Use Case

Group Counseling Session Transcription

Turn group counseling and support sessions into organized transcripts with speaker labels, so facilitators can track each participant without recalling from memory.

Running a group counseling session in Lagos or Abuja means juggling five, six, sometimes ten voices in one room, plus the ones who speak Pidgin when they get emotional and switch back to English for structure. Taking notes while facilitating is nearly impossible, and relying on memory for case notes afterward is risky for continuity of care. Autrans records the session (or you upload a recorded one), separates who said what with speaker labels, and gives you a searchable transcript afterward. You get an AI summary of themes raised, key quotes worth revisiting, and action items for follow-up, without a recorder's audio ever being used to train AI. It's built for counselors, social workers, and support-group leads who need accurate documentation, not a court reporter's setup they can't afford.

Benefits

  • Speaker labels tell you who said what across a 6-10 person group without guesswork
  • AI summary surfaces recurring themes so you can plan the next session faster
  • Works with Nigerian English and Pidgin as participants naturally code-switch
  • Key quotes are pulled out automatically for case notes or supervision reviews
  • Exports to DOCX or PDF for records that need to sit in a client file
  • View-only sharing lets a co-facilitator review the session without editing rights

  1. 1Record the group session on your phone or upload an existing recording (in-person or via video call)
  2. 2Autrans transcribes the full session and separates speakers automatically
  3. 3Review the AI summary for themes, action items, and standout quotes
  4. 4Search the transcript by keyword to find a specific moment or disclosure
  5. 5Export to PDF or DOCX for case files, or share a view-only link with a colleague

Frequently asked questions

Can Autrans tell participants apart in a group counseling session?

Yes, speaker diarization labels each distinct voice as it changes during the session, so you can follow the conversation without relying on your memory of who was sitting where. It works best when people aren't talking over each other constantly.

Is the recording used to train AI models?

No. Audio you upload or record through Autrans is never used to train AI, which matters for confidential counseling content. This is a fixed policy, not a toggle you need to set.

Can I get a transcript in Pidgin and English mixed, the way people actually spoke?

Yes, Autrans supports Nigerian English and Nigerian Pidgin, so when participants code-switch mid-sentence, which happens often in emotional group settings, the transcript reflects that rather than forcing everything into one language.

How do I share a session transcript with a co-facilitator without risking edits?

Use Autrans's view-only sharing link. The co-facilitator can read the transcript and summary but can't alter the original record, which keeps your documentation trail intact.
