What you get

Everything after the gavel, handled

One platform from recording to published minutes, with unlimited users for your whole office, deputy clerks included.

Every commissioner recognized by VoicePrint, every meeting

VoicePrint technology learns each commissioner. Confirm a speaker once and they are named automatically at every meeting after. Each confirmation makes recognition more accurate, so you never re-label your commissioners again.

Proper motion formatting

Every motion written the way minutes should read: who moved, who seconded, the motion language, how each commissioner voted by name, and the result. Failed, tabled and withdrawn motions and abstentions are recorded too.

Minutes in your house style

Your headings, your motion language, your action lines. The minutes read like the ones you already file, finished in Govably's full document editor with no copying into Word.

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.

A Client Success Manager who has written minutes

Your Client Success Manager has local government experience and has written minutes. They set up your format for every court and board, and stay with you. We let actual intelligence check the artificial intelligence.

Public portal with searchable transcript

Publish the minutes, the recording and a searchable transcript to your public portal. Residents click any line and the video jumps to that moment.

How it works

How Govably works for a county board

Paste a link

From recording to transcript, nothing to download.

Paste a link from YouTube, Zoom, Vimeo, Granicus, Swagit, TelVue, Cablecast or CivicPlus, or upload the file. Govably transcribes the whole meeting with unlimited speakers: commissioners, staff, presenters and residents at the podium.

VoicePrint speaker recognition

Your commissioners are already named.

The first time, you confirm who is who. After that VoicePrint recognizes each commissioner at every meeting, and recognition gets sharper every time you confirm a speaker. Other tools make you re-label speakers every single meeting. Govably remembers them.

Finished minutes

Review the flagged spots, approve, publish.

Govably places each item of business on the meeting timeline, finds every motion, second and vote, and writes the official minutes in your house style. You review only the spots it flags and publish to your public portal.

“A two-hour board meeting used to mean about five hours of work for me. We had those minutes finished in twenty-five minutes, and that was the first set I ever built in the tool.”
Danielle Pilato, Administrative Assistant to the Board of Selectmen, Town of Pelham, NH

FAQ

Common questions from counties

Does Govably fit our state's open meetings law?
Yes. Govably writes minutes that carry what your state's open meetings law asks for: who attended, each motion, who made and seconded it, and how every member voted. We set up your minutes format around your state's rules and your county's own style during onboarding.
How does Govably know which commissioner is speaking?
Govably's VoicePrint technology identifies each speaker in the recording and remembers each commissioner. You confirm a speaker once, and at the next meeting they are already named. Every confirmation makes recognition more accurate.
Where do our recordings come from?
Paste a link from YouTube, Zoom, Vimeo, Granicus, Swagit, TelVue, Cablecast or CivicPlus, or upload an audio or video file. There is nothing to install and no change to how you record. If you use CivicPlus or Granicus, keep it: Govably works alongside it and takes the recording link directly.
How long does setup take?
Most counties are writing minutes in Govably within a week. Your Client Success Manager, who has written minutes, sets up your board members, your minutes style and your public portal with you, and stays with you after. There is no software to install and no IT ticket.
What does Govably cost?
You get clear pricing on your first demo. Every plan includes unlimited users.
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.
