google Drive needs no upload at all.
The convention was recorded in day-long blocks. Do I need to split them?
No, as long as each block is under 10 hours, which a convention day almost always is. Upload one file per day and each returns as its own transcript.
Will this hold up as the official record of a vote or a grievance?
It is an AI transcript with timestamps for the local to work from, not a certified transcript, not a substitute for a court reporter, and not legal advice. The approved minutes and the ballot count remain the official record.
What can we export, and who can see the recording?
Any of DOCX, TXT, SRT, VTT and JSON. Only the account that uploaded it can open the recording, and it is never shared with an outside AI service.
