Box file to action items in English
Box file to action items in English: send the file and get the text with the timecodes. One file may be up to 30 minutes on the free plan, no minute limit on Pro.
Upload the Box file and ask for the table of action items. The speech is in English, the engine keeps the time of every line, and one file may be up to 30 minutes. The free plan gives 3 files a day.
How to get the file and turn it into action items
- 1
Take the file out of the archive
The zip file is unpacked on the device, and the file inside is the one that is transcribed
- 2
Send the file to the engine
The engine takes the Box file from the widget of the page; the speech is in English, and the table of action items comes back with the timecodes.
- 3
Ask for the table of action items
The instruction of the table of action items is written for this task already: it reads the text of the Box file and asks for Summary, Decisions, Action items, and it keeps every claim to the transcript.

Name the language of the speech
The speech of the Box file is English, one of the 99+ languages the engine reads, and the widget is left on English while the table of action items is written.

Tips

Set the language of the Box file before you send the file.
A file over 30 minutes has to be cut into parts; the Pro plan takes a recording of any length.
