Case Study: State Parliament of a Major German State

Organization

The state parliament plays a central role in the political landscape of the federal state. The plenary sessions are an essential part of the democratic process in which laws are debated and passed. The quality and precision of the minutes of these meetings are of the utmost importance in order to ensure transparency and traceability for the public.

Challenge

The state parliament faced a significant challenge: creating verbatim transcripts of plenary sessions was a manual, time-consuming process. Staff had to live-transcribe sessions, which was resource-intensive.

Solution

Seeking a more efficient method, the parliament chose VIDEO.TAXI’s innovative solution. VIDEO.TAXI’s AI-powered transcription technology provided a tailored solution perfectly suited to the parliament’s needs.
Plenary sessions are live-streamed and automatically segmented into 25-minute audio files. These files are generated through an automated interface and sent via API to VIDEO.TAXI’s transcription software.
 

The process

The transcription process is fully automated. Once uploaded, the AI-driven transcription begins, incorporating a specialized dictionary that includes specific terms and jargon used in the state parliament. This ensures high accuracy of the transcripts,
which are essential for official documentation. The completed transcriptions are then available for download and further processing to create the official minutes.
 

Result

The introduction of automated transcription significantly improved the efficiency of minute-making.
Staff can now focus on analytical tasks rather than manual transcription, reducing workload and increasing job satisfaction and productivity.
