Turn Town Hall & Community Meeting Recordings into Minutes

Transcribe town hall and community meetings into clear minutes with speaker labels, summaries, and action items back the same day.

Estate residents' meetings, LGA town halls, church council sessions, cooperative society AGMs, these gatherings run long, multiple people speak up from the floor, and someone always gets stuck typing minutes from a recording afterward, half-guessing who said what. Autrans transcribes the full meeting, labels each speaker so contributions from the floor stay attributed correctly, and generates an AI summary plus action items so the secretary isn't starting the minutes from a blank page. Nigerian town halls rarely happen entirely in English, Autrans handles Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo contributions too, so you're not losing what the elder at the back said in Igbo because the recording only got transcribed in English. Get from a two-hour recording to shareable minutes the same day.

Frequently asked questions

Can Autrans tell different speakers apart in a large town hall recording?

Yes, speaker labels (diarization) separate different voices in the recording, which helps a lot when multiple residents or members speak from the floor. It works best when the recording captures each speaker reasonably clearly, which is typical for meetings with a working microphone or a decent phone placed centrally.

Does Autrans write the official minutes for us automatically?

Not exactly, Autrans gives you a full transcript, an AI summary, and action items, which cover most of the heavy lifting. Your secretary still finalizes the format and wording to match your organization's official minutes template.

Can it handle a meeting where people speak Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, or Pidgin as well as English?

Yes, Autrans supports Nigerian English, Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo, which covers most community and town hall meetings in Nigeria. This matters a lot for minutes, since important contributions often come in a mix of languages, not just English.

Can we share the meeting transcript with residents without letting them edit it?

Yes, sharing is view-only, so you can circulate the transcript or minutes to residents or members without anyone being able to alter the record. If you need an official document, export it to PDF or DOCX instead.
