Council sessions and committees, with draft minutes and subtitles
Echo transcribes council sessions, committees and meetings with every speech and its time, and prepares the summary with what was decided. Subtitles make the videos accessible, and the data is processed on Edorteam’s own servers in the EU.
What it costs today
Minutes that take days
Writing up a three-hour session takes far longer than the session itself.
Videos without subtitles
Publishing sessions with accessible subtitles takes time or a separate service.
Finding what was said
Knowing what each group said about an item means going through the whole recording.

A committee meeting
A town council records its planning committee and uploads the video to Echo. The clerk’s office names each councillor once, reviews the speeches and downloads the draft as Word to prepare the minutes. The communications team downloads the video with burned-in subtitles to publish it.
The transcript and summary are a draft: the official minutes are written and approved by whoever holds that role.
Frequently asked questions
Is Echo certified under Spain’s National Security Framework (ENS)?
No. Echo holds no certifications for now. The Privacy policy, the Data processing agreement and the list of sub-processors are on the website for your assessment.
Does it replace the official minutes?
No. Echo prepares a faithful draft of what was said; whoever is responsible for certifying the minutes reviews it and writes them.
Does it handle long sessions?
Yes. Long sessions are summarised in parts which are then combined. Each file can be up to 2 GB.
Can we record from the chamber?
Yes. With Live, Echo records with the computer’s microphone and you see the text as people speak. You can also upload the recording from the chamber’s own system.
