A working transcript the same day
Waiting days for a typed transcript slows down everything that follows a hearing: the update for the client, the article, the next filing. MinutesMaster turns the recording into a speaker-labelled transcript with timestamps within minutes, so you can quote, search and check what was actually said straight away.
It is a working transcript made by speech recognition: good for preparation, notes and research, but not a certified or court-reporter transcript. Where an official record is required, rely on the court’s or tribunal’s own record and keep MinutesMaster for your working copy.
Set up your own template — parties, key statements, documents mentioned, open points — or use the General meeting format, and ask questions such as “where did the witness mention the contract date?” to get the answer with the exact moment. A 3-hour hearing uses 6 credits; the 5 free credits cover 2.5 hours.
Counsel for the claimant (1:47:22) — Can you confirm that the delivery schedule was changed in the email of 4 March?
Witness — project manager (1:47:40) — Yes. We moved the second delivery to April because the parts were not certified yet.
The witness confirmed the delivery schedule changed on 4 March (1:47:40).

Frequently asked questions
- Is this a certified transcript?
- No. MinutesMaster produces a working transcript by speech recognition. It is accurate enough for preparation, notes and research, but it is not certified and doesn’t replace an official court or tribunal record.
- How long can a hearing recording be?
- Up to 8 hours and 2 GB per file; a longer hearing day can be uploaded as two files. Every 30 minutes uses 1 credit.
- Can it tell the judge, counsel and witnesses apart?
- Speakers are separated by voice. Name each one once — for example “Counsel for the respondent” — and the name is used throughout the transcript and exports. Crosstalk and very quiet voices are where mistakes are most likely, so check those passages against the recording.
- Am I allowed to record a hearing?
- That depends on the court, the tribunal and the law where you are; many courts don’t allow private recordings. Use MinutesMaster only for recordings you may make or have received lawfully.
- How quickly is the transcript ready?
- Usually within 15 minutes for a 3–5-hour recording, and a minute or two for a short one.
- Can I search the transcript or ask questions?
- Yes. Search by words, or ask MinutesMaster a question; the answer cites the moments it used, with links to play them.
- Who can see the recording?
- Only you, unless you share the meeting with your team workspace. Recordings are never used to train AI models, and you can delete a meeting or your account at any time.
- Which languages are supported?
- 38, including Czech, Slovak, German, Polish, Spanish, French, Italian and Romanian, and the transcript can be translated into any of them.
