In detail
Because important meetings are not only on Zoom
HeyEla records committee meetings in the browser, via a meeting bot or as an upload, and transcribes them in real time with speaker attribution. You choose the language, start recording, and the transcript is ready when you leave, including meetings that mix dialect and standard language.
Speakers are recognised automatically (diarisation). You can review and correct who said what before the protocol is drafted. If a meeting cannot be recorded live, for example with no connection in the room, capture it on your phone offline and upload the file later. The same secure pipeline on our Swiss servers handles live sessions and uploads, whether the meeting is in person, online or hybrid.
We built this because so many decisions that matter still happen in the room, not only on a video call. Recording auto-saves every five seconds, so a dropped connection or a closed tab does not wipe a three-hour session. You keep one reliable way in for every setup your organisation actually runs.
Many of the decisions that matter still happen in the room, or in hybrid setups where half the board is on site. We built live recording so there is one secure way to capture every scenario: physical, online and hybrid, on laptop or phone, with upload as a fallback when the room has no connection. Processing runs on our servers in Switzerland, so governance audio stays under Swiss hosting rules.

From the field
“Thanks to the five-second auto-save I kept my three-hour board meeting. The laptop lost its connection mid-session and I still did not lose the recording. Huge relief, and thank you to support.”
Frequently asked questions
Does HeyEla understand Swiss German?
Yes. You select the meeting language, and speech recognition is tuned for Swiss German dialects and real boardroom acoustics with several speakers.
Can I upload a recording afterwards?
Yes. If you could not record live, for example without internet in the room, use your phone offline and upload the audio later. MP3, M4A, WAV and common video exports all work.
What if the connection drops mid-meeting?
HeyEla auto-saves every 5 seconds. You can resume an interrupted session without losing what was already captured.
Can I correct who said what?
Yes. Speakers are recognised automatically, and you can review and adjust the diarisation before the protocol is generated.
How can I transcribe a board meeting automatically?
Start the recording in HeyEla - on-site via the meeting device or remotely - and transcription runs along automatically. After the meeting, the transcript is ready as the basis for the minutes.
Does transcription work when dialect and High German are mixed?
Yes. HeyEla is built for Swiss meeting reality: Swiss German contributions and High German passages can alternate within the same meeting.
