A year of meetings in one go

Paste a list of meeting links, such as the body’s YouTube videos, or drag in a folder of recordings. Everything is transcribed with the same settings, and links or files you have already added are flagged.

Members named in a few clicks

Voices are separated as Speaker 1, Speaker 2… Name them or pick a role (Chair, Councillor, Clerk, Public commenter): the names you gave in the archive’s other meetings are offered in the list, so the regulars take a click each. Nobody is recognised automatically.

Draft minutes with motions and votes

Attendance, agenda items in order, each motion with its mover and seconder when stated and the result exactly as announced, decisions, and the next meeting as said.

Public comment and follow-ups

Each member of the public who spoke and what they raised, in a neutral sentence or two, plus who agreed to do what. Ready for the clerk to edit.

Speaking time

Who spoke, how many times, for how long and from when to when, in every meeting.

Compilations across the year

Motions and votes, decisions, agenda items and speaking time for every meeting, in the order of the dates in the file names, with a CSV of speaking time.

How it works

  1. Create an archive for the body, then paste its meeting links or drop the recordings.
  2. When the transcripts are ready, name the speakers; names you gave before are offered in the list.
  3. Edit the draft minutes, check the points flagged to verify, and export to Word or PDF.

Questions

What can I add?

Video and audio files from your computer (MP4, M4A, MP3, WAV, MOV and other common formats) and links to meeting videos, such as YouTube. Add many at once. The app does not watch a channel for new meetings: you add each meeting yourself.

How long can a meeting be?

Long recordings are fine, including meetings of several hours. Each recording is transcribed as a whole.

How are members named?

Voices are separated as Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on. You name each speaker, or pick a role, in each meeting; the names you already gave in the archive’s other meetings are offered in the list, so you pick rather than type. The transcript, the speaker table and exports use the names at once, and draft minutes already made keep the labels they were made with until you make them again. The app does not recognise voices from one meeting to the next.

Are these the official minutes?

No. They are draft minutes generated from the recording for the clerk to edit, and they are not the official minutes until the body approves them. Motions and votes are written as announced, never inferred; check each one against the recording.

Where does a meeting’s date come from?

From the file name, or the video title for a link: bodies usually put the meeting date there. Outputs label it “date in the file name”; when there is none, the meeting has no date.

Who can see my recordings and transcripts?

They stay in your txscribe account and only you see them. txscribe does not use recordings or transcripts to train models, and you can delete any meeting or archive at any time.

What does it cost?

It uses your txscribe minutes and plan; there is nothing extra to buy. You start with free minutes.
