How it works

From your board meeting recording to finished minutes

Govably takes the link to wherever your board meeting is recorded: YouTube, Zoom, Vimeo, Swagit, TelVue or Cablecast. Or upload the file. Nothing changes in BoardDocs.

1

Paste the meeting link

Copy the link to your board meeting recording and paste it into Govably, or upload the file. Govably pulls the audio itself.

2

Every trustee named

Govably transcribes the meeting and names each speaker. Trustees it has heard before are recognized by VoicePrint.

3

Finished minutes

Minutes in your district's style, with every motion written out properly, and published to your public portal.

What you get

What Govably adds to your board meetings

VoicePrint remembers your trustees

Govably identifies every speaker and keeps a VoicePrint for each trustee. Confirm a trustee once; at the next meeting they are already named. No re-labeling speakers every month.

Motions written out properly

Who moved, who seconded, the motion language and the vote with each trustee's name: ayes, nays and abstentions, formatted the way minutes are supposed to read.

Finished minutes you edit in Govably

Govably writes the record in your district's style, and you make your changes in a full document editor right in Govably. Nothing to export to Word to finish.

Review only what needs you

Govably places each item of business on the meeting's timeline and flags only the ones it is unsure of. You check those and move on.

Catch up a backlog

Behind on minutes? Paste the link to each recorded meeting still waiting and work through the backlog in your house style.

A public portal people can click through

Residents open the meeting, search the transcript and click any line to jump to that moment in the recording.
