Field notes
The described workflow starts with an agenda built from prior items, then produces a timestamped, fingerprinted posting record that can be printed. After upload, minutes drafts are organized around attendance and motions, with unclear passages left for clerk review; the page says corrections to names and board style stay within that board rather than training shared models. The free tier covers one board and two recording-based drafts, while captions are offered in WebVTT and SRT.
