In short
With the AIFF audio file the engine writes the table of action items: the transcript first, then the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items. The speech is in English, the free plan gives 3 files a day, and one file is up to 30 minutes.
How to get the file and turn it into action items

Keep the file in the account
Google Drive stores any file type, and the audio formats it previews name MP3, MPEG, WAV, .ogg and .opus
- 2
Give the file to the service
The widget takes the file of the AIFF audio file as it is and marks the speech as English, so the engine does not have to guess what it is about.
- 3
Ask for the table of action items
The instruction that is set for this task goes through the transcript of the AIFF audio file and writes the table of action items in the sections Summary, Decisions, Action items; nothing is added that was not said.
- 4
Set the language of the speech
The recording of the AIFF audio file is in English, and that is one of the 99+ languages the engine reads; the setting of the widget says English and the table of action items follows.
