Paste the link to your board meeting. Govably names every trustee by VoicePrint, formats every motion properly, and hands you the official board minutes in your district's style, ready for approval at the next meeting.
Write your minutes in minutes, not hours.
One platform from recording to published minutes, with unlimited users for trustees, administrators and staff.
Govably keeps a VoicePrint for each trustee. Confirm a speaker once and they are named automatically at every meeting after. Each confirmation makes the VoicePrint more accurate, so you never re-label your trustees again.
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. Failed, tabled and withdrawn motions are recorded too.
Superintendent reports, student recognitions and public comment are all in the transcript, with unlimited speakers, and summarized in your format.
Your headings, your motion language, your action lines. The minutes read like the ones you already file, and you edit them in a full document editor right in Govably, with no copying into Word.
Your Client Success Manager has local government experience and has written minutes. They set up your format and your trustees, and stay with you, whether the minutes are written by a board secretary or a district clerk. We let actual intelligence check the artificial intelligence.
Publish the minutes, the recording and a searchable transcript to your public portal. Parents and residents click through the transcript to jump to that moment in the recording.
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: trustees, staff, presenters and residents at the podium.
The first time, you confirm who is who. After that Govably names each trustee by VoicePrint at every meeting, and the VoicePrint gets sharper every time you confirm a speaker. Other tools make you re-label speakers every single meeting. Govably remembers them.
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.
