Ipsa Verba (Latin for "the very words") turns recordings of meetings, interviews and hearings, in English or Afrikaans, into accurate transcripts. It runs on our own servers: recordings are never sent to a third-party transcription service, and every transcript is checked by a person.

Checked every five minutes since 5 October 2026, from our own server, through the public address exactly as you would reach it. A check that fails or does not happen counts as down, except during planned maintenance (updates, upgrades and enhancements), which is shown in its own colour with its minutes and left out of the uptime figures.
