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. Turnaround is quoted in Eastern and Pacific time. Files accepted early in the Canadian business day can often be returned the same evening or next morning.
Transcripts are produced to your published records format, with accessibility-compliant versions available for publication. We handle confidential work under non-disclosure agreement and can align retention and deletion practices with PIPEDA and provincial privacy requirements.
