New use

Taking minutes of meetings

Record the meeting on a phone or laptop placed in the middle of the table, or upload the recording afterwards. Naija Transcribe writes down what was said, with times, so the secretary can turn it into minutes instead of writing everything by hand.

  • Works for board meetings, AGMs, town halls, cooperative and association meetings, and committee meetings held in any of the four languages.
  • Tap any time to replay that moment and check who said what before you write it into the minutes.
  • Translate the text into English (or another language) for members who don't speak the language of the meeting, then save it as PDF or text.
  • The audio stays on your device. For a private meeting, nothing is uploaded unless you choose to translate.
Example: cooperative meeting48:12 · Yorùbá
Ẹ káàárọ̀ gbogbo yín, ẹ jẹ́ ká bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìpàdé òní.
