Better for Your Community, Too

Indexing and Timestamping to Agendas

Recordings that are indexed and time-stamped to the agenda simplify the public’s access to meeting sections of interest. Cross-linking to supporting documents or historical records provide context for topics and decisions.

Accurate Transcriptions and Spoken Word Search

Highly accurate transcripts provide a lasting historical record of decision making without the heavy lift of creating verbatim minutes manually. A sensitive and precise search engine allows constituents to find the exact place in a recording where a particular word or phrase was spoken. No more fast-forwarding through meeting recording or trying to keep track of official topic names.
