Use Case

Transcribe Hackathon Pitch and Demo Presentations to Text

Convert hackathon pitch recordings into text with speaker labels and summaries. For Nigerian tech teams, judges and hackathon organizers.

Three-minute pitches, rapid-fire judge Q&A, a team narrating a live demo that half worked, hackathon presentations move fast, and by the fifth team of the day, judges and organizers struggle to remember which team said what. Autrans transcribes recorded pitch sessions into text, with speaker labels that separate presenter from judge, so you can review exactly what was pitched and what feedback was given, without relying on rushed notes taken during the event. Nigerian hackathon organizers producing summary reports afterward get a written record of every team's pitch to reference when writing up results or feedback for sponsors. Teams that recorded their own pitch rehearsal get a transcript to sharpen their delivery before the actual demo day.

Frequently asked questions

Can it separate what the presenter said from judge questions?

Yes, speaker labels (diarization) distinguish different voices in the recording, so you can clearly separate the pitch itself from the judges' questions and feedback.

Can organizers use this to write a post-hackathon report?

Yes, transcripts with AI summaries and exported PDF or DOCX files give organizers written material to reference when compiling results, feedback or sponsor updates after the event.

Is this useful for teams practicing before the actual demo?

Yes, teams can record a rehearsal pitch, transcribe it, and read back exactly what they said, which helps tighten timing and wording before presenting to real judges.

Does it work if a team pitches partly in Pidgin?

Yes, Autrans supports Nigerian English and Nigerian Pidgin, so pitches that mix formal English with more relaxed local speech are still transcribed accurately.
