How it works

How to get the file and turn it into a CRM summary

  1. 1

    Export the safety copy

    The recording is exported at once to WAV or AIFF as a safety copy, before the editing of the file starts

  2. 2

    Send the file to the engine

    The widget takes the file of the Recording in Audacity as it is and marks the speech as English, so the engine does not have to guess what it is about.

  3. 3

    Ask the written instruction for the CRM summary

    The instruction of the CRM summary is written for this task already: it reads the text of the Recording in Audacity and asks for Context, Needs and pains, Objections, and it keeps every claim to the transcript.

  4. 4

    Mark the language of the speech

    The engine reads 99+ languages; this Recording in Audacity is in English, so the language of the widget is set to English for the CRM summary.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    The file of the recording is opened by the standard importer, or by the optional FFmpeg library if it is installed

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.
