Paste a link. Get finished minutes.

Govably works with the platform you already use: YouTube, Zoom, Vimeo, Granicus, Swagit, TelVue, Cablecast or CivicPlus, or a file you upload. Keep streaming the way you do. Govably names every board member by VoicePrint, formats every motion properly, and writes the official minutes in your house style.

Write your minutes in minutes, not hours.

How it works

From recording to finished minutes

Your streaming setup stays exactly as it is. Govably takes it from the recording to published minutes.

Step 1

Run your meeting

Stream and record on whatever you use. Nothing about your setup changes.

Step 2

Paste the link

Govably transcribes the meeting with unlimited speakers. Board members you have confirmed before are already named by VoicePrint.

Step 3

Review and publish

Govably writes the official minutes in your house style. Review the flagged spots and publish to your portal.

What you get

What Govably does with your recording

VoicePrint for your whole board

Govably keeps a VoicePrint for each board member across meetings. Confirm a speaker once, and at the next meeting they are already named. Every confirmation sharpens the VoicePrint, so you never re-label speakers meeting after meeting.

Motions written out properly

Who moved, who seconded, the motion language and the vote with each member's name: ayes, nays and abstentions. Full official minutes in your house style, edited in a full document editor right in Govably.

Review only what needs you

Govably places each item of business on the meeting timeline and flags only the spots it is unsure about. You check those, approve, 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.

Public portal with searchable transcript

Publish the minutes, the recording and a searchable transcript to your public portal. Residents click through the transcript to jump to that moment in the recording.

Long and multi-part meetings

Meeting split across two recordings? Add each part and Govably writes one set of minutes. Unlimited speakers, so every presenter and public commenter is captured.

FAQ

Using Govably with your video platform

Which video platforms does Govably work with?
Paste a link from YouTube, Zoom, Vimeo, Granicus, Swagit, TelVue, Cablecast or CivicPlus, or upload an audio or video file. If you have a transcript from Microsoft Teams or Webex, you can paste that in instead.
Do I need to change how we stream or record?
No. Govably works with your platform as it is. Keep recording the way you do, and after the meeting, paste the link into Govably. There is nothing to install, no API to configure and no IT involvement.
How does Govably know who is speaking?
Govably identifies each speaker in the recording and keeps a VoicePrint for each board member, from meeting to meeting. You confirm a speaker once; after that they are named automatically, and the VoicePrint gets more accurate every time you confirm.
How does a recording become official minutes?
Govably transcribes the meeting with unlimited speakers, names your board members by VoicePrint, writes out each motion with its mover, seconder and vote, and writes the official minutes in your house style. You review the spots it flags, then publish to your public portal.
Will the minutes match our format?
Yes. Govably writes in your house style: your headings, your motion language, your action lines. The minutes read like the ones your board already approves, and your Client Success Manager, who has written minutes, sets up your format with you.
Can you show us Govably on one of our own meetings?
Yes. After a quick demo, if you feel like it's a fit, we write minutes from one of your own meetings and go through them with you.
