What makes this audio hard

Why this audio is difficult

Public meetings mix prepared statements with unmoderated public comment, poor room microphones, and speakers who do not identify themselves before they begin.

How we handle it

Our approach

Public-sector transcripts are drafted, then human-reviewed for speaker identification, motion and vote capture, and completeness against the agenda. We transcribe what was said, including the parts nobody planned for.

Transcripts are produced to your published records format, with accessibility-compliant versions available for publication.

Yes. Send your published format and we will produce motions, seconds and roll-call votes to it.

How do you handle unidentified speakers during public comment?

We label them consistently and in sequence, and identify them by name wherever the audio or the agenda allows.
