Use Case

AA & NA Meeting Transcription

Transcribe recovery meeting shares for sponsors and group records with speaker labels, without ever using the audio to train AI.

Recovery work runs on memory and honesty, and both get harder to hold onto when a meeting has real weight to it. Sponsors who record shares (with consent) to revisit later, or secretaries keeping a record for a home group, need something more reliable than trying to remember what someone said forty minutes into a meeting. Autrans turns a recorded AA or NA meeting into a transcript with each speaker separated, so you can go back to exactly what was shared without scrubbing through audio. Because this is sensitive material, audio is never used to train AI, full stop. Whether the meeting was in English or slipped into Pidgin during the rawer parts, the transcript captures it, and a view-only share lets you pass a share along to a sponsor without handing over an editable copy.

Benefits

  • Speaker labels separate each share so a long meeting isn't one wall of text
  • Audio is never used to train AI, which matters for anonymity and trust
  • Nigerian Pidgin and English are both supported as speakers naturally switch
  • AI summary helps a secretary write meeting minutes without replaying the whole recording
  • Search the transcript for a specific share instead of scrubbing through audio
  • View-only sharing lets you pass a share to a sponsor without an editable file

Frequently asked questions

Is it appropriate to record an AA or NA meeting?

Only with the informed consent of everyone present, and many groups have their own rules against it entirely to protect anonymity. Autrans is a tool for meetings where recording has been agreed to, such as sponsor-sponsee sessions or home groups that keep records with permission.

Will my meeting audio ever be used to train AI?

No, never. This is a fixed policy at Autrans, not something you have to opt out of, and it applies to every recording regardless of content.

Can the transcript separate multiple people sharing in one meeting?

Yes, speaker labels identify each distinct voice as the floor changes hands, so a transcript of several people sharing reads as separate, attributed sections rather than one continuous block.

Does Autrans handle Nigerian Pidgin if someone shares in it?

Yes, Nigerian Pidgin is one of the eight languages Autrans supports, alongside Nigerian English, so shares that move between the two are transcribed as spoken.
