Built for Public meetings

Four things that matter for the public record.

01

Chair, members & public comment

Diarization splits the meeting into speaker turns. Rename to Chair, Member, Clerk, or Public Comment; then attribute motions, votes, and comments correctly when you draft the minutes.

02

Draft minutes far faster

Start from a full, timestamped transcript instead of a blank page and the recording. Summarize decisions, lift exact wording of a motion, and cut the hours a clerk spends scrubbing audio.

03

Accessible to the whole public

SRT/VTT captions plus a posted transcript help meet ADA and Section 508 goals for public meetings, so residents who are deaf, hard of hearing, or watching later can follow along.

04

A searchable civic archive

Every meeting becomes searchable text. Residents and staff can find when a project, a budget line, or a street name was discussed and jump to the exact moment — transparency without scrubbing hours of video.

Questions

Public-meeting transcription FAQs.

Can it tell speakers apart?

Yes. Diarization labels each turn; rename to Chair, Member, Clerk, or Public Comment to attribute motions, votes, and comments.

Does it replace official minutes?

No. It's a working transcript that speeds the clerk's draft. Your body still adopts the official minutes through its normal process.

Does it help accessibility?

SRT/VTT captions plus a posted transcript support ADA and Section 508 goals for public meetings. Your accessibility officer confirms policy fit.

Draft the minutes from text, not audio.

Your first transcript is free at any length; leave an email to open it. Packs from $8 for 1,000 minutes after that; credits never expire.
