In short

With the AIFF audio file the engine writes the minutes: the transcript first, then the sections Attendees, Agenda, Discussion by item. The speech is in English, the free plan gives 3 files a day, and one file is up to 30 minutes.

How it works

How to get the file and turn it into file

  1. 1

    Open the file

    The AIFF files are imported into Audacity with the standard uncompressed files importer

  2. 2

    Upload the file

    The file of the AIFF audio file is sent as an attachment; the language of the speech is English, and the minutes comes back in the export of the service.

  3. 3

    Ask the written instruction for the minutes

    The instruction of the task asks for the minutes and puts the answer about the AIFF audio file into the sections Attendees, Agenda, Discussion by item; a claim that is not in the recording is not written.

  4. 4

    Mark 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 minutes follows.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    The safety copy of a recording in Audacity is written as a WAV or an AIFF file

The result

What comes back from the engine

  • TXT

    One segment per line, the way a person wrote it down. It is the format to paste into a ticket, a chat or a document.

  • TXT, CSV

    The start and the end time of every segment, and the speakers named separately when you ask for it.

  • SRT, VTT

    SRT and VTT with the time of every line, so the recording can carry its own subtitles.

  • Markdown, DOCX

    The transcript is edited through the API and exported as Markdown for a wiki, or as DOCX for a review.
