Use Case

Transcribe Tribunal Proceedings and Panel Hearings

Convert tribunal hearings, panel sessions, and administrative proceedings into structured transcripts with Autrans.

Election petition tribunals, professional disciplinary panels, and administrative hearings generate hours of recorded proceedings, with counsel, witnesses, and panel members all speaking in turn and the record mattering enormously if a decision is appealed. A registrar or paralegal assigned to prepare hearing notes for a tribunal sitting in Enugu or Kano needs an accurate account of who said what, not a vague summary. Autrans transcribes the full proceeding, labels each speaker so submissions are attributed to the right counsel or witness, and gives you word-level timestamps so you can locate a specific exchange when preparing for the next sitting or an appeal. It's built for the reality of Nigerian hearings, where proceedings can shift between English and a local language mid-session.

Frequently asked questions

Can Autrans distinguish between counsel, witnesses, and panel members?

Yes, speaker labels (diarization) separate different voices in the recording, so submissions and testimony are attributed to the right speaker in the transcript.

Is this an official court-certified transcript?

No, Autrans produces an accurate working transcript from the audio you provide, not a certified verbatim court record. Treat it as a working document for review and preparation, not a substitute for an official transcript where one is legally required.

Can it handle proceedings that switch between English and a local language?

Yes, Autrans covers Nigerian English alongside Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo, so sittings that move between languages are transcribed.

How do I find a specific statement from hours of hearing audio?

Word-level timestamps and chat-with-transcript both let you locate specific statements quickly instead of replaying the full recording.
