What does the AVI keep for the AVI video file?
Google Drive keeps an .AVI among the video files it stores, next to .MOV and .MPEGPS. The file of the AVI video file is the input of the engine, and the task list is written from it.

In short
What the AVI stores is what the engine needs. The Russian speech becomes the task list in the sections Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later; one file may be up to 30 minutes, and 3 files a day are free.
How to get the file and turn it into a task list
- 1
Take the audio out
The FFmpeg library of Audacity imports the audio of most video files
- 2
Upload the file
The engine takes the AVI video file from the widget of the page; the speech is in Russian, and the task list comes back with the timecodes.
- 3
Run the instruction of the task list
The transcript of the AVI video file goes to the instruction that is written for the task list, and the sections of the answer are Topic, Tasks, Ideas for later.
- 4
Mark the language of the speech
The engine reads 99+ languages; the speech of this AVI video file is in Russian, and the widget carries that setting for the task list.
- 5
Check the file before the upload
AVI stands in the list of the input formats of the VLC player, next to MPEG (ES,PS,TS,PVA,MP3) and ASF / WMV / WMA
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.

What the recording does not give you
The VLC player opens AVI among the input formats it reads, in the same line with MPEG and ASF. The AVI video file is only the input: the engine reads the Russian speech and writes the task list out of the transcript.
