AI & technology

Human Hansard expertise.
AI-enhanced delivery.

The Hansard Consultancy uses proprietary AI tools — including Shearwater Transcriber — to accelerate transcript production without sacrificing the accuracy and editorial judgment that Hansard demands.

AI is our assistant, not our replacement. Every transcript produced by The Hansard Consultancy is reviewed, edited and certified by an experienced parliamentary reporter.

Local AI processingNo parliamentary audio ever transmitted to external cloud servers. All AI processing conducted locally using Shearwater Transcriber.
Proprietary workflowHansard-specific SmartExport profiles apply speaker formatting, procedural markup and house-style corrections automatically.
Human quality gateEvery transcript passes through experienced editorial review before delivery. AI speeds the process — humans guarantee the outcome.
Shearwater Transcriber

The tool built for this work

Shearwater Transcriber's court recording format compatibility, multi-channel AudioMixer and SmartExport engine make it the ideal platform for parliamentary audio transcription. Built by a reporter. Used by reporters.

Privacy by design

No cloud. No exposure.

Parliamentary proceedings are sensitive by nature. Bradley Reporting's commitment: no audio, no transcript and no metadata ever leaves your jurisdiction's infrastructure or secured local systems.

Custom solutions

Built to your standing orders

Every parliament has different rules, terminology and formatting conventions. The team learns yours before commencement — and build coding and export systems that reflect them precisely.

Ready to discuss
your chamber's needs?

Whether you need a one-off transcript of a select committee hearing or a long-term partnership for your Hansard operation, Bradley Reporting is ready to talk. All initial consultations are obligation-free.
