How it works

How to get the file and turn it into flashcards for revision

  1. 1

    Tick the file

    You hover over the file or the folder and tick the checkbox next to the name

  2. 2

    Upload the file

    The Dropbox file goes to the service through the upload widget; the speech is English, and the revision deck comes back into the chat.

  3. 3

    Run the instruction of the revision deck

    The instruction of the task asks for the revision deck and puts the answer about the Dropbox file into the sections Cards, Terms to define, Self-check questions; a claim that is not in the recording is not written.

  4. 4

    Mark the language of the speech

    The speech of the Dropbox file is English, one of the 99+ languages the engine reads, and the widget is left on English while the revision deck is written.

  5. 5

    Check the file before the upload

    A document of Dropbox Paper is converted first: Save as and a file format are chosen, and the new file is downloaded as well

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.
