Use Case

Transcribe Government MDA Public Consultations and Stakeholder Meetings

Convert ministry, department, and agency consultations and stakeholder meetings into clear transcripts and summaries with Autrans.

An MDA running a public consultation on a new policy or regulation gathers input from dozens of stakeholders in one room, or across a series of town halls in different states, and someone has to turn all of that into a report the ministry can act on. A stakeholder engagement session in Kano might run in Hausa and English together, with community representatives, agency officials, and civil society all contributing. Autrans transcribes these sessions, labels each speaker so contributions are attributed correctly, and gives you a summary and key topics so the policy team isn't reading two hours of raw audio to write a three-page consultation report. It handles the language mix Nigerian public consultations actually involve, not just English.

Frequently asked questions

Can it handle a session where officials and community members switch languages mid-conversation?

Yes, Autrans covers Nigerian English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo, so consultations that shift between these during the discussion are transcribed.

How does this help with writing the final consultation report?

The AI summary, topics, and key quotes give the policy team a condensed, organized starting point, so writing the report from a two-hour session takes far less time than transcribing and reading it manually first.

Can multiple stakeholders be distinguished in one recording?

Yes, speaker labels separate different voices in the same recording, though very large group discussions with many overlapping speakers are harder to label individually than a structured back-and-forth.

Can we share the transcript with colleagues for review?

Yes, you can generate a view-only share link so colleagues can read the transcript, though it isn't an editable shared document.
